Winner of the 2021 Edgar Award for Best First Novel

In this “beautifully written, thoughtful page-turner” (Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists) from “the next big voice in crime fiction” (Susan Scarf Merrell, author of Shirley), two young women become unlikely friends during one fateful summer in Atlantic City as mysterious disappearances hit dangerously close to home.

Summer has come to Atlantic City but the boardwalk is empty of tourists, the casino lights have dimmed, and two Jane Does are laid out in the marshland behind the Sunset Motel, just west of town. Only one person even knows they’re there.

Meanwhile, Clara, a young boardwalk psychic, struggles to attract clients for the tarot readings that pay her rent. When she begins to experience very real and disturbing visions, she suspects they could be related to the recent cases of women gone missing in town. When Clara meets Lily, an ex-Soho art gallery girl who is working at a desolate casino spa and reeling from a personal tragedy, she thinks Lily may be able to help her. But Lily has her own demons to face. If they can put the pieces together in time, they may save another lost girl—so long as their efforts don’t attract perilous attention first.

“You won’t be able to stop turning the pages of this heartbreaking” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and compelling psychological thriller that explores the intersection of womanhood, power, and violence.

Interesting

It was kinda hard to follow, but enjoyed it, interesting how long it took to find them

Intriguing! Very thoughtfully written.

The story moved along and the change of character voices helped set the stage for that character. It’s a well-written book with strong messages. The narrators’ voice lent emotion to the listeners thoughts.

Unique to genre

Make sure to add this one to your list!! Great and unique book with well developed characters.

Compelling Tale

Great story very cleverly knitted together. Listened on my drive from NYC to Miami. Really wonderful characters and descriptive, beautiful vocabulary. Highly recommended!

just... ish

so I was actually kind of enjoying this book and then when I looked and seen their was like 20 minutes left I was floored. it could've went longer and been better in my opinion. maybe I should listen again and see if it doesn't seem so abrupt to end but ... it was good but I wouldn't tell someone they just have to listen to it ya know? I would say overall it was alright. it seemed once I started to want to listen to it it was almost over.

Must read

Very smart book. Brilliant sense of place throughout and finishes as a thriller that any lover of mysteries will enjoy

fantastic

Loved it , you have to read it it kept me interested and I know that you will enjoy it

great book

great story!! there people reading the story did a great job with each character as well. really hard to stop listening once I fully committed to it.

Great story

I loved this book, it was an awesome story, but I think the author has issues with men and the way that she thinks woman are seen. Just an observation.

OMG ALERT FOR THE DEPRESSED

This is not a story for people who are already down!
Narration good, writing vocabulary good.... story only Debbie Downer could think up! Who would wanna go to Atlantic City after reading this? All dark and sad! I’m sure it probably is reality for many but I read to escape reality! If you do to then this is not for you!
