Packed with nerve-shredding tension, I Heard You Scream is impossible to put down. The complex characters, fast-paced plot, and shocking twists will keep you on the edge of your seat. For fans of Riley Sager, Lucy Foley, and Shari Lapena.
Five can keep a secret if four are dead.
On a cold fall night in a small Canadian town, four of Chelsea's friends are found dead, victims of a brutal stabbing—a selfish act of revenge.
The only witness, Chelsea spends the next five years struggling to bury her trauma. The victims' families call her a hero. Her fiancé calls her the love of his life. Her best friend tells her there's nothing more she could have done for her friends. She's almost convinced herself that it's true when she attends an anniversary memorial held at the scene of the crime.
But Chelsea's ability to ignore the past comes to an end that very night when she receives an intimidating message.
Tell the police the truth about what you all did that night or I will.
You have 48 hours to confess.
Is it an empty threat from someone digging for facts they don't actually possess? Or does someone else know Chelsea shared a secret with her friends? Either way, Chelsea knows the stakes are too high to ignore when the blackmailer resorts to violence—those closest to her might be the next victims if she doesn't do as they ask.
The truth can ruin her life. But the lies have her just as trapped, a pawn in a deadly game even she doesn't fully understand. She has no choice but to confess.
But Chelsea's about to discover that some things are best taken to the grave.
"... addictive, fast-paced, and decidedly tense. If you like psychological thrillers by Ruth Ware and Abigail Haas, you'll enjoy this book." -Meghan O'Flynn, bestselling author of the Mind Games series
Customer Reviews
The truth will set her free…or not!
For her 20th book, Emerald O'brien hits hard. She masterfully interweaves the past and the present to reveal the story of Chelsea, who survived while four of her friends tragically died.
She has a gift for establishing an aura of mystery where the senses are heightened, making the story even more graphic and real. And what about her human approach that allows her to create characters that we can sometimes identify with, that we love or hate. This is, in my opinion, one of her strengths and what allows her words to come alive and draw us into her worlds where action, mystery and thrills are not lacking. I received an ARC of this novel and this is my honest review.
