There are times when truth appears to be constantly shifting and nobody involved is entirely sure who to believe. In The Only One Left, a mute, wheelchair-bound witness finally begins to type out the truth about a decades-old family massacre. Entry Island's insomniac detective becomes convinced he has known his prime suspect for centuries, though they have never met. Ann Cleeves sends a young woman digging through secrets from a trip to Kenya she would rather forget. And in Sweet Heart, a newlywed's past-life hypnosis session tears open a haunting she cannot explain away. Not for reading with the lights off.
