You’ll Be Sorry
You’ll Be Sorry is a standalone psychological thriller by Lisa Gardner, the author of the Detective D.D. Warren series. Newlyweds Raquel and Theo Collins move to the small New Hampshire town of Shereford after a tragedy made them estranged from each other. Their new home is the former Dixon family lodge, which was left empty since both parents and their four children vanished thirty years earlier. The only clue they left behind back then was a trail of bloody footprints.
The old case comes back to life when a stray dog finds a skeleton on the property. Newly appointed police chief Amanda Grady has to find out whether the remains are connected to the missing family, while Raquel and Theo learn that some of their new neighbors would rather leave the whole Dixon mystery alone.
