Darcy Coates' Where He Can't Find You plunges you into a small town gripped by a truly gruesome mystery: people are disappearing, only to be found dismembered and reassembled in grotesque ways. When Abby's younger sister is taken by the terrifying "Stitcher," Abby finds herself in a desperate, frantic race against the clock. This isn't a story for the faint of heart; it's a relentless, claustrophobic journey that ratchets up the tension with every page. You'll feel the chilling dread of a town harboring dark secrets and the suffocating pressure of a ticking clock. If you’re a reader who craves intense, disturbing suspense with a genuine sense of urgency and a palpable, unsettling atmosphere, this one will keep you up long past your bedtime. It's a dark, twisty ride into the heart of a nightmare.
If Where He Can't Find You left you craving more of that pervasive, unsettling dread and the thrill of uncovering dark secrets, we have some fantastic reads for you.

We’ve also picked books that share that gripping sense of a female protagonist battling against overwhelming odds and unraveling a complex, often horrifying, mystery, whether it's supernatural or deeply psychological.
