Summary

A novel about secrets and revenge by the number one Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Missing Sister. It’s only by confronting who she was then that she can understand who she is now.

I was born in captivity...

Two decades ago Marissa Mo escaped a basement prison - the only home she’d ever known. At twenty-seven, Marissa’s moved beyond the trauma and is working under a new name as a freelance photographer. But when she accepts a job covering a string of macabre murders in Portland, it’s impossible for Marissa not to remember.

Everything is eerily familiar. The same underground lairs. Sad trinkets and toys left behind, identical to those Marissa had as a child. And then there is the note meant just for her that freezes Marissa’s blood: See you soon, Missy.

To determine the killer’s next move, Marissa must retrieve her long-forgotten memories and return to a past she’s hidden away. But she won’t be facing her fears alone. Someone is waiting for her in the dark.

Critic reviews

“...Kate Rudd’s narration feels a bit understated, but not emotionally lacking. Telling the story from Claire’s first-person perspective, Rudd remains detached to some extent, as one who has experienced a well-publicized tragedy and the fame that results from it. Her range of unique voices include children, men, and women of various ages, and her use of them is subtle but effective and makes it easy to distinguish between characters.” (Booklist)

“A deep, deep dive into unspeakable memories and their unimaginably shocking legacy.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

“The suspenseful plot is matched by the convincing portrayal of the vulnerable Claire, who just wants to lead a normal life. Marr is a writer to watch.” (Publishers Weekly)

Chilling

There is almost nothing better than stumbling across a book and it being really good. This is what I did with Lies We Bury by Elle Marr.

The horrendous story of how Marissa Mo escaped a dungeon basement where her father kept her locked up for years. 20 years on, her father is to be released from prison and horrendous murders start happening in front of her. What is going on?

I loved the shift between past and present all told through her own perspective.

Would definitely recommend.
