The Red Knot
ByPublisher Description
Gripping, atmospheric, and off-putting, The Red Knot is the perfect blend of occult mystery and small-town horror.
On a tiny, isolated island off the southern Alaskan coast, three girls have vanished without a trace, and Audra’s close friend—the island’s therapist—has been found murdered. A recent storm has severed all communication with the outside world, leaving Audra, the town's lead detective, trapped and at the head of a very personal case.
Her lead suspect, Valorie, the daughter of a notorious cult leader and the town's outcast, was discovered blood-covered and dazed at the crime scene. Valorie’s memory is a gaping void, a dark well hiding traumatic secrets, including the truth about the teenage kidnappings that haunt the island.
As Audra digs deeper into the town's twisted history, it becomes clear other murders on the island, dating back decades, might be connected. The clock is ticking for the missing girls, and every clue leads Audra to question even those she's known her whole life.
Valorie must confront the horrors of her past while Audra’s investigation becomes a descent into madness. On this cursed island, the line between neighbor and nightmare blurs, revealing that true horror often wears a familiar face.

3.5
“I loved this book. Sadly, I had to return this book to the library before finishing it, so I had to place a hold on it and wait to be able to finish it (which sent me into a reading slump for a while), but I’m so glad I was finally able to finish it! It went to an unexpected place, and had some twists I didn’t anticipate, which is always fun as an avid horror reader who can often see the plot twist a mile away. Overall, it was a satisfying read, particularly if you enjoy a good cult story. Definitely check content warnings before reading, though, as it touches on many sensitive topics.”“It was a great book with even a bit of of the supernatural in it. I loved it but I wish it tied up the ends better.”
