Perfect mothers. Perfect daughters. Perfect lies.

After her husband’s death, Dahlia Kincaid and her 14-year-old daughter Mia move to the exclusive lakefront community of Blackthorn Shores, Michigan, hoping for a fresh start.

It feels like a miracle: lakefront views, immaculate homes, and a coveted spot in the elite circle of neighborhood mothers.

Even Mia is welcomed by the popular girls. For the first time, Dahlia dares to believe they’ve finally found belonging.

But after a neighborhood slumber party, one of the girls is found dead.

The police suspect murder. The evidence points toward Mia. Blood stains her clothes, fresh scratches mark her arms, and her story keeps changing.

Every lie Mia tells makes Dahlia wonder what else her daughter is hiding.

As rumors swirl and suspicion mounts, the mothers who once embraced Dahlia turn wary and cold. Mia withdraws, shutting Dahlia out completely.

Desperate to protect her daughter, Dahlia begins her own hunt for the truth, digging into the secrets buried beneath the community’s polished façade.

But every answer she uncovers brings her closer to losing both her child and the life she’s fought so hard to build.

One thing is certain: someone in Blackthorn Shores is a killer. And as Dahlia closes in on the truth, her worst fear isn’t that the killer will escape—it’s that she already knows who it is.

From USA Today bestselling author Kyla Stone comes a propulsive domestic thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena, and Freida McFadden. Narrated by award-winning Brittany Pressley.
