“Outstanding…An engrossing story line and cast of fully developed characters make this debut psychological thriller hard to put down.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Description
The summer after she graduated from high school, Gin Sullivan’s sister, Lily, went missing. Her family fell apart, not to mention her relationship with her high school sweetheart, Jake. Now, almost twenty years later, Gin is living in Chicago and working as a medical examiner when she gets the call that a body’s been found in the woods outside her small hometown. It’s Lily’s.
Confronting your past is never easy, but for Gin it means confronting Jake, who was the prime suspect in Lily’s disappearance. And as Gin examines her sister’s remains, she uncovers a shocking truth that could change everything—if it doesn’t kill her first.
Buried secrets come to light in Dark Road Home, Anna Carlisle’s sharp and simmering debut mystery.
