A dead woman's cherished trinkets become pieces to a terrifying puzzle. Mickie Lambert creates "digital scrapbooks" for clients, ensuring that precious souvenirs aren't forgotten or lost. When her latest client, Nadia Denham, a curio shop owner, dies from an apparent suicide, Mickie honors the old woman's last wish and begins curating her peculiar objets d'art. A music box, a hair clip, a key chain--twelve mementos in all that must have meant so much to Nadia, who collected them on her flea market scavenges across the country. But these tokens mean a lot to someone else, too. Mickie has been receiving threatening messages to leave Nadia's past alone. It's becoming a mystery Mickie is driven to solve. Who once owned these odd treasures? How did Nadia really come to possess them? Discovering the truth means crossing paths with a long-dormant serial killer and navigating the secrets of a sinister past. One that might, Mickie fears, be inescapably entwined with her own.

"Whew! This book took me through it! I kept thinking I knew what was happening and then Rachel was like NOPE! This was an amazing read with twists and turns at every moment. The ending had me instantly wanting to reread and see what clues and hints I missed. I was confident in who I thought the DD was back in the day, but I was way wrong about the current one. I could not put this book down, and think I’ve found a new favorite author!<br/><br/>The only reason I didn’t give it 5⭐️s is because of Mickie. Spoiled and ungrateful little rich girl who could’ve died simply because she was constantly whining about something. And the fact that she was so ditzy about putting clues together"
