Summary
On the anniversary of a savage mass murder, a survivor returns to the scene of the crime—and all its buried secrets—in a twisting novel of suspense.
Nearly ten years ago, five Ohio university students were murdered in an off-campus Victorian home. The media dubbed it the Midnight House Massacre. Ever since, survivor and novelist Margot Davis has wanted to forget it, and never again utter the killer’s name. Until she’s compelled to write her side of the story. To do that, she’s returning to Midnight House.
It’ll be a chance for Margot to reconnect with other survivors, heal the trauma, and dispel the ugly conspiracy theories of obsessed true crime fanatics. But when news of Margot’s book gets out, she receives a threatening note that demands she stop lying. Or else. It chills Margot’s blood. Because she hasn’t been telling the whole truth.
As the threats continue, each more sinister than the last, a journalist comes to Margot with new suspicions about that brutal October night. Now, to save her own life, Margot must reveal her well-guarded secrets—ones that, for good reason, she’s been too terrified to share.
Critic reviews
“Return to Midnight deftly layers atmospheric creepiness with sinister betrayal in this page-turning debut where past and present collide. Emma Dues will have you side-eyeing everyone, trusting no one, and desperately seeking answers—this is an author to watch!” —Paula Gleeson, author of Original Twin
“Big horror vibes, buckets of red herrings, and storylines that weave together in a satisfying series of twists to the very end. Dues captures the competitive complication of female friendships as well as the sting of first love, with a plot crazy enough to mirror the all-encompassing emotions of being in your twenties. This is the campus thriller I didn’t know I was looking for but am so glad I found.” —Erin Flanagan, Edgar Award–winning author of Come with Me
