A New Mystery from Rachael Dahl
Coming Summer 2027
A murdered neighbor
✯
An accused best friend
✯
A small town full of secrets
✯
As the wife of an LDS bishop and a mother of three, Slade Temple has learned to pay attention. She notices what people need, what they don’t say, and the small things everyone else misses.
Then one of her neighbors is murdered.
When suspicion falls on Slade’s best friend, Nash—the woman who publicly hated the victim—Slade is certain the police have the wrong person. So, she starts asking questions of the people she knows best. And in Shem Valley, that’s almost everyone. Slade knows her neighbors—their marriages, their grudges, and the things they’d rather keep private. Or at least she thought she did.
Then a second neighbor is murdered.
Someone in Slade’s close-knit community is hiding something worth killing for. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks making herself—or someone she loves—the killer’s next victim.
The people you know best keep the most dangerous secrets.
