A disappearance unsettles a Rhode Island beach community

Set in Bonnet Shores in July 1979, the novel builds its mystery around the disappearance of twelve-year-old Christina Grove. Her older sister Maddie carries guilt over the circumstances of Christina’s last night, while local teenager Cricket Kelly pursues her own investigation, shaped in part by past trauma. The search draws in residents from across the community, including beach-club regulars and working-class neighbors. The story’s central question—whether danger comes from an outsider or someone among them—sits alongside the strain the disappearance places on family and neighbors. Its two young investigators offer distinct perspectives on a case that implicates the whole town.
