“I have a sister. But we haven’t spoken in years”
That’s what I told everyone. I lied.
My sister’s been missing for 22 years, her body never found.
Her disappearance has haunted me ever since.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Willingham's suffocating latest Southern thriller (after Only If You're Lucky) thrusts disillusioned New York City journalist Claire Campbell back into the rural South Carolina environs she'd hoped to flee forever. When Claire's father calls to tell her that her mother has been in an accident, she reluctantly returns to her hometown of Claxton, S.C., having just quit her job and tired of her latest friend-with-benefits. Still grieving her older sister Natalie's disappearance 22 years earlier, Claire can't bear to stay at home, so she takes lodging on a spooky nearby island and finds a job picking grapes for elderly local Mitchell and his spacey wife, Marcia. Finding Marcia's teenage diary ignites Claire's curiosity about her new employers, and soon, she's mired in Dixie-fiction clichés, dealing with copperheads and cups of suspicious tea as she notices that Marcia's youthful obsession with an older man mirrors the long-missing Natalie's. Willingham tries to enliven the flat proceedings with gothic accouterments and long-festering family secrets, but none of it takes. The result is a pedestrian tale of angst and obsession that will leave overheated readers yearning for a blast of convincing realism.
