A tale that creeps under your skin, worms its way into your thoughts, and spins to an all consuming end. I’ve devoured Mary Kubica’s other novels, and personally, this is my favourite so far. Quinn and Alex tell their own tales, Quinn’s room mate Esther has unexpectedly disappeared, while Alex becomes a tad obsessed with a girl who turns up in his small lakeside town. There is a slow intensity to the writing, it isn't immediately obvious as to what is happening and I found my thoughts scrabbling for purchase and understanding. Quinn and Alex are beautifully written, from the Sunday when the tale begins, through to the Thursday when it ends, I lived their life alongside them, experiencing every moment, getting to know their intimate thoughts and feelings. ‘Don’t You Cry’ is a fabulous slow burner of a read, with an undertone of suspense that steadily increases until it comes crashing down around you. ~ Liz Robinson
An electrifying tale of deceit and obsession from New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl Mary Kubica
In downtown Chicago, Esther Vaughan disappears from her apartment without a trace. A haunting letter addressed to My Dearest is found among her possessions, leaving her roommate Quinn Collins to question how well she really knew her friend. Meanwhile, in a small town an hour outside Chicago, a mysterious woman appears in the quiet coffee shop where eighteen-year-old Alex Gallo works as a dishwasher. He is immediately drawn to her, but what starts as an innocent crush quickly spirals into something far more sinister.
As Quinn searches for answers about Esther, and Alex is drawn further under the stranger's spell, master of suspense Mary Kubica takes readers on a taut and twisted thrill ride that builds to a stunning conclusion and shows that no matter how fast and far we run, the past always catches up with us.
