What Gwen finds at her family’s lake house will change her life forever.

Gwen has spent over a decade avoiding the remote cabin where her cousin Tanner vanished without a trace. But when her dying grandfather asks the family to gather one last time before selling the property, she reluctantly agrees—bringing her husband Christian and toddler daughter Charlotte into a reunion she's dreaded for years.

The trip quickly spirals into a nightmare when Gwen discovers what appears to be a body in the lake. But when she leads her family to the water's edge, there's nothing there. Everyone insists she's seeing things, that the trauma of Tanner's disappearance has finally caught up with her. Even her own husband begins to doubt her sanity.

As Gwen fights to prove what she saw, long-buried family secrets begin surfacing—secrets about the day Tanner disappeared, about the people she's trusted most, and about the dark truth her family has been hiding for fourteen years. With each revelation, the danger grows closer, and Gwen realizes that some mysteries are better left unsolved.

In a house full of liars, the only way to survive is to uncover the truth—before it's too late.

Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lisa Jewell, Don't Talk About Him is a gripping psychological thriller about family secrets, buried trauma, and the devastating consequences of the lies we tell ourselves.
