Beschrijving uitgever
In this “haunting psychological thriller” (Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author) one woman searches for answers when another woman goes missing from a desperate, drug-addled mountain town where everyone is implicated in her disappearance.
Clare is on the run. From her past, from her husband, and from her own secrets. When she turns up alone in the remote mining town of Blackmore asking questions about Shayna Fowles, a young woman who has gone missing, everyone wants to know who Clare really is and what she’s hiding. Because everyone in this place has secrets—Jared, Shayna’s mysterious ex-husband; Charlie, the charming drug pusher; Derek, Shayna’s overly involved family doctor; and Louise and Wilfred, her distraught parents.
As Clare unravels the mysteries surrounding Shayna’s disappearance, Clare must confront her own demons, as she moves deeper and deeper into her elaborate web of lies. But what is she really running from?
“Dark and deliciously disturbing” (Publishers Weekly), Still Mine will haunt you long after you turn the final page.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Canadian author Stuart's dark and deliciously disturbing debut, enigmatic Malcolm Boon hires Clare O'Dey, who has run away from her husband, to come to the remote mining town of Blackmore (in what could be either Canada or the U.S.) and search for Shayna Fowles, who disappeared three weeks earlier. Clare and Shayna have much in common. Both women were drug users and trapped in loveless, violent marriages; they even resemble each other, and their husbands are likewise similar. Vanishing and using another name was easy for Clare, who wonders if Shayna did the same. Moving into a ramshackle trailer next to Shayna's parents' home, Clare becomes involved with local drug dealer Charlie Merritt, single mom Sara Gorman, and Shayna's ex-husband. Secrets abound in this mountain town, which has been dying since a tragedy shuttered the local mine. Clare doesn't know whom to trust, including Boon, who's working on behalf of an unknown client. Stuart's perceptive look at addiction, abuse, and obsession will resonate with fans of psychological thrillers.
