You Always Come Back

When July Weaver left her small Georgia hometown, she vowed never to return. Not that she had much to go back to, after her father went to prison for the serial killings of several local girls, starting with her younger sister. Ten years later, July becomes a successful songwriter in Nashville, but a string of urgent calls from her brother forces her to face the past and return to Pacific Lake. If she hoped to find closure, she gets anything but; instead, she unearths a series of secrets that turn her world upside down. Smith makes a stunning debut with this cold-case psychological thriller full of tension and shocking twists. Dual timelines take listeners back and forth between the aftermath of the initial murders and July’s present-day revelations. Narrator Andi Arndt’s sedate delivery slowly builds the suspense until everything erupts in an electrifying, engaging conclusion.
