In 1997, Eve Foster's daughter, Kelsey, runs away to New Mexico and vanishes without a trace. Eve is convinced that she's the victim of a serial killer who's been hunting women in the region, but Kelsey's body is never found. Years later, Eve dies, leaving everything to her adopted twin daughters. The majority of the wealthy estate in Vermont goes to Lisa, the "good daughter," while Connie inherits only a small stipend and a property in New Mexico. Connie, often the target of Eve's cruelty, suspects this was another of her mother's vindictive games. Connie arrives in New Mexico to find a small, dilapidated red house in the desert and the home's mysterious caretaker, Jet Montgomery, living in a shack on the property. She learns there's been a string of women murdered in the area—murders that no one will talk about. Before Connie can get to the truth, her mother's sadistic mind games come creeping back from the grave, and now the danger becomes all too real. With a serial killer on the loose and a trove of deadly secrets coming to the surface, Connie is in a desperate race to save herself and what little is left of her shattered family.

      In this uneven serial killer thriller from Andersson (the Greenhouse mysteries as Wendy Tyson), the drowning death of Eve Foster during her routine morning swim in Lake Champlain reunites the twins she adopted, Lisa and Connie, at Eve’s Vermont home for the reading of her unusual will. Lisa is to get $30 million and the Vermont property, while Connie, who’s been homeless and struggling to survive in New York City, will receive $5,000 a year and a home in New Mexico. The will is bulletproof; should Lisa attempt to help her sibling more, both would lose everything. At Connie’s new home, she finds an odd caretaker in residence, whom she can’t fire, and a mystery. Six women were “raped, tortured, mutilated, and dumped” over a five-year period during the 1990s, and the person or persons responsible may have just resumed their killing spree. Flashbacks parcel out details of Eve’s life back then, as Connie tries to solve the whodunit in the book’s present. The tantalizing opening sections compensate only in part for closing surprises that don’t feel earned, and Connie’s character fails to achieve the complexity readers are led to expect. Hopefully, Andersson will do better next time. Agent: Fran Black, Literary Counsel.
