Lacie's Secrets is described as a "riveting thriller" by Publishers Weekly. Reminiscent of classic suspense novels, Big Little Lies meets The Haunting of Hill House. Summary: For the past 18 years, Kate Williams has tried to forget the fateful summer in which her sister Lacie's disappearance ripped their family apart. But when their estranged mother unexpectedly dies and Kate inherits Villa Magda, Kate decides that enough time has passed to return for one last trip. Inexplicable incidents and suspicious visitors begin to torment Kate, threatening to expose her deepest secrets. The closer Kate gets to learning the truth about what happened that summer, the faster she realizes the house might be holding more secrets than she can handle. Set on a remote and gorgeous Maine estate, Lacie's Secrets is an exciting and cinematic psychological thriller with surprising twists that will keep the reader guessing until the very last page.
