In Willowbend, the river keeps everyone's secrets-until the night it finally gives one back.
Teenager Morgan Greer has spent years learning the town's rules: smile, stay quiet, belong. But when a sudden surge from the dam turns deadly and a local boy vanishes into the chaos, Willowbend's charm curdles into suspicion.
Rumors spread faster than the current. A powerful pastor preaches unity while fear tightens its grip. The dam-old, familiar, and supposedly safe-starts to look like the town's most dangerous weapon.
As Morgan follows a trail of half-truths, favors, and carefully kept silences, she realizes something worse than the storm is at work: everyone has something to hide, and nobody is as okay as they pretend. In a place where reputation matters more than truth, asking questions can make you the next target.
A cozy small-town mystery with a dark underbelly, THE NIGHT THE RIVER STOPPED is a tense, twisty whodunit about belonging, betrayal, and what rises when the water won't stay quiet.
