One girl murdered...another one missing...and a medical examiner desperate to uncover the truth in When I'm Dead, the latest Black Harbor mystery by acclaimed author Hannah Morrissey.

On a bone-chilling October night, Medical Examiner Rowan Winthorp investigates the death of her daughter’s best friend. Hours later, the tragedy hits even closer to home when she makes a devastating discovery—her daughter, Chloe, is gone. But, not without a trace.

A morbid mosaic of clues forces Rowan and her husband to question how deeply they really knew their daughter. As they work closely to peel back the layers of this case, they begin to unearth disturbing details about Chloe and her secret transgressions…details that threaten to tear them apart.

Amidst the noise of navigating her newfound grief and reconciling the sins of her past, an undeniable fact rings true for Rowan: karma has finally come to collect.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

One of the best psychological thrillers I’ve read. Definitely my favorite book of the year.

Gripping from the first paragraph to the last!

We all wish to leave that small town behind but what happens when you can’t? Parents are successful in their fields which is typical small town parents. But what happens to the kids is not small town typical.

Small town dream of leaving

The storyline, the thriller part of the book. The way the author was detailed with how the scenes were as if I created a movie in my head. It took a shock in the end.

Thriller/gore

Narration was difficult to understand unless it was blasting, like the narrator mumbles. The story was okay but the reaction of the parents and teenagers to a dead body is ridiculous….she trips over a body and her mom sends her to work instead of staying home! Really…who does that! Callous neighbors and town. Weird . Meh …listen at your own risk

Hard to hear and understand

I was so excited to get in my car every day to listen to this book. The storyline kept me hooked until the end. I have listened to all 3 of her books and hope she has another in the works!

Great story! I love all of her books!

Great book. Kept you guessing and wanting to keep reading until the end to find out what happened. Rowan’s part though was really hard to understand even with the volume all the way up.

Good story

This was a great story and I stayed interested in it but it’s almost impossible to hear Rowan’s part in it

Very hard to hear

I could not put this book down!! Can I say, this was such a gripping read, I was hooked from the start.

One evening Rowan, a medical examiner, and her husband Axel, a homicide detective, get a phone call that pulls them away from their daughters play to a gruesome murder scene. Leaving a distraught daughter behind who utters the words, "You will love me more when I'm dead." Arriving on the scene they discover the body of their daughter's best friend, and once they arrive home realize their daughter has gone missing. As they search for their missing daughter more secrets, lies, and deaths are revealed. It is a race against the clock to figure out who is responsible for killing young girls. Are they connected? Is Chloe still alive? Can they save her in time? Will their marriage survive this trauma?

When I picked this book as my BOTM, I had no idea that it was part of a series, luckily that didn't deter the story for me at all, actually it makes me want to go buy the previous two books and give them a read! I loved the suspense, the tensions, all the secrets and lies, the unique plot, the overall dreary atmosphere of the book. I was also a HUGE fan of the multiple perspectives we got in this book. I was guessing left and right for who the murderer could be...



***Spoilers Below ****

Okay, I was guessing left and right...at one point I even was thinking Axel did it. However, when Eddie talked to Rowan in the supermarket about his sisters favorite candy being the same as Chloe's....I knew. Honestly, such great pacing and really haunting murders. I definitely want to read Hannah Morrissey's other books!!

I could understand Rowan's voice but it was definitely a challenge. The story was good but not in my top 10.

Kept you guessing
