Publisher Description
A stunning breakout novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Still Missing in which a woman is convicted of her sister's murder
Toni Murphy was eighteen when she and her boyfriend, Ryan, were wrongly convicted of the murder of her younger sister. Now she is thirty-four and back in her hometown, working every day to forge and adjust to a new life on the outside. She's doing everything in her power to avoid violating her parole and going back to prison. But nothing is making that easy—not Ryan, who is convinced he can figure out the truth; not her mother, who clearly doubts Toni's innocence; and certainly not the group of women who made Toni's life miserable in high school and who may have darker secrets than anyone realizes. Before Toni can truly move on, she must risk everything to find out the truth and clear her name.

“Stevens’ storytelling skills are strong in her latest. She shows us the evil that women can wreak on each other, even in high school, and she paints a poisonous parent very well…Readers will feel the heroine’s youthful love and anguish, and root for and believe in her no matter what self-destructive things she does. Stevens continues to captivate, especially with the women’s prison and halfway house scenes that are timely given the popularity of TV shows Orange Is the New Black and Justified.”

“Fast-paced and thought-provoking, That Night is a taut psychological thriller which skillfully explores bullying in its most terrifying forms.

— Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author -
“Stevens has crafted yet another suspenseful thriller with this tale of heartbreak, the cruelties of fate, and redemption…Stevens not only gives us a fresh perspective on the power adolescents hold over one another, but she also explores the way secrets can destroy lives. Fans of layered mysteries will love this novel as they try to guess the players in Nicole’s death and try to figure out exactly what happened ‘that night.’ A compelling, exceptional read.”
— Library Journal (starred review) -
“Riveting…An exciting page-turner with an incisive twist.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Expertly portrayed by narrator Jorjeana Marie, Toni Murphy tells her life’s story through a series of flashbacks that go back to the year 1996…Marie adds reality and substance to the circle of girls who bully Toni in school, deftly building the tension in this YA psychological suspense. Her voice gives personality to Toni’s character, and her pacing, tone, and dialogue are spot-on. Even the male character voices are well done. Overall, Marie heightens the emotional scenes.”
— AudioFile -
“We meet Toni Murphy just as she’s about to be paroled from a Canadian penitentiary…Stevens does an excellent job conveying Toni’s near-constant state of unease—as a victim of teenage bullying, a prison inmate protesting her innocence, a parolee who’s prohibited from coming in contact with the people who could clear her name. And she supplies a corker of an ending.”
— Booklist -
“Stevens draws a dark crime drama from the beautiful blue-green of Canada’s Vancouver Island…Think James Lee Burke and Sue Grafton: Stevens’ dark psychological thriller shares their damaged people and distinctive senses of place.”
