Summer, 1989. Reeling from a catastrophic divorce she just can't seem to leave behind, Francine Haddix flees San Francisco for a two-week stay at her sister's house in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois. The quaint neighborhood of shady trees and friendly neighbors seems like the perfect place to sort through her pain and finally move on with her life-but the tranquility doesn't last long.
Beginning with a complete stranger throwing a drink in her face at her own welcome party, Francine soon discovers the supposedly idyllic suburb is hiding a disturbing number of mysteries. Why is the handsome-ish guy next door lying about who he is? What's hidden in the back of the teenage troublemaker's shed? Who wrote a threatening message in blood? Which of the smiling neighbors has a secret they'd kill to keep?
Seeking to reclaim a natural passion for sleuthing numbed by her divorce, Francine rewrites her prescription from one of relaxation to one of investigation. If she can detect the lies, follow the clues, and remember how to trust herself, she might get to the bottom of what's so very wrong in Hawthorn Woods. She might even be able to believe the future can be good again-assuming she lives long enough to be in it.
