Ashes and Echoes

By Jo-Anne Van Gelder

Three friends. One has vanished. A note that says: I know what you did.

Mara hasn't seen Elise in years-until a handwritten invitation lures her back to the crumbling estate they swore they'd never return to.
But Elise isn't there. Her handbag is. So is the daisy. And a note waiting in the dark.
Now Mara and Jodie are trapped. No cars. No signal. No escape. Every locked door drags them closer to the secrets they thought were buried-until they realise Elise didn't just disappear.
She set a trap.
And the truth is waiting.

Perfect for fans of Alice Feeney, Sarah Alderson, Ruth Ware, and Louise Jensen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mandy M (NetGalley)
"Ashes and Echoes is a dark, twisted, hauntingly unsettling story that stays with you long after you finish it... A hauntingly beautiful portrayal of true friendship, and what secrets we hold dear."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kathryn M (NetGalley)
"A strong psychological thriller... The characters were everything I wanted - complex, flawed, and real."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Liz (Goodreads)
"Creepy, atmospheric, and absolutely addictive... I loved how the house itself felt like a character - claustrophobic, haunting, and filled with echoes of things left unsaid."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Reader (BookSirens)
"Not your typical thriller - something darker, quieter, and far more unsettling... If you like thrillers that are atmospheric, character-driven, and deeply psychological - this is one you won't want to miss."
