Susan Marley, who embodies the dark side of the town, is bringing destruction beyond her control to her hometown. She knows their secrets, and many are forced to stay because they have nowhere to go. Many even blame her for the rains that never end. Susan is the embodiment of their worst nightmare because a part of her lives in each of them.
Her sister Liz tries to mend the bonds broken when their father chose Susan as his favorite. Liz tries to ignore what he did to her older sister, unlike her mother who chooses to believe her oldest daughter is dead. When Susan dies in an accident, most people are relieved, but that changes to horror as she rises from the grave to make her neighbors face what they are.
Nobody will believe the aptly naked THE KEEPER is Sarah Langan's first novel because the tension that mounts will remind the audience of King and Koontz. The characters seem real, which makes the events that more frightening, as the darkness inside of everyone threatens to emerge supreme. Keep the lights on as this is a dark scary thriller.
