Why It's Your Next Read

  • Sharp-tongued heroine piecing together her amnesia
  • Podcast framing device amps up tension
  • Small-town secrets unravel with wicked humor
  • Romantic sparks ignite amid murder investigation

If you devoured the way Eve Dallas commands a crime scene with fierce intelligence and zero apologies, you need Lucy Chase—a woman who wakes up with blood on her hands and a five-year gap in her memory. Like Robb's signature blend of adrenaline-spiked investigation and emotional vulnerability, this propulsive thriller pairs razor-sharp wit with a heroine who refuses to break, even when her own town wants her to stay the prime suspect.

Lucy Chase wakes up with blood on her hands and zero apologies to make.

The same addictive pacing that kept you turning pages through Encore in Death's glitzy murder unfolds here with podcast-fueled twists, steamy undertones, and an ensemble cast that deepens every reveal. Justice has never felt this satisfying—or this wickedly clever.

What Readers Are Saying

"Compulsively readable...the podcast element was well done, and a grandmother I adored. I absolutely had to know whodunnit so I never once contemplated setting this aside." Michelle, Goodreads
"My hands and eyes were glued to the pages as this brilliant, twisty dark comedy-meets-murder mystery captured my entire nerdy gray cells... The smart, sarcastic tone, perfect characterization of the heroine, and portrayal of flawed, biased townies... made me adore this book. It deserves a well-deserved five stars..." Nilufer Ozmekik, Goodreads
"Lucy Chase, our charmingly sarcastic protagonist...had me chuckling from start to finish with her dark humour. Trust me, you'll want to meet her." Esta, Goodreads
