Heather Young’s two standalone novels both blend mystery with literary fiction. The Lost Girls (2016) tells the story of a family haunted by the disappearance of a young girl decades earlier. The narrative moves between past and present to uncover the truth.
The Distant Dead (2020) follows a boy in a remote Nevada town who discovers his favorite teacher has been murdered. Both books share an interest in how the past shapes the present and how secrets corrode the communities that keep them.
