"From the bestselling author of My Lovely Wife comes a reckless, delicious thriller about a young couple that gives a whole new meaning to the dangers of modern dating.

But they're back together again and swear this time will be different. No more games, no more drama, and certainly no more crimes. Orange jumpsuits aren't a good look for either of them. They know their friends, family, and the police aren't rooting for their happily-ever-after. But they'll prove them all wrong.

Oregon, 2017. Shea Collins is a receptionist, but by night, she runs a true crime website, the Book of Cold Cases-a passion fueled by the attempted abduction she escaped as a child. When she meets Beth by chance, Shea asks her for an interview. To Shea's surprise, Beth says yes. They meet regularly at Beth's mansion, though Shea is never comfortable there. Items move when she's not looking, and she could swear she's seen a small girl outside the window.

Is she making friends with a manipulative murderer, or are there other dangers lurking in the darkness of the Greer house?"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Paranormal fiction.; Novels.; Bloggers; Cold cases (Criminal investigation);
