Suspense
A sensational debut thriller featuring an unforgettable heroine who just might have murdered her
mother
Former “It Girl” Janie Jenkins is sly, stunning, and fresh out of prison. Ten years ago, at the height of her
fame, she was incarcerated for the murder of her mother, a high-society beauty known for her good works
and rich husbands. Now, released on a technicality, Janie makes herself over and goes undercover,
determined to chase down the one lead she has on her mother’s killer. The only problem? Janie doesn’t know
if she’s the killer she’s looking for. Janie makes her way to an isolated South Dakota town whose mysteries rival her own. Enlisting the help of
some new friends (and the town’s wary police chief), Janie follows a series of clues—an old photograph, an
abandoned house, a forgotten diary—and begins to piece together her mother’s seemingly improbable
connection to the town. When new evidence from Janie’s own past surfaces, she’s forced to consider the
possibility that she and her mother were more alike than either of them would ever have imagined. As she digs tantalizingly deeper, and as suspicious locals begin to see through her increasingly fragile
facade, Janie discovers that even the sleepiest towns hide sinister secrets—and will stop at nothing to guard
them. On the run from the press, the police, and maybe even a murderer, Janie must choose between the
anonymity she craves and the truth she so desperately needs. A gripping, electrifying debut novel with an ingenious and like-it-or-not sexy protagonist, Dear Daughter
follows every twist and turn as Janie unravels the mystery of what happened the night her mother died—
whatever the cost.
