From Nicole Baart, the bestselling author of Everything We Didn’t Say, comes a twisty, atmospheric novel about a newlywed whose husband disappears, leaving her isolated in Washington State’s North Cascades.
“In every world, I’d find you.”
Sadie Sheridan’s new husband Felix, a professor of planetary sciences, has vowed to never leave her. But when Felix doesn’t return from a work trip, Sadie is stranded at Hemlock House, the remote mountain homestead where her husband grew up. Doubt creeps into Sadie’s heart. Then panic. Where is he?
Scared and alone in a place that feels haunted, Sadie struggles to make sense of what her missing husband left behind. But when she catches strangers lurking around the property, Hemlock House instantly becomes both a sanctuary and a prison. Navigating threats from outside and in, Sadie is forced to confront shocking secrets that leave her questioning whether she really knows Felix at all. As a powerful storm bears down, she must decide: is she fighting only for her own survival now—or for the man who promised her the stars?
Filled with dark menace and the danger of the wild, Where He Left Me is at once heartfelt and heart-pounding, from an author who “writes with a poet’s eye for language and a storyteller’s gift for suspense” (William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author).
“The foggy and menacing Pacific Northwest setting generates just as much tension as Baart’s shrewdly coiled plot, and she paints each of her central characters with an exceptionally fine brush. The result is an unsettling portrait of isolation and anxiety that will get under the reader’s skin.” —Publishers Weekly
“Baart is at her finest in this heart-racing, cold-plunge of a novel that earns its place among the top thrillers of the year! With a plot as winding as a mountain road, and prose that sweeps you around every curve, Where He Left Me pulls back the curtain on the haunting beauty of the Cascades, and the deadly secrets they hold.” –Sarah Crouch, USA TODAY bestselling author of Middletide
“A gripping and emotionally charged story! When I picked up Where He Left Me, I was craving a sweeping, suspense-filled read—and Nicole Baart more than delivered. This novel kept me hooked to the very last page while confronting one of the most chilling questions we face: How well do we really know the people we love?” –Brenda Novak, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Strangers
“Nicole Baart has crafted a taut, masterfully written thriller, complete with a mysterious house, a secretive husband, and a devastating snowstorm. The tension is high and the stakes are higher in this atmospheric tale of love, abandonment, and the lengths we’ll go to protect the people we love.” –Kimi Cunningham Grant, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Nature of Disappearing
