384 pages, 2019
A woman's ordinary life is shattered when she realizes that a case on a true crime podcast is connected to her. The day Anna Mcdonald's quiet life explodes, she's packing up her kids for school, making breakfast, and listening to a true-crime podcast like all the other days. Her husband comes downstairs with an announcement and she is suddenly, shockingly alone.
Reeling and desperate for distraction, she returns to the podcast; other people’s problems are much better than one’s own - but this case actually is Anna’s problem. She knows one of the victims from an earlier life – a life she took great pains to leave behind - and she is convinced that she knows what really happened.
