About this book

A new sapphic YA thriller for fans of Heathers and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Sixteen-year-old Quinn is a liar, but she isn’t a murderer. When the sleepy town of Boiling Springs, North Carolina is roused by the murder of a local teen, Quinn is thrust into a life of danger, disrupting her normally unnoticeable existence.

As Quinn becomes romantically involved with Gilly, the best friend of the dead girl and daughter of the town sheriff, the situation becomes even more complicated. Despite the lurk of danger, Quinn tries to keep her mind on her new and exciting relationship. When another one of Gilly’s friends turns up dead, and more clues start to pile up, Quinn can’t help but start her own investigation. With everyone in town lying to each other, the suspect list grows. To make matters even more complicated, Quinn feels the killer could be closer to home than anyone suspects.
