Scare the Light Away — Vicki Delany

Secrets from the past…

For thirty years Rebecca McKenzie has tried to forget her life in Hope River, the isolated rural town where she was raised. But when she travels home to attend her mother's funeral, she has to face her estranged family…and she's shocked at how much has changed. Her older brother, Jimmy, seems like a mature, thoughtful man rather than the bully she remembers, and her father has gone from being distant to alarmingly forgetful.

Now Rebecca's "quiet" hometown is making national headlines with the disappearance of a teenager. In the eyes of some angry locals, Jimmy's reputation makes him the prime suspect, but his new wife is certain he's innocent. Rebecca sets out to uncover the truth, even if it means bringing to light the kinds of secrets that people will do anything to keep buried. Before long, a killer triggers a shattering endgame, and Rebecca will have to make a choice between trust and fear, love and lies.
