Publisher Description
“A charming cast of characters, a twisty mystery, and a diabolical killer make Nothing Ever Happens Here impossible to put down. A riveting page-turner with a sly sense of humor.” —Robyn Harding, internationally bestselling author of The Haters
From the Edgar-award nominated author of ON A QUIET STREET and THE VACANCY IN ROOM 10, Seraphina Nova Glass is back with NOTHING EVER HAPPENS HERE...
Nothing ever happens in small towns…
When Shelby Dawson survives a harrowing attack that should have left her dead, she tries to move past it—for herself, and for her family. Fifteen months later, with the help of her best friend, Mackenzie, she finally feels safe again in the snowy Minnesota town she calls home. But when an anonymous note appears on her windshield bearing the same threats her attacker made, Shelby realizes that her nightmare has only just begun.
As new evidence surfaces, and a group of well-meaning senior citizens accidentally makes the case go viral online, the situation quickly goes from bad to worse. And with suspicious accidents targeting those closest to her happening all over town, Shelby can’t shake the feeling that she’s being watched. Fighting to stay one step ahead of disaster, she finds herself asking the question on everyone’s lips: Who attacked her that night?
But Shelby isn’t the only one with questions. Mackenzie’s husband, Leo, vanished without a trace on that terrible night, and over a year later, no one knows why. Until a deep dive into his finances reveals a history of debts, mismanaged funds, and hidden accounts—one of which is still active. Their suspicion that Leo is still alive only complicates things further, though, and when another person connected to Shelby goes missing, she’s caught in a race against time before her attacker becomes a killer.

Rinse and Repeat
Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass is a modern murder mystery set in a small, small town where nothing like this has ever happened (get it?). Jokes aside, the title feels more like a spoiler than anything else.
Seraphina does a great job at world building. Making you feel as if you grew up with all the townsfolk yourself, or making you genuinely feel the warmth and familiarity of all the communities hot spots. The author also does a great job at flowing in and out of each character perspective which creates a pretty easy reading experience.
The only gripe I have, and a big gripe at that, is nothing ever happens there! Seraphina does create cliff hanger endings to each chapter that hooks you into the next, but it’s so formulaic that you can sense what’s happening before she even starts laying the seeds properly. Each chapter just carries the same pace as the last.
All in all, it’s a good read and I enjoyed my time with the characters and the world she created, even if it was a little too copy and paste for my liking.
