Her gift is evolving. Her girlfriend is hearing a voice that belongs to no one living. And the case was closed in six hours.
Six months after the murders that shook Willowmere, Sophie Huang's psychometry is changing. It used to hand her flashes. Now it pulls her all the way inside a memory and lets her walk around in someone's last afternoon. She doesn't know the rules yet, so she hasn't told Cameron.
Cameron has a secret of her own. Lately, near the water, she hears whispers. She hasn't told Sophie.
Then eighteen-year-old Susie Park is found dead at Harker's Pond, and the town closes the case before dinner. Suicide, the report says. Susie's best friend isn't having it: Susie was happy. She was making plans. She was keeping the baby.
Sophie touches Susie's belongings and steps into her last afternoon, and what she finds there is not a girl who wanted to die. The deeper she and Cameron dig, the less the evidence adds up to one killer and the heavier two kept secrets grow in one small house.
For readers who want the couple to stay together after book one and get tested anyway.
Book 2 of the Willowmere Mysteries. Reads as a standalone, no cliffhanger, HEA. Closed door, no gore, fair-play clues.
Tropes: established sapphic couple - evolving psychic gift - small-town Halloween - fair-play whodunit - secrets between lovers - justice for a forgotten girl
