From a hit true crime podcaster turned novelist, a woman’s unsettling past creeps back into her consciousness as she returns to her hometown and begins to suspect the locals are hiding a terrible secret swirling around her mother's recent death.

When Imogen Bly's mother suddenly passes away, she leaves her Seattle apartment and returns to Lake Blair—the picturesque Washington town where she grew up. After Imogen and her twin sister Amelia arrive, ready to pack up their mother's home, strange things begin to happen, reminding Imogen of her long held feelings of dread surrounding her hometown.

Imogen enlists the help of her first crush, next-door neighbor Rory, to uncover the truth about her mother's death and the traumatic event she experienced as a child. But is the boy who got away really the man with something to hide? Or is the suspicious neighbor in the house across the lake behind it all?

When Imogen’s own family’s tragedies lead her to question the disappearance of a local young woman the previous year, her persistent unease becomes terrifyingly real and suddenly nowhere feels safe …

Daphne Woolsoncroft, a Los Angeles native, is the host and producer of the hit true crime podcast Going West. She previously lived in Oregon with her husband, where she found inspiration in the lush, often gloomy landscapes of Portland and the wider Pacific Northwest for her thrillers, including her debut novel, Night Watcher. When she isn’t researching crime stories or writing, she can be found at the movie theater or reading on the couch with her English bulldog, Dewey.

  • "Daphne Woolsoncroft has cemented her place among today's top thriller writers. The Season of Sinking proves it."
    Jennifer van der Kleut, author of The Better Mother
  • “Eerie, tense, and utterly hypnotic. Woolsoncroft weaves a spine-tingling tale of sisterhood, obsession, and the courage it takes to face the truths lurking just beneath the surface.”
    Kelsey Cox, USA Today bestselling author of Party of Liars
  • "Consider me wrecked—Daphne Woolsoncroft has done it again. Haunting, propulsive, and dripping with atmosphere, The Season of Sinking is a masterclass in tension. Fans of family secrets and buried hometown mysteries will devour this. It’s impossible to put down and even harder to shake."
    Penny Zang, author of Doll Parts
