When twelve-year-old Mackenzie Price opened the kitchen door, her world shattered. Her father lay face down in a pool of blood, and her mother’s desperate grip kept her from rushing to his side. That night left Mackenzie scarred—and burdened with a terrible secret she could never forget.
Twenty years later, Mackenzie is back in her hometown of Lakemore, now a detective determined to bring justice to a place where the woods conceal decades of dark crimes.
When eighteen-year-old Abigail vanishes, Mack is certain the case is tied to the disappearance of Erica Perez a year earlier. Everyone else dismisses Abigail as a runaway—but Mack knows better. The girls were friends, and when Mack uncovers Abigail’s diary, she realizes the teenager may have known the truth about Erica’s fate… and paid the price.
Then a body is found in the woods. With time running out, Mack must fight to keep Abigail’s case alive, even as she unearths secrets that stretch back generations. But Mack also knows some secrets cut too close to her own past—and exposing them could destroy everything.
The first book in the Detective Mackenzie Price series, Our Daughter’s Bones is a chilling, addictive crime thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Angela Marsons, and Karin Slaughter.
