Description
It’s been seven long years since Everett Johnson set foot in the wilds of Killdeer, Montana. But his father, the sheriff, is missing, and Everett is determined to find him…or bury him.
In the weeks before he vanished, Sheriff Dale Johnson was investigating the murder of Orsie Armel, a beautiful young girl found naked in the woods, shot with her own gun. Orsie came from a family of reclusive, powerful women whose prime acreage has long been the target of many people’s speculation – and ire. She also happened to be the cousin of Bernadine Armel, the only woman Everett ever loved. His return thrusts him headfirst into the minefields of estranged family and neglected friendships, and back into the arms of Bernadine, who is still as beautiful and mysterious as ever.
But as he delves deeper in the family’s past, he uncovers a sinister pattern of murders and hints of supernatural phenomena he can’t explain. In the end, Everett’s search for truth forces him to confront the past that has haunted him all these years—and the impossible secret beneath it all.

What a wild ride this book was. The secrets, the twists, the weird happenings, and the journey you take with Everett.
This has been one of my favourite mysteries of the year and I'm very excited to go and grab my shelf trophy tomorrow!
Davina L, Reviewer
A small-town murder mystery that takes a darker, unexpected turn. When a troubled young man returns to the town he once ran away from, he finds himself trying to solve the mystery of his missing father while confronting the place and past he left behind.
I AM SATISFIED.
I really enjoyed this one! Right from the beginning, the book establishes that small-town atmosphere, with a run-down main character whose complicated past makes you want to know more about him. I loved the characters, and the writing style made it incredibly easy to get into the story.
But what really made this book stand out was the twist. What starts as a murder mystery turns into something more, and I thought the reveal was unexpected but very well done. It added another layer to the story that I genuinely appreciated.
Everything felt thorough and well thought out. The mystery had enough substance to keep me invested, and I never felt the need to rush through it. In fact, I savored every part of this book because I wanted to enjoy the experience rather than race to the ending.
Sometimes, you just need a good mystery or thriller to sink your teeth into, and this one delivered exactly what I was looking for. If you enjoy small-town mysteries with compelling characters and a twist that takes the story somewhere unexpected, give this one a try!
