"The YA thriller of the summer." --Bustle
For fans of Sadie and Serial, this gripping thriller follows two
teens whose lives become inextricably linked when one confesses to
murder and the other becomes determined to uncover the real truth no
matter the cost.
What happened to Zoe won't stay buried...
When Anna Cicconi arrives to the small Hamptons village of Herron Mills
for a summer nanny gig, she has high hopes for a fresh start. What she
finds instead is a community on edge after the disappearance of Zoe
Spanos, a local girl who has been missing since New Year's Eve. Anna
bears an eerie resemblance to Zoe, and her mere presence in town stirs
up still-raw feelings about the unsolved case. As Anna delves deeper
into the mystery, stepping further and further into Zoe's life, she
becomes increasingly convinced that she and Zoe are connected--and that
she knows what happened to her.
Two months later, Zoe's body is found in a nearby lake, and Anna is
charged with manslaughter. But Anna's confession is riddled with holes,
and Martina Green, teen host of the Missing Zoe podcast, isn't
satisfied. Did Anna really kill Zoe? And if not, can Martina's podcast
uncover the truth?
Inspired by Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, Kit Frick weaves a thrilling
story of psychological suspense that twists and turns until the final
page.
