It's Not Her by Mary Kubica (Pre-Order Feb 3rd 2026)

From the New York Times bestselling author of Local Woman Missing comes It’s Not Her, a twisty, unputdownable thriller about a shattered family, a vanished girl, and the secrets lurking beneath a tranquil lakeside escape.

Courtney Gray’s long-awaited family vacation turns into a nightmare when a blood-curdling scream pierces the quiet of their secluded lake resort. In the neighboring cottage, she discovers the unthinkable: her brother and sister-in-law brutally murdered. Her teenage niece, Reese, has vanished without a trace. Upstairs, her young nephew Wyatt sleeps peacefully, untouched.

As police swarm the small resort town, cracks begin to form in Courtney’s understanding of her own family. Long-buried secrets surface, and when Courtney learns of a hauntingly similar disappearance from years earlier, her certainty begins to unravel. The past and present collide, and nothing about Reese’s disappearance feels random.

Desperate to find her niece before time runs out, Courtney digs deeper—only to realize that everyone around her is hiding something. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes.

Dark, propulsive, and packed with shocking turns, It’s Not Her is a gripping exploration of trust, family loyalty, and how well we really know the people we love.
