In the hottest summer on record, Iron Lake reservoir is emptying, revealing secrets that were intended to stay hidden beneath the water.

Best-selling horror writer Chris Lassiter struggles for inspiration and he's close to never writing again. His life has become an endless loop of nothing but empty pages, personal appearances, and a marketing machine that is systematically destroying his muse. In a desperate attempt to force Chris to complete unfinished manuscripts his agent buys a remote cabin. All Chris has to do is hide away and write, but he's lost his muse, and not even he can make stories appear from thin air.

Sawyer Wiseman left town for Chicago, chasing the excitement and potential of being a big city cop, rising the ranks, and making his mark. A case gone horribly wrong draws him back to Lancaster Falls. Working for the tiny police department in the town he'd been running from, digging into cold cases and police corruption, he spends his day's healing, and his nights hoping the nightmares of his last case leave him alone.

Contains mature themes.

I thoroughly enjoyed he book when I read it a while back so when the audio became available on Audible I couldn't resist. Any time I enjoy a book and then find the audio (especially when it is narrated by Sean Crisden) I can't resist.

A thoroughly enjoyable mystery . . . but you have to read the other Lancaster Falls books to get the whole story!!!

Good Book ... Great Audio!

I can be short about this: this book is a very captivating narrative of all the things that lie beneath the everyday surface goings on in a small town. The love story between Chris snd Sawyer sounds a bit bloodless, a bit like "oh yes I have to somehow write that in". The emphasis is definitely on the unravelling crime plot. The book ends on a cliffhanger, and I'm very curious to hear how it all unfolds and if the relationship between Chris and Sawyer develops a bit more.
The narrator is not my favourite. After a while listening his voice becomes a bit of a drone.

A very intriguing thriller with a cliffhanger

I do really like RJ Scott’s books but this one was exceptional. I have not listened to one of her books in a few months and when I did, I was blown away by her brilliance. I can’t wait to continue this story. Buy this book - you will not be disappointed. I always said that On A Rainy Afternoon was my favourite story by her but this one is right up there.

Absolutely loved this book

This is about a writer and a cop coming together in a realistic way. Each is focused on their work and not as much on each other because this is an actual crime novel over a romance novel with the crime almost hidden from the reader behind fun and games. It's enjoyable as an MM crime novel and I'll listen again. I like Sean Crisden's voice for this. It's purposely a cop's voice as brought to us in novels through time. Different inflections, but I think he sounds a lot like Bogart. I added other books to my wish list.

Good, 4.5, lots of focus on MCs and what they do

I got to tell you I was captivated by as soon as I heard the first sentence. I love Sean crisden but I also loved the way rj’s words just made sense being spoken by his voice. I’mm really sad that we don’t know what happened to KC yet.

An amazing story
