THE DEAD APPROACH OF AUTUMN
Autumn Monroe gained infamy when she found herself the only survivor of a local family massacre. Trying to pull herself together, she moves into a large house owned by her college roommate’s uncle. She lives there with three others, causing varying degrees of strife. Autumn thinks if she just keeps to herself, she’ll be okay. But when her roommates all disappear on the same day, she again finds herself at the forefront of an investigation.
“As they walk me to the interrogation room, I unhinge, rip open, am devoured. I didn’t know this house would turn me into the cookie jar my mother always swatted me away from. Once again, everyone but me eats. ”
In the interrogation room, Autumn uses what she learned from her family’s case, overanalyzing every breath to come off as innocent. However, while she can’t seem to forget her family’s death, the night her roommates disappeared is hazed in a thick fog. But one thing is clear: that night she was absolutely furious.
Unsure in her memory and herself, Autumn knows she needs to find her roommates before the police do. Flung out of her comfort zone, unimaginable truths emerge, leaving Autumn wondering if solving the case will be her salvation or surrender.
Alternating between the past and the present, THE DEAD APPROACH OF AUTUMN is a thriller perfect for fans of Dark Places by Gillian Flynn and The Girls are All so Nice Here by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn.
