A hidden past returns to Lottie Jones

Decades after adopting a new identity and settling into small-town routines, Lottie Jones faces questions about a string of unsolved cases. Investigative journalist Plum Dixon’s arrival puts her carefully kept history in view, and the danger grows when another visitor appears. The setup pairs the familiar rhythms of church bingo and neighborhood gossip with the practical problem of concealing a violent past. Its central tension rests on how long Lottie can keep her former life from catching up with her—and what she is prepared to do to protect the present she has built.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in psychological suspense centered on a concealed criminal past.
  • Readers drawn to stories featuring an investigative journalist probing unsolved cases.
  • Those looking for a thriller set amid small-town routines and social gossip.

Book overview

A retired serial killer's quiet life is upended by an unexpected visitor. To protect her secret, there's only one option left--what's another murder? From bestselling author Samantha Downing.

Lottie Jones thought her crimes were behind her.

Decades earlier, she changed her identity and tucked herself away in a small town. Her most exciting nights are the weekly bingo games at the local church and gossiping with her friends.

When investigative journalist Plum Dixon shows up on her doorstep asking questions about Lottie's past and specifically her involvement with numerous unsolved cases, well, Lottie just can't have that.

But getting away with murder is hard enough when you're young. And when Lottie receives another annoying knock on the door, she realizes this crime might just be the death of her. . . .
