The USA Today bestselling author of the Brenna Spector series returns with her most ambitious book to date, a spellbinding novel of psychological suspense, set in the glamorous, wealthy world of Hollywood โa darkly imaginative and atmospheric tale of revenge and betrayal, presumed guilt and innocence lost, dirty secrets and family ties reminiscent of the bestsellers of Laura Lippman, Gillian Flynn, and Harlan Coben.
Nobodyโs perfect. Everybodyโs got a drawer somewhere with something hidden in it.
On June 28, 1980โthe hottest night of the yearโKelly Michelle Lund shoots and kills Oscar-nominated director John McFadden at a party in his home. . . . And instantly becomes a media sensation, her chilling smile fodder for national nightmares. For years, speculation swirls over the enigmatic seventeen-year-oldโs motives, information sheโs refused to share. Convicted of the murder, she loses her youth and her freedomโbut keeps her secrets to herself.
Thirty years laterโand five years after her release from prisonโthe past has come back to haunt Kelly. Her father-in-law, movie legend Sterling Marshall, is found in a pool of blood in his home in the Hollywood Hills โ dead from a shot to the head, just like his old friend John McFadden.
Once again, Kelly is suspected of the high profile murder. But this time, sheโs got some unexpected allies who believe sheโs innocent โof both killingsโand want to help her clear her name. But is she?
Written with masterful precision and control, WHAT REMAINS OF ME brilliantly moves forward and back in time, playing out the murders side by sideโinterweaving subtle connections and peeling away layers of events to reveal the shocking truth.
