Book synopsis
When literature professor Tess receives a desperate 3:00 A.M. text from her teenage son Rudy, she rushes to his 'safe place' on the Maine coast to find him shivering, damp, and evasive. Her relief at bringing him home safely is shattered the next morning when the body of Rudy's girlfriend, Lila, is discovered on the rocks below that very same cliff. As the police investigation begins, Tess must navigate a web of secrets and her son's own history of blackouts to discover the truth about what happened in the fog.

A pleasant surprise
The dialogue is sharp and never feels forced. Worth far more than what I paid.

A pleasant surprise
I stayed up far too late finishing this one. I would happily buy another title from this store.
