Still Mine – Amy Stuart

Clare O’Dey is on the run from her past, including a dangerous marriage she has fled. Needing money and a reason to keep moving, she accepts an unusual job from a mysterious man named Malcolm: she must go to the remote mining town of Blackmore and find out what happened to Shayna Fowles, a young woman who has disappeared.

Still Mine, the debut novel by Canadian author Amy Stuart, follows Clare as she arrives in Blackmore, a struggling town where the mine has closed, drugs have taken hold and many residents have secrets they would rather keep hidden. Posing as a photographer working on a project, Clare begins asking questions about Shayna. Everyone seems to have a theory about her disappearance, but no one wants to tell the whole truth, including Shayna’s family, her husband and the people who knew her best.

As Clare digs deeper, she discovers uncomfortable parallels between Shayna’s life and her own, and her investigation forces her to confront the painful memories she has been running from. At the same time, she begins to question who Malcolm really is and why he wants Shayna found, and she realizes that she may be putting herself in danger.

Stuart builds suspense steadily while exploring addiction, abuse, grief and the ties that bind people to places and to each other.

Atmospheric and gripping, Still Mine is the first book in a series featuring Clare O’Dey and is a compelling read for fans of psychological suspense. It contains themes of domestic abuse, addiction and violence.
