A perfect summer. A sudden disappearance. A chilling mystery 🌊🔍

Set in the long, hot summer of 1967, Boundary by Andrée A. Michaud is a haunting literary thriller where an idyllic lakeside holiday turns into something far darker.

At Boundary Pond, straddling the US-Canadian border, life feels carefree—children play on the sand, families relax under the sun, and the air is filled with music and laughter.

Then Zaza Mulligan disappears.

What begins as a peaceful summer slowly unravels into a tense and unsettling mystery. As suspicion grows and secrets surface, the once-bright landscape darkens, revealing the fragile line between innocence and danger.

🧠 Why This Book Stands Out:

Atmospheric storytelling with a strong sense of place
A slow-burn mystery filled with tension and emotional depth
Explores themes of childhood, memory, and hidden truths
Perfect for readers who enjoy literary crime fiction

Dark, evocative, and deeply compelling, Boundary is a novel that lingers long after the final page.
