Reflections

The second novel in the Lexingfield series.

In Still Water, Jack Holloway raced against time to find a killer. In Reflections, he has to live with what he found.

The investigation is over. The library on the corner of Main and Church is closed. The hand-lettered sign in the window says what the town already knows. What Lexingfield doesn't know yet is how to carry what comes after.

Reflections is told through the people left behind. A father who drives to the hardware store because the list is the only thing that gets him out of bed. A woman who bakes biscuits every Thursday because her hands need something to do. A wife who spent three years noticing something she could never quite name. A sheriff who counts to sixty at every death scene and has never asked himself why.

And woven between them, the story of how it all began. How a town's trust was built, used, and returned to it in pieces.

Each of them must now confront an impossible question: what do you do when the person who helped you survive your worst year is the reason you needed surviving?

Still Water asked who. Reflections asks what it costs to know.

A novel about grief, attention, and the terrifying distance between being known and being seen.
