Description

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.

Critical Reviews

"WHO KNEW THE RIDPATH GIRL is as tender as it is tense and finishes with a twist Johns wields like a weapon. My obsession grew with every page. I couldn't finish fast enough!" -- Marlee Bush, author of Whispers of Dead Girls

"Stacy Johns delivers an atmospheric, chilling mystery, populated with complex, guilt-ridden characters, that explores how easily false perception can morph into a deadly reality." -- Daniel G. Miller, bestselling author of The Orphanage by the Lake
