Books like Places in the dark by Thomas H. Cook


During the autumn of 1937, a fragile, green‑eyed stranger named Dora March appears in Port Alma, a quiet coastal village in Maine. With only her clothes and a burden of secrets, she attracts the attention of two brothers who become irrevocably changed by her presence. Within a year she departs by the same bus that brought her, but her stay leaves one brother dead and the other teetering on the brink of insanity. While Dora conceals her own past, Port Alma itself holds its own hidden truths, amplifying the tension and mystery of the town.
