About this ebook

The story begins where the trail went cold.

The second season of Maisy Farley’s true crime podcast takes her to Dead Man’s Hollow, an expansive conservation area just outside Pittsburgh, to investigate a cold case.

In 1994, a sixteen-year-old girl vanished from a party in the woods. Heather Ryan has never been found, and no suspect has ever been arrested.

As the thirtieth anniversary of the girl’s disappearance approaches, Maisy is determined to uncover the truth about what happened to her. The teenagers with Heather that night, now middle-aged parents, remain tight-lipped about the events in the hollow. When details emerge, they're dark, disturbing, and not entirely trustworthy. And someone will stop at nothing to keep the long-buried truth hidden.

Dead Man’s Hollow is the second book in the Maisy Farley series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa F. Miller.

Ratings and reviews

I love this 2nd book of Maisy’s series. In this one Maisy and Jordana tackle a 30 yr old cold case involving the disappearance of a high school student after an underage drinking party in Dead Man’s Hollow. I like how the author alternates the chapters with transcripts from the podcast, giving it a real-time feel. Both Sasha and Bodhi make an appearance in this one reminding all of us why we love all of the author’s characters and series so much.

OMG I love Maisy! What an excellent read, almost impossible to put down. Maisy goes the extra mile to solving the mystery of what happened to Heather, thirty years and bring closure to all involved.

Riveting! Plan to stay up late reading about Maisy’s latest podcast. Imagine having a family member disappear 30 years ago and having no closure. Heather’s sisters finally decide they are willing to go so far as to try a podcast to see if they can get any closure. You’ll be blown away by how and when small bits of information come together to bring about an explosive ending. I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving my honest review voluntarily.
