Books like Nowhere to hide by Carlene Thompson

When Marissa Gray, a twenty‑one‑year‑old engaged to her best friend’s brother, witnesses the suspicious death of Gretchen in Aurora Falls, she is convinced it is murder. A conflicting witness report forces the case into the hands of the local police, and Gretchen’s death is ruled an accident. The breakup with Eric Montgomery—now the town’s chief of police—leaves Marissa to start anew in Chicago. Four and a half years later, now a successful journalist, Marissa returns to Aurora Falls to work for the local gazette. A hooded assailant nearly kills her on a snowy road, and the incident revives old wounds. She recounts the attack to the people who know her, but they doubt her story until a string of chilling deaths begins to echo the people she and Gretchen once trusted. As the killer’s motives unravel, Marissa and Eric must confront their shared past and protect one another from a threat that may have stalked her since her youth.
