Don't Look Close

""Don't Look Close by Jaima Fixsen is a roller-coaster ride of a mystery. The small town nestled near the mountains of western Canada is the perfect back drop for this twisted tale. Multiple murders among people who all know each other kept me on edge throughout the book. And Fixsen's well-drawn characters had me invested until the very end. A knockout read!"" -- Terri Parlato, author of She Thought She Was Safe ""Jaima Fixsen delivers a chilling, atmospheric masterclass in historical suspense. Set against the jagged, unforgiving beauty of the 1950s Canadian Rockies, Don't Look Close pulls readers into a suffocating web of secrets and betrayal where the shadows are as dangerous as the mountains themselves. A sharp, propulsive thriller that proves the past is never truly buried."" -- Rea Frey, #1 bestselling author of When She's Gone ""Don't Look Close is a gripping and very well-crafted mystery set in a Canadian mining town in the 50s. Believable characters and a nicely twisted plot make for terrific entertainment."" -- Martin Edwards, author of Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife ""Don't Look Close is a well-drawn story of a brother's determination to save his sister and to stop a killer!"" -- Debra Webb, USA Today Bestseller ""Don't Look Close takes a pair of unlikely protagonists and drops them into the dark valley of a small town, where friendliness is the norm until a shadow of danger envelopes them all."" -- Lisa Black, New York Times bestselling author of the Gardiner & Renner series ""Dark, atmospheric, and edged with menace, Don't Look Close is unsettlingly intimate. Its simmering tensions and richly drawn characters create suspense that's absorbing and inescapable, while the twists land with quiet, chilling force. I read it with the dread of watching a friend walk into a trap. This is a smart, deeply unnerving thriller I won't soon forget."" -- Rebecca Zanetti, New York Times bestselling author of You Can Run ""I was completely hooked from the start. Fixsen crafts unforgettable characters and puts them in situations that are frighteningly real. I loved every minute!"" -- Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives ""Set in the 1950s in a small Canadian mining town, this intricately woven, superbly plotted suspense will keep you on your toes. Jaima Fixsen brilliantly casts doubt on multiple characters as a protective brother joins forces with his determined sister to uncover the truth behind her ex-husband's murder. The searing tension brewing among the residents reaches a boiling point when it becomes clear that there's a serial killer hiding in plain sight. Exploring medical ethics, prejudice, and the power imbalance between men and women, Don't Look Close is a riveting read with serpentine twists that strike when you least expect them."" -- Samantha M. Bailey, USA Today and #1 international bestselling author of Hello, Juliet
