A gripping, emotional suspense about a missing woman, a hidden child, and the devastating secrets we keep to protect one another, perfect for readers of The God of the Woods or Wild Dark Shore
On a fall night in 1951, Lily Ambrose disappeared, leaving behind only a pair of shoes, a family Bible, and questions no one wants to answer. Years later, when her body is fifinally recovered from the lake, the town settles on a convenient version of the truth.
But some stories refuse to stay buried.
Told through an unforgettable cast of voices—including two sisters bound by circumstance, a midwife who knows the weight of secrets all too well, and the children who accidentally stumble upon truths they were never meant to know—The Sins of Good People unfolds as a slow-burn mystery about what really happened to Lily . . . and who’s been keeping it quiet.
Suspenseful, compassionate, and deeply human, The Sins of Good People is a riveting story of innocence and complicity, childhood and power, and the dangerous comfort of believing that only bad people do bad things.
