The Girl Upstairs

For fans of Riley Sager and Ashley Winstead, a slow-burn psychological thriller about a woman who becomes fixated on discovering the sinister past of her new fixer-upper house in Maine.

Gwen McDaniel used to be a lot of things. A good wife, a good friend, and a homicide detective with the Baltimore PD. She married a successful doctor and was envied by all. Until everything crashed down around her. Now, she’s picking up the pieces of her brokenness in idyllic Cold Harbor, Maine—a place she used to vacation as a small child when she felt safe and could remember her life vividly before the memory lapses. As she begins work on the fixer-upper she and her husband purchased at a steal, she uncovers a cryptic and hair-raising message carved into the attic floor. Her husband warns her not to fixate on it. Fixating almost destroyed them once before. But something sinister transpired in this house and people in the town are hiding the truth. Gwen can’t let this go and when her digging leads to a decades-old missing girl, some of her own lost memories surface forcing her to a crossroads: pretend a girl was never upstairs in the attic or expose the truth at a deadly cost.
