Her entire body shakes as she runs through the mist, barely keeping her screams bottled inside. She finds somewhere safe to hide, but the image of the figure dressed head-to-toe in black flashes through her mind. Someone is coming for her…
When reports come in of an attack on a group of friends on the grounds of an abandoned summer camp, Detective Morgan Brookes races to the scene. Seeing a body in the lake, she throws herself into the freezing water, but the boy’s battered face and blue lips are evidence that she is far too late. With his killer at large, and one young girl missing, a desperate search ensues.
Everyone in town believes the camp is haunted, but not a soul knew the teens had ventured there to look for ghosts. The only witness was the caretaker, and his filthy, dilapidated house puts the whole team on edge. But when Morgan meets the girl who survived, trembling in her hospital bed, and hears about a female figure she saw in the mist, a shiver runs through her. Is this the young girl’s imagination running wild, the killer, or another victim?
With rain flooding Rydal Falls, washing away all evidence and reducing visibility in the camp, Morgan must throw everything she has into unravelling this mystery and finding the young girl lost in the mist. But will the twisted killer stalking the mountains get there first?
Nail-biting, twisty and impossible to put down. If you love gripping thrillers from Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine, you’ll be absolutely hooked!

The curiosity of three teens leads them into dreadful trouble. One girl barely escapes with her life, a boy drowns in a lake, and the third teen vanishes without a trace. Detective Morgan Brookes springs into action immediately. Upon arriving at the scene and spotting the body in the lake, Morgan dives in herself, desperately attempting to save him, though tragically her efforts are in vain.
What drew the teens there in the first place? They had been exploring an abandoned camp rumored to be haunted, hoping to prove that ghosts truly existed there. The only person living on the property is the caretaker, making him a key suspect in Morgan’s eyes. Still, her instincts tell her there is more to the story, and the search for the missing teen quickly becomes the priority.
The surviving girl is left traumatized and hospitalized, utterly convinced that she saw a mysterious mist that night. Her fear alone is enough to send chills down Morgan’s spine. What really happened at the camp? And can the third teen be found alive? With freezing rain, flooding, and worsening weather conditions destroying potential evidence, Morgan and her team face an uphill battle in uncovering the truth.
The Girl in the Mist by Helen Phifer is another riveting installment in this compelling series. While each book can certainly work as a standalone, fans of police procedurals will get the most enjoyment from reading the series in order. The evolving dynamics between Morgan and her team add tremendous depth to the stories, especially her relationship with Ben. As both Morgan’s boss and her partner, this brings an added layer of tension and emotional complexity that continues to strengthen the series with every book.
