Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena and Hannah Mary McKinnon, a mystery writer’s sudden disappearance leads a budding filmmaker down a dark road to treachery, murder, and long-buried sins.
Aspiring filmmaker June Masterson has high hopes for her first documentary, the true story of the disappearance of famed mystery author Greer Larkin. June learned about the vanishing at age fourteen, locked down on her family’s isolated commune. Now, the deeper she digs into the project, the darker the story gets.
Everyone has a theory. Greer’s mother, Blanche, and her best friend, Rachel, believe that Greer’s fiancé, Jonathan, is the culprit. Greer’s agent is convinced that Greer committed suicide after a debilitating bout of writer’s block. And Jonathan claims it was either Greer’s controlling mother or Rachel, whose attachment to Greer went way beyond friendship.
In desperation, Rachel gives June a suitcase full of Greer’s most personal writings in hopes of finding proof against Jonathan. Then Rachel turns up dead. As June pores over Greer’s writings, she makes a devastating discovery that could finally reveal the truth about the author’s fate. But now, June finds herself in the sights of a killer who’ll stop at nothing to keep their darkest secret.

      June Masterson, a student at New York Film School and the narrator of Carlson’s enticing debut, decides for her new thesis topic to focus on the disappearance of mystery writer Greer Larkin, “winner of five Edgar Awards... before she was twenty-four,” who vanished 20 years earlier. Reading Greer’s books provided mental escape for June from the dreary commune in the Adirondacks where she lived with her hippie parents before entering film school. June begins her project by interviewing Greer’s best friend, her controlling elitist mother, and her former literary agent. Though the most likely suspect appears to be Greer’s onetime fiancé, Jonathan Vanderpoole, June isn’t convinced that Jonathan’s responsible for Greer’s disappearance. June soon discovers that someone doesn’t want her to find out the truth after she receives a threatening note attached to her door by a knife and a person breaks into her apartment. The charming June is supported by a cast of quirky, yet realistic, secondary characters, including her thesis adviser and lover, and the twisty plot delivers more than one surprise. Readers will be curious to see what Carlson comes up with next. Agent: Abby Saul, Lark Group.
