Before the Curtain Falls by C.L. Watson

The vanishings have gone on for decades. Always on March 19th. Always at midnight. No bodies. No return.

When sound engineer Micah Fenwick arrives in the unnervingly quiet town of Welton Hollow to repair its ancient bell tower, he expects creaking gears and dusty rafters, not a place where every street feels rehearsed, every shadow seems to follow, and the locals speak in half-finished lines. Partnering with sharp-witted librarian Hazel Archer, whose mother was among the forty-seven missing, Micah begins to see the town for what it is: a stage set for a deadly performance.

As the date of the next disappearance looms, Micah and Hazel must navigate cryptic maps, poisoned props, and a network of watchers who already know their every move. Breaking free means stepping off the script entirely, if they can survive long enough to rewrite the ending.

Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient and Gone Girl, Before the Curtain Falls blends suspense, psychological mystery, and haunting atmosphere into a story you won't be able to put down...or forget.
