When Emily Page and her husband move from Manhattan to the wealthy enclave of Clairmont, Texas, she hopes she can finally escape her haunted past and outrun the nameless stalker who has been taunting her for years. Pregnant with her first child, Emily just wants to start over. But as she is drawn into a nest of secretive Texas women and into the unnerving company of their queen, Caroline Warwick, Emily finds that acceptance is a very dangerous game. It isn't long before Caroline mysteriously disappears and Emily is facing a rash of anonymous threats. Are they linked to the missing Caroline? Or to Emily's terrifying encounter in college, years earlier? As the dark truth about Caroline emerges, Emily realizes that some secrets are impossible to hide and that whoever came for Caroline is now coming for her.

OK. This is the second book I read by Heaberlin and I LOVED my first - the Black Eyed Susans. This one feels a little repetetive in a way. Same type of cast of nice, alive people, same sudden ending - not really an anti-climax but a bit funny. I would read another book by Heaberlin because I like the atmosphere and the lack of hard core gruesomeness, which I am grateful for. I will be curious to see if she handles the ending differently next book ;-)
