Publisher's summary

'Midnight in Soap Lake made me fall in love with reading all over again' Stuart Turton

Abigail has moved to Soap Lake, Washington to assist with her husband’s research. Instead of craft beer and folksy neighbours, she finds a dry, desolate landscape around a town subsisting on its meagre crops. What’s more, her husband has left her there alone for six months to go on a research trip.

One day, across the hardpan desert, a boy runs out of the brush literally into Abigail’s arms. He is catatonic, and his clothes are covered with blood. His mother, Esme, lies stabbed to death in a nearby car.

Abigail is desperate to find answers, and as she digs, Esme’s tragic life in is unearthed. Yet somehow, her search has caught the attention of something malevolent that lurks in Soap Lake’s every shadow. What started as curiosity becomes a desperate compulsion, as Abigail is drawn into a complex web of conspiracies and violence, and learns that the smallest towns can hide the biggest secrets.

Critic reviews

'Hooked me from page one. This twisty, smart thriller is brimming with complex characters, a page-turning plot and big questions of science, nature, marriage and murder. Matthew Sullivan expertly blends fact, fable and the evocative setting of Soap Lake in rural Washington state to create a spellbinding novel—I adored it.' Tara Conklin, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Romantics

'A shimmering, shadowy tarn of a mystery, rippling with complex heroines, David Lynchian townspeople, sinister bogeymen (TreeTop is terrifying!), and a spectacularly rich storyline set in smalltown Washington State. Fans of Tana French, Jess Walter, and Kate Atkinson will absolutely love this novel.' Sharma Shields, author of The Sasquatch Hunter's Almanac
