I was there. I saw what you did.
Blaise
I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward.
Connections run deep in our small town.
I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things.
I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised.
Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps.
I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second.
Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light…even if they have to kill me.
In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong.
Content warning: A sexual assault storyline may be upsetting to some readers.
Reviews for In the Air Tonight:
“WOW. This five-star read just became one of my favorite reads of 2024!! With its scintillating storyline and cast of memorable small-town characters, this bingeable edge-of-your-seat read captivated me from the very start.” ~ juliereads_alot
“This was such a riveting story! The writing flowed so well between all the characters and dual timelines. I loved getting a viewpoint from every character and seeing how this difficult situation affected each and every one of them. I could really feel the emotions of the characters throughout and was brought to tears by the end. This is such a heavy topic but written so well I could not put it down. And the romantic storyline—swoon! I highly recommend this one for fans of romantic suspense!” ~ 5 stars, Jennifer Horton on Goodreads
“With multiple POVs, a split timeline, a small-town setting, and a heinous crime, Marie Force’s newest book is sure to be a crowd-pleaser among thriller-lovers.” ~ bookstilbedtime
“I am a huge fan of Marie Force and love her books. This book is no exception, yet it is very different from her usual books. A horrendous event. Understandable and gut wrenching reactions from everyone. I love how the author used multiple POV’s to tell this story. I was totally invested; at times appalled and wanting to cry and at other times angry. I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting (yes, it was 2am before I finished). Kudos to the author!” ~ 5 stars, Karen on Goodreads
“Ya’ll, this is one bombshell of a book. It’s a short, fast, intense read, and it hits you hard and in all the feels.” ~ 5 stars, Dea Farrel on Goodreads
