A woman invited to her wealthy fiance’s family retreat realizes they are hiding a terrible secret—and that she’s been there before, by the bestselling author of What Lies in the Woods.
A whirlwind romance.
When Theodora Scott met Connor—wealthy, charming, and a member of the powerful Dalton family—she fell in love in an instant. Six months later, he’s brought her to Idlewood, his family’s isolated winter retreat, to win over his skeptical relatives.
Stay away from Connor Dalton.
Theo has tried to ignore the threatening messages on her phone, but she can’t ignore the footprints in the snow outside the cabin window or the strange sense of familiarity she has about this place. Then, in a disused cabin, Theo finds something impossible: a photo of herself as a child. A photo taken at Idlewood.
I’ve been here before.
Theo has almost no recollection of her earliest years, but now she begins to piece together the fragments of her memories. Someone here has a shocking secret that they will do anything to keep hidden, and Theo is in terrible danger. Because the Daltons do not lose, and discovering what happened at Idlewood may cost Theo everything.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An amnesiac grows suspicious of her new fiancé's family in this taut psychological thriller from Marshall (No One Can Know). Within months of meeting handsome scion Connor Dalton at a party, Theodora "Theo" Scott—who has significant gaps in her memory of the early years of her life—eagerly accepts his marriage proposal. As the novel opens, Theo is preparing to accompany Connor to his family's vast, isolated winter estate, even as she fears that his relatives suspect her of gold-digging. Those anxieties spike when Theo receives a series of anonymous text messages just before they arrive, the eeriest of them asserting that the sender knows who Theo is and "what did," and will expose her secrets if she doesn't keep away from Connor. Once Theo settles in at the Daltons' estate, she attempts to suss out who's been threatening her, while also contending with an eerie feeling that she's been on the property before. Flashbacks gradually fill in the blurry details of Theo's past, keeping readers on edge. Fans of Riley Sager will enjoy this.
