Maddie and Ian’s love story began with a chance encounter at a party overseas. Now almost two decades later, married with a beautiful son, Charlie, they are living the perfect suburban life in Middle America. But when a camping accident leaves Maddie badly scarred, she begins attending writing therapy, where she gradually reveals her fears about Ian’s PTSD and her concerns for the safety of their young son. Sixteen years of love and fear, adventure and suspicion culminate in The Day of the Killing, when a frantic 911 call summons the police to the scene of a shocking crime.

A Bit Of My Week In Reading
I just started reading a German translated psychological thriller, The Stranger by Melanie Raabe, and a Canadian procedural, The Birds That Stay by Ann Lambert.
And my mystery break is Elizabeth Acevedo’s upcoming With the Fire on High because I would buy and read every word on a cereal boxes if that’s what she wrote.
