"A haunting thriller with a mic-drop twist."
— Kirkus Reviews

"Schafer writes with a polished ease ... a suspenseful mystery that lands with real emotional depth. ... Satisfying twists that will keep readers engaged. ... Fans of generational mysteries with small-town tensions will be riveted."
— BookLife by Publishers Weekly

"Absorbing...less interested in cheap shocks than in the long afterlife of loss, silence, and reinvention. ... Resists easy Gothic theatrics...a quieter, more adult kind of unease."
— Manhattan Book Review
