What to expect
Lucy Abbott never pictured herself coming back to Fawn Grove, Maine. Yet after serving time in Afghanistan, then years spent as a sous chef in New York, she's realized her only hope of moving on from the past involves facing it again. But Fawn Grove has changed. When a Muslim teenage girl is found murdered along the banks of the river, difficult memories of Lucy's time overseas come flooding back. At first glance, the tragedy looks like an honour killing. But the more Lucy learns about her old hometown, the less certain that seems. There is menace and hostility here, clothed in neighbourly smiles and a veneer of comfort. And when another teen is found dead in a cornfield, Lucy must confront a truth more brutal than she could have imagined…
