Suspense
For fans of Gillian Flynn, Laura Lippman, and Paula Hawkins
comes Holly Seddon’s arresting fiction debut—an engrossing
thriller full of page-turning twists and turns, richly
imagined characters, and gripping psychological suspense. Some secrets never die. They’re just locked away. Alex Dale is lost. Destructive habits have cost her a
marriage and a journalism career. All she has left is her
routine: a morning run until her body aches, then a few
hours of forgettable work before the past grabs hold and
drags her down. Every day is treading water, every night is
drowning. Until Alex discovers Amy Stevenson. Amy Stevenson,
who was just another girl from a nearby town until the day
she was found unconscious after a merciless assault. Amy
Stevenson, who has been in a coma for fifteen years,
forgotten by the world. Amy Stevenson, who, unbeknownst to
her doctors, remains locked inside her body, conscious but
paralyzed, reliving the past. Soon Alex’s routine includes visiting hours at the hospital,
then interviews with the original suspects in the attack.
But what starts as a reporter’s story becomes a personal
obsession. How do you solve a crime when the only witness
lived but cannot tell the tale? Unable to tear herself away
from her attempt to uncover the unspeakable truth, Alex
realizes she’s not just chasing a story—she’s seeking salvation. Shifting from present to past and back again, Try Not to
Breathe unfolds layer by layer until its heart-stopping
conclusion. The result is an utterly immersive,
unforgettable debut.
