Brynn goes back to her old school to reopen the unsolved killing of a teacher, and the town she grew up in stops being familiar.
Karen M. McManus builds the mystery out of what people choose not to say, moving between perspectives as old friendships and settled accounts come apart. The atmosphere stays tight, the list of suspects grows, and the resolution is held back until late. Published by Penguin Publications, the novel sits alongside One of Us Is Lying and Two Can Keep a Secret in her young adult thriller list.
Elements that carry the story:
• A cold case reopened by someone with a personal stake in it
• Shifting perspectives that withhold as much as they reveal
• A small-town setting where everyone holds a version of events
• Young adult suspense from an established thriller author
For readers of psychological mysteries and young adult thrillers, published by Penguin Publications and available from Boipoka.
