A gripping mystery for fans of Angie Kim and Listen for the Lie following three characters investigating the death of a young girl years before- the brother, the best friend, and the detective searching for connections as a string of new murders upend the community, forcing them all to question what pasts should remain buried. A gripping mystery perfect for fans of Amy Tintera following one man's investigation into the death of his sister years earlier, forcing him to confront old faces, a strong-willed detective, and a string of new murders in his remote small town. Welcome to Meander, where truths are best left buried. Gracen Ridpath has a secret. As the host of a successful YouTube channel for stay-at-home-dads, Gracen is known for his handy tips and trademark self-deprecating humor. But off camera, he struggles with the aftereffects of a tragedy that shaped him and everyone else in his hometown of Meander- the death of his eleven-year-old sister, Douggy. When Gracen mentions his sister's long-ago death for the first time on his channel, he taps a vein of interest he hadn't known existed. Soon enough, he finds himself discussing a theory he's kept quiet for years- that Douggy chose to die. And he's finally figured out why . . . and who is to blame. At first, Gracen is grateful for the jump in views, until his shift in content brings Quinn, Douggy's childhood best friend, back to Meander looking for answers. And when people start dying around them and detectives start asking questions, Gracen and Quinn find themselves at the center of an investigation that will prove to have consequences deadlier than they ever could've imagined.
