"Chilling, gripping." —Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True
For Raquel and Theo Collins, it appeared to be love at first sight. Raquel, a renowned interior designer, and Theo, a brash financial wizard met and married in a matter of months, only to confront a terrible tragedy. Now, unbearably aware of the distance between them, they’ve come to a remote town in New Hampshire to begin anew.
Perched on a ledge with stunning views, the Dixon’s family lodge was once a crown jewel of the mountains. Until late one August night, when both parents and their four children vanished, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints, and a mystery that has endured for thirty years. Now, its latest occupants, the Collinses, are arriving, and the former grand lodge is once more stirring to life.
For Amanda Grady, following in her father’s footsteps as the recently appointed Shereford police chief, it’s good to see a fresh start for the derelict Dixon place. However, not everyone is happy about a new family in the old home and its hidden past may have returned with a vengeance.
When a stray dog leads to the discovery of a skeleton on the property, Raquel and Theo face a daunting choice of what to believe, who to trust, and how to survive. Because in the tiny village of Shereford the time has come. The local residents, the new neighbors, and the fledgling police chief must work together to unravel the terrifying events that happened one night thirty years ago, or …
You’ll be sorry.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Lisa Gardner returns with a standalone thriller packed with twists and small-town intrigue. Raquel and Theo arrive in a tiny New Hampshire village determined to rebuild their short, troubled marriage. But their picturesque mountain home happens to be the scene of the village’s most notorious unsolved mystery, and no amount of redecorating will hide this house’s secrets. Gardner expertly weaves together a chilling cold case, local folklore, gossip, personal heartbreak, and a pair of scene-stealing dogs into an increasingly intricate puzzle where every answer uncovers another question. Narrator Hillary Huber brings warmth, vulnerability, and quiet menace to the novel’s sprawling cast, making even its wildest twists easy to follow. You’ll Be Sorry is a deliciously creepy thriller whose emotional core makes every revelation hit that much harder.
