"ABOUT THAT NIGHT" Twenty years ago, Lena Jennings disappeared on a cold winter night in her small Wisconsin town. Her sister, Claire, has lived with the guilt ever since—especially after her mother cut ties with her for daring to ask questions. Now, with her father dead, her mother in a senior living facility, and no one else left to manage the family home, Claire returns to pack up the past. But the past refuses to stay buried. A note appears on her doorstep: "You were there. You know." As more notes arrive, Claire finds herself unraveling not only her sister's disappearance but also the secrets that consumed her family. Her fragile relationship with her ailing mother cracks under the weight of unspoken truths, and when Nick, her childhood neighbor and one-time crush, returns on military leave, old feelings flare even as suspicions rise. Could Nick himself be behind the messages—or is someone else trying to tear them apart? The search leads Claire and Nick to a shocking discovery: a scarf Lena wore the night she vanished, perfectly preserved and planted at the old bridge. More unsettling still, a hidden ledger connects Lena to a shadow network of "quiet money." As they dig deeper, Claire realizes Lena uncovered the scheme and paid the price for it. Taut, emotional, and intimate in the style of Karen McQuestion, this mystery blends suspense, romance, and family drama into a story about sisters, secrets, and the cost of speaking up.
