Perfect for you if...

You enjoy psychological thrillers where the investigator's own trauma becomes the real mystery.
You want a debut that rivals established crime writers. Stephen King praised this one for good reason.
You're drawn to unreliable narrators and stories that peel back family secrets layer by layer.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer plot-driven mysteries where clues stack neatly toward a satisfying reveal.
You need distance from stories about self-harm, trauma, and deeply dysfunctional family dynamics.
You want a straightforward whodunnit. This is as much about Camille's fractured psyche as the murders themselves.

About this book

Camille Preaker, a reporter recovering from a recent psychiatric hospitalization, returns to her small hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. She must confront her neurotic, hypochondriac mother and her half-sister, a thirteen-year-old with significant influence over the town. Staying in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself drawn too closely to the young victims. As she investigates the crimes, she must work through her own psychological history to uncover the truth behind the murders and navigate the difficult dynamics of her homecoming.
