A Small Town

IS FREYA A KILLER LIKE HER DADDY?

Denora Dunne has lived with that fear since her daughter first began showing the signs. Now Freya is coming home in the wake of a suspicious death at a Norse heritage site in Newfoundland, and Denora lies awake, certain her daughter did it.

Denora has troubles of her own. She has refused to target a man the neighbours want gone, and that puts her on the wrong side of Nicole, the self-appointed guardian of Chestnut Road. When Freya arrives, Nicole sees leverage—and Denora fears more than what her daughter has done. She fears what Freya will do to protect her.

On Chestnut Road, no one minds their own business. Doorbell cameras catch everything, gossip flows through the Small Town app, and Nicole collects it all. A forestry worker haunted by an old neighbourhood murder is under Nicole’s thumb, until he falls under Freya’s spell. A grieving ex-homicide detective is convinced Newfoundland was no accident and has followed Freya back to Toronto. And from his prison cell, Freya’s father is reaching out, certain only he can guide the impulses they share.
