Walking Through Needles, by Heather LevyRead about the other entries on the list.
When the man who abused her as a teen turns up murdered, Sam should feel relief; instead, she throws herself into the investigation, desperate to exonerate her stepbrother, Eric, who is now the prime suspect. In the process, Sam revisits the darkness that lurked in her family’s home, recalibrating her understanding of the complicated relationships that were nurtured under its roof. Heather Levy’s gripping meditation on violence and desire takes us straight into the heart of one deeply flawed family, and the devastating consequences of long-buried secrets.
