Scatter the Stars [Paperback]

A small-town tragedy ripples outward, cracking open lives that seemed untouchable. When a young woman's death pulls together an unlikely cast — a grieving sister, a reckless drifter, a couple whose marriage is quietly unraveling — the investigation becomes something messier than justice. Secrets surface. Allegiances shift. Everyone's got something to hide, and the closer they get to the truth, the more it threatens to destroy them all. This is rural noir done right: slow-burning tension, characters who feel lived-in, and prose that knows when to lean into silence. The kind of book that holds you in its grip without resorting to cheap thrills. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn's small-town dread or anyone who likes their mysteries character-driven and morally murky.
