Sarah Cowen spent twenty-two years as a book editor, learning to notice the small details that reveal when a story isn't what it seems.
Now retired, Sarah has settled into Ashcombe, a quiet lakeside town where her Thursday book club has become one of the few constants in her life.
Then Melissa Hartwell joins the group.
Melissa says little about herself, but she arrives each week carrying a first edition of a novel covered in strange red markings. During one meeting, she asks Sarah to read the book again, but to read it differently than everyone else.
The following morning, Melissa's abandoned car is found near the lake. The book is inside, open to a marked passage, along with a note that reads: THIS IS HOW IT BEGINS.
By the next day, Melissa is dead at the old boathouse.
The official explanation is an accidental fall. Sarah sees something different. The scene has been arranged too carefully, and the details resemble a death described in Melissa's marked book.
When Sarah begins looking more closely, she discovers that the novel may be connected to a tragedy that happened in Ashcombe twenty years earlier. The people around her know more than they are willing to say, and the friendships she has trusted begin to look very different.
Sarah has no experience investigating a death. She has only the habits of a lifetime spent reading closely, asking questions, and noticing what others overlook.
As she works through the marked pages and the secrets surrounding them, Sarah must determine what happened to Melissa—and why someone has gone to such lengths to keep the past hidden.
