She can't speak. She can't walk. And she knows exactly who you are. Nora Bell drives six hundred miles to take a live-in job nobody else will keep: caring for Diane Ashworth, a wealthy widow left mute and paralyzed by the crash that killed her husband. The house has three rules. Don't touch the medication. Don't mention the accident. Stay out of the boathouse. The last caregiver broke all three. Then she drowned in the lake, and the whole town decided it was an accident. Every night at a quarter to nine, Diane's daughter carries a small tray into the library and closes the door. Every night, Nora hears a sound through the baby monitor that is not crying. And on the eleventh night, a woman with no speech traces a single letter into Nora's open palm. It is the first letter of a name Nora has not said out loud in twenty-two years. Because Nora Bell is not who she says she is. She didn't answer an ad. She didn't need the money. For five months she has been watching this house across nine hundred yards of black water, and she came here for one reason only: to find out which of these women killed her mother. But the closer Nora gets to the truth, the less certain she is who the victim actually was. Diane's daughter is hiding something behind a locked cabinet and a five-month medication log written in her own hand. A dead caregiver left a notebook nobody was supposed to find. And the woman in the wheelchair, the one who cannot lift a spoon, keeps looking at Nora like she has been expecting her all along. In a town where everyone is somebody's good neighbor, and where one family's money has been quietly deciding what counts as an accident for twenty-two years, Nora is the only person left who wants the truth more than she wants to be safe. By the time the snow closes the only road out of Loon Hollow, Nora will have to decide how far she's willing to go for an answer that might destroy the one person in that house who never lied to her. THE NIGHT SHE WALKED is a slow-burn psychological thriller with two twists you will not see coming, told by a narrator you should not trust for one second - and a final page that will send you straight back to Chapter One. Perfect for readers of Freida McFadden, Nicola Sanders, and Shari Lapena.
