Publisher Description
"Turn[ing] a familiar suburban setting into a deliciously chilling landscape… Garza once again proves she's a master of twisted relationships." —Ashley Winstead, author of In My Dreams I Hold a Knife
In this chilling new novel, a woman discovers that her estranged daughter is missing, but no one believes her, until she meets a man claiming to be her daughter’s fiancé.
Tatum hasn’t seen her daughter, Adrienne, in years, not since Tatum’s husband—the pastor in their small California town—all but disowned her. When she finally gathers the courage to secretly reconnect with Adrienne, Tatum’s thrilled she’s even willing to talk to her. But then—Adrienne disappears.
Tatum tries desperately to get the police or her husband to take her daughter’s disappearance seriously, but no one will listen, until a mysterious man shows up claiming to be Adrienne’s fiancé. It’s a relief to finally have someone who believes her, someone who’s trying as hard as she is to find out where Adrienne is. But can she trust that this stranger is who he says he is? And can she find her daughter before it’s too late?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A mother’s love forces her into a serpentine mystery in this taut thriller. Tatum has finally reconnected with her adult daughter, Adrienne. But just as they’re about to start talking again, Adrienne goes missing. And even worse: No one believes Tatum when she looks for help—not her pastor husband, the police, or Adrienne’s co-workers at a local bar. The only person who believes her is a young man who shows up claiming to be Adrienne’s fiancé—whom Tatum isn’t sure she can trust. Author Amber Garza builds sharp twists and turns into the tight plot of this mystery as Tatum gets closer and closer to the truth. Three narrators keep you riveted as the action shifts between Tatum, Adrienne, and the mystery fiancé. In a Quiet Town is a clever whodunit with a sense of urgency that will leave you breathless.
