At 2:13 in the morning, Naomi Bell receives a call that will drag fifteen years of buried secrets back into the light.
Talia Mercer is a woman Naomi once trusted-and has spent years trying to forget. Frightened and speaking in whispers, Talia warns Naomi about the blue room, a missing girl, and the night that destroyed their friendship. Before she can explain, the call ends.
By sunrise, Talia is dead.
Even more disturbing, Naomi's phone contains no record that the conversation ever happened. But when unsettling messages begin to arrive, Naomi realizes Talia may have left behind a trail leading back to an abandoned lake house and the disappearance of Sophie Vale.
Five friends went to the lake house after graduation. Only four returned. Naomi remembers fragments of that night, but an entire hour remains missing-and the people closest to her seem determined to keep it that way.
As forgotten memories begin to surface, Naomi must question everything she has been told, including whom she can trust and what her own mind may be hiding. Someone has protected the truth for fifteen years, and Naomi's search threatens to expose secrets that were never meant to be uncovered.
The Woman Who Called Me Before She Died is a gripping psychological suspense novel about unreliable memories, dangerous friendships, buried guilt, and the devastating cost of silence. Perfect for readers who enjoy tense mysteries, small-town secrets, unexpected twists, and endings that keep the guilty person hidden until the final pages.
