The Light on Crestwood Drive

A woman. A light. A street full of people who know exactly what they're not saying. Nora Bliss moves to Crestwood Drive with three boxes and no plan. On her first night she notices a light in the upstairs window of the house across the street, burning at 3am. The neighbours say it's a timer lamp. They all say this, in the same words, which is the thing that makes Nora suspicious — she's a copy editor, she notices when passages repeat. What she finds, one careful thread at a time: a young woman who disappeared seven months ago, an unsolved hit-and-run from fourteen years back, a charity audit that closed after a well-placed donation, and a network of paid eyes so thoroughly embedded in a quiet Connecticut street that no one has noticed anything is wrong. No one except Nora. Sharp, propulsive, and threaded with dark humour, The Light on Crestwood Drive is a debut thriller about curiosity as a survival skill, the infrastructure of silence, and what happens when the wrong woman can't sleep.
