When no one wants to hear the truth—how far would you go to make them listen?
Cassidy Clarke never planned to chase killers. Her true-crime podcast, Mysteries Uncorked, started as a side project—just three friends, a few glasses of wine, and unsolved cases that fascinated them. But when their audience explodes, the women decide to go on location for their next story: the disappearance of a young woman from a coastal inn in Maine.
For Cassidy, the case hits close to home. The missing woman was last seen at the Stonecross Inn, which is run by the grandmother she’s never met. Ellen Clarke makes one thing clear when they arrive: she doesn’t want them there. But the microphones are already live, and the listeners are hooked.
As Cassidy and Tessa dig deeper, they uncover whispers of other women who came to Stonecross and never left. The locals refuse to talk. And Ellen knows far more than she’ll say.
Then another woman vanishes. Cassidy’s podcast goes viral, and someone decides it’s time to cut her mic for good.
