Thank you to Net Galley and Thomas & Mercer for this ARC.

Who else was super emotional reading this final installment of Stillhouse Lake? I had such a hard time bringing myself to start it knowing it was going to be the last. THAT AUTHOR'S NOTE!

We lost such a talent with the death of Rachel Caine. I'm sad we won't get to live in her worlds anymore, and I'm sad this is the end of Gwen and the kids.

This was definitely the darkest book in the series, starting with the discovery of the drowned bodies of two babies in the backseat of a submerged car. Detective Kezia Claremont, recently pregnant herself, instantly gets emotionally involved. How did these children end up in the lake and who can she make pay for it?

Gwen Proctor has once again settled in a new town, as her former identity has once again left her and her family exposed. When she receives another letter from her dead ex-husband, serial killer Melvin Royal, she knows she needs to track down the source. She's paid for his actions too many times.

When her recent letter and Kezia's case start to follow the same leads, they know they need to work together to protect their families and protect each other.
