Where the Blame Lies centres on college student Josie Stratton who, after escaping a 10-month kidnapping ordeal, is drawn back into a terrifying mystery when a copycat crime is discovered eight years later. Cincinnati Police Detective Zach Copeland, who was a rookie on the original case, must interview Josie to find out what she knows. As the investigation progresses, Josie becomes a potential target, and she and Zach work together to uncover a shocking truth that connects the past and present cases.
The story is a showcase for Sheridan’s trademark mastery of emotional intensity through internal and external dialogue and she conjures another rollercoaster of twist and countertwist culminating in a deadly conclusion.
Sheridan handles themes of survival, trauma and the enduring impacts of abuse with grace and sensitivity, exploring their psychological effects as well as the age-old tension between good and evil.
