About An Accidental Woman (Abridged)

From the New York Times bestselling author of Not My Daughter comes the suspenseful follow-up to The Lake News set in a small town rocked by the arrest of a beloved local, where one woman—alongside a handsome journalist—must unravel the truth before secrets from the past destroy everything they hold dear. Picking up where The Lake News left off, the quiet town of Lake Henry, New Hampshire, is thrown into turmoil when longtime resident Heather Malone is abruptly arrested by the FBI. Authorities claim the devoted stepmother and successful businesswoman fled the scene of a fatal accident in California fifteen years earlier. But could someone so deeply woven into the town’s fabric really be living a double life—and hiding such a dark secret? Poppy Blake—Heather’s best friend—doesn’t believe the allegations, nor does virtually anyone in the town. Still, that doesn’t stop a swarm of reporters and TV crews from descending on the town, including the handsome investigative journalist Griffin Hughes, whose attraction to Poppy keeps him coming back to Lake Henry—even though he harbors secrets of his own. Determined to clear Heather’s name, Poppy begins her own search alongside Griffin to uncovering what really happened all those years ago. Together, they may be the key not only to Heather’s fate, but also to helping Poppy face her past and envision a future she never believed she could have.
