We Are All the Same in the Dark: A Novel by Julia Heaberlin


  We Are All the Same in the Dark: A Novel by Julia Heaberlin. Ballantine Books, 2020. Adult fiction. Mystery. Thriller.

When Heaberlin writes of Texas, she knows her people and places. No one puts together the details of life and death in the Lone Star State better. In this dark and twisty mystery, young policewoman Odette Tucker has never really recovered from losing her best friend Trumanell Branson ten years ago. Equally hard to deal with is the loss of Odette's leg. Now, with a world class prothesis, she is strong and brave even when a new documentary opens all the old wounds for their community. But, when Trumanell's brother and Odette's maybe lost love finds a teen with only one eye, Odette is challenged to help her. Was Wyatt involved in Trumanell's disappearance after all? Who was? Who is this girl? How can life in the small town ever be the same again?
