Synopsis

The road into Ketchers Harbor, Maine, goes under twice a day. Nora Hale makes the crossing with eleven minutes to spare, and she cannot afford to lose this job.

At her last position she noticed a nephew taking four thousand dollars a month out of his aunt's account, and she said so. She came away with no reference and a reputation. Now Diana Whitfield, sixty-one and widowed since March, has hired her to run a half-renovated house that is supposed to open as an inn and is running out of money. Nora means to keep the accounts, keep the job and keep her head down.

But the woman who had the job before her disappeared in April. Ivy Sorensen's car was found at the turnout on the causeway, and within weeks the investigation stopped. Her phone charger is still plugged in behind the nightstand in Nora's room. Her ledger ends in the middle of an entry. Her staff file is labeled, in its place, and empty.

Between Nora's chapters come Ivy's, told from the months before she disappeared, and those of Diana's sixteen-year-old daughter, Sylvie.

The town has decided what happened to Ivy, and the Whitfields would like it to stay decided. Nora has been punished once already for seeing what she wasn't meant to see. This time, she has been told not to look.
