Readers who enjoy character-driven thrillers will be pleased. McDonald weaves together Eva and Kat’s narratives, which span past and present, to create a compulsively readable and fast-paced yarn that explores the lingering effects of trauma and abuse as well as the complex bonds between mothers and daughters. Originally from Seattle, WA, she has an MA in Journalism from the National University. Her third book, Do No Harm, is available February 2021. As her memory starts to return, Eva discovers shocking secrets about her mother and herself-and a killer may still be on the loose. Christina McDonald is the USA Today bestselling author of Behind Every Lie and The Night Olivia Fell (Simon & Schuster/Gallery Books), which has been optioned for television by a major Hollywood studio. The letter leads her to London, where Kat lived when Eva was a child. Eva is sure she didn’t do it, and after she finds a shocking letter in her mother’s house, she’s determined to find out who did.


The detective working the case thinks Eva killed Kat, but he doesn’t have enough evidence to arrest her. Eva later wakes up in a hospital with no memory of recent events, including the stabbing murder of her mother, Kat. At the start of this intriguing suspense novel from McDonald ( The Night Olivia Fell), artist Eva Hanson is struck by lightning near her mother’s Seattle home.
