Eden Close [Paperback] Shreve, Anita

Andrew returns to his childhood home after his mother's death and finds Eden Close, the girl next door who was shot and blinded in a violent incident seventeen years ago, still living in the house where it happened. What began as neighbourly concern becomes an excavation of memory — the lazy summers they shared as teenagers, the night everything shattered, and the secrets that small-town silence buries. Shreve writes with restrained intensity about trauma, desire, and the way the past can ambush you when you least expect it. This is quiet suspense: no car chases, just the slow reveal of what really happened that night, and whether two damaged people can salvage something from the wreckage. For readers who like their domestic drama laced with unease and their small-town settings claustrophobic.
