Intrigue runs long and strong in this very different style from what I’m learning is a very dynamic and creative author. This book keeps you hanging until you finally come to a precipice! I’m not going to hand you a spoiler, you have to read it. You won’t be disappointed!

“For fans of Shutter Island and Gone Girl, this is a psychological thriller about a grieving alcoholic who shelters a mysterious young woman on his remote island — until her past arrives with guns, lies, and a body count.”

A psychological thriller with literary depth, a damaged protagonist, a morally ambiguous femme fatale, and a closed‑circle island setting.

After losing his wife and daughter in a tragic plane crash, Garrett retreats to a remote Maine island to survive the only way he knows how—routine, isolation, and hard-won sobriety. The sea keeps him grounded. The quiet keeps the memories at bay.

Then a young woman appears at his door.

She’s bruised, hungry, and evasive. She calls herself Jane. Sometimes Rose. Sometimes something else. Garrett tells himself he’s helping her—but when his boat disappears, his bank account is drained, and a man turns up buried behind his cottage, he realizes the island isn’t protecting him anymore.

As violence escalates and the sheriff begins to circle, Garrett’s grip on reality fractures. Memories blur. Names shift. Bodies move. And the woman at the center of it all keeps changing—her face, her eyes, her story—until Garrett can no longer tell whether he’s being manipulated, haunted, or willingly erased.

Set against the stark beauty of the Maine coast, Island Girl is a dark, atmospheric psychological thriller about grief, addiction, identity, and the seductive pull of surrender. A haunting, morally complex novel for readers who like their suspense intimate, unsettling, and unforgettable.“The author’s skillful writing style seamlessly connects readers with the emotions and experiences of the characters.” – Online Book Club
