Michelle Khonsari’s The Ravencrest Murders draws readers into a quiet town where nothing stays buried for long—where a missed produce pickup is the most exciting call into a two-person sheriff’s office, the town secretary handles dispatch, and nearly everyone has some connection to the victims. As Scarlett Moyer follows a trail of bodies tied to the abandoned Ravencrest Asylum, each lead opens into something more complicated than it first appears. Haunted by her own past, Scarlett struggles to separate her instincts as a detective from a history of trusting the wrong people, adding a personal edge to an already tightening investigation.
