We Are All the Same in the Dark by Julia Heaberlin Book Summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • PEOPLE PICK • OPTIONED BY SISTER PICTURES FOR TELEVISION • The discovery of a girl abandoned by the side of the road threatens to unearth the long-buried secrets of a Texas town’s legendary cold case in this superb, atmospheric novel from the internationally bestselling author of Black-Eyed Susans

“If you only read one thriller this year, let it be this one. Psychologically absorbing, original and atmospheric. I could not turn the pages fast enough.”—Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author of 28 Summers

It’s been a decade since Trumanell Branson disappeared, leaving only a bloody handprint behind. Her pretty face still hangs like a watchful queen on the posters on the walls of the town’s Baptist church, the police station, and in the high school. They all promise the same thing: We will find you. Meanwhile, Tru’s brother, Wyatt, lives as a pariah in the desolation of the old family house, cleared of wrongdoing by the police but tried and sentenced in the court of public opinion and in a new documentary about the crime.

When Wyatt finds a lost girl dumped in a field of dandelions, making silent wishes, he believes she is a sign. The town’s youngest cop, Odette Tucker, believes she is a catalyst that will ignite a seething town still waiting for its own missing girl to come home. But Odette can’t look away. She shares a wound that won’t close with the mute, one-eyed mystery girl. And she is haunted by her own history with the missing Tru.

Desperate to solve both cases, Odette fights to save the lost girl in the present and to dig up the shocking truth about a fateful night in the past—the night her friend disappeared, the night that inspired her to become a cop, the night that wrote them all a role in the town’s dark, violent mythology.

In this twisty psychological thriller, Julia Heaberlin paints unforgettable portraits of a woman and a girl who redefine perceptions of physical beauty and strength.

Praise for We Are All the Same in the Dark

“This chilling tale of buried sins is relentlessly unpredictable.”—The Times (South Africa)

“[Julia] Heaberlin knows how to build to a truly shocking twist, how to break a reader’s heart and then begin mending it. ‘What’s coming is always unimaginable,’ Odette’s one-time therapist tells her, ‘and by that, I mean just that. It cannot be imagined. What’s coming never acts or behaves the way we think it will.’ That’s true for this novel, too.”—The Dallas Morning News

Multilayered Mystery Set in Small Texas Town. Ten years ago, Trumanell Branson and her father, Frank, went missing. The same night, fleeing the Branson farm, where she’d gone to meet her boyfriend Wyatt, Trumanell’s younger brother, Odette Tucker suffered a life-altering car accident. Wyatt became the leading suspect, but the police never could amass enough evidence to arrest him. Odette left her small Texas town for college in Chicago, but when her father, a detective, died, she was compelled to return and join the police force. A documentary about Trumanell with an FBI agent fingering Wyatt has renewed the town’s antagonism against him. Although married, Odette’s feelings for Wyatt remain complicated, and she can’t help but want to protect him, even though her partner, Rusty, wants nothing more than to find the smoking gun that will send him away. In this tempestuous atmosphere, Odette receives a call that Wyatt was seen in his truck with a young girl. Defying protocol, she rushed to his house, alone, and finds a mute, one-eyed girl. Feeling a sense of kinship with the girl Wyatt named Angel, Odette keeps her out of the system while trying to uncover her past. At the same time, she continues her off-record investigation into Trumanell’s disappearance. Angel might be prism through which Odette finds the answers or the spark that incites the roiling town. I loved We Are All the Same in The Dark because of the strong female characters, the familiar Texas-Oklahoma landscape, and the magnificent writing. This is the type of literary thriller that has not only a gripping plot, but also well-drawn characters and relevant and important themes about identity, belonging, and belief. At one point, I was so shocked, I surprised my husband with the noise I made. Other moments, I was terrified. Additionally, I was delighted to see my hometown mentioned! For fans of Long Bright River, Please See Us, and These Women, I highly recommend this book. Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for providing an advance reading copy in exchange for an honest review.

Gripping. I couldn’t put this one down!

Excellent writing. Great writing style. Very entertaining and I highly recommend it!!

Fantastic!. This book was awesome!! From the first page to the last, I couldn’t get enough! Definitely one of my favorite authors!

Loved this book!. Oh boy! The twists and turns! Loved this book, kept me guessing and what an ending! Read it in two days! Great book!

Top thriller I read all year .. It’s been years since Ive read a book I couldn’t put down and that I couldn’t quite figure out . I absolutely loved this book and it might be one of my last reads of the year but it is one of the best . This is my first book by Julia Heaberlin but I’m intrigued to read another . If you love a thriller with a great build of multiple characters but also pulls at your heart strings I’d recommend this book. Even if thrillers aren’t your thing I think pretty much everyone would really love this book. I absolutely loved it !

Her writing is fantastic but. I love the detail of her writing and how she captures deep perspectives and then quickly moves on. Much like how my mind works. I don’t typically read murder mysteries but I did not see the ending coming… not it a good way though.

I finished this out of spite. Oh god. The first time I’ve ever finished a book out of pure spite. What could have been a compelling story got so muddled up in so much that seemed unnecessary: red herrings that waste huge chunks of time, every character’s inner voice sounding similar, the death of the most interesting character, the conclusion by the most annoying character, and the first chunk told by Wyatt which felt just so out of place. And then the killer being someone that felt completely out of left field? This just felt really messy and not particularly well-thought out.

Did not see the end coming…. This book took me all of 2 days to read. It was a great murder mystery. The ending totally threw me for a loop. Usually I can figure out who the killer is about halfway through a book like this but nope, I had no clue!

Dig in. A little tough to get through, but curiosity got me.

Love all her books. All of her books are super good, and this newest edition does not disappoint.
