Kelly and her twin Catherine were brought up by single
mother. Kelly and
Catherine were always together until one day Catherine
wanted nothing to do
with Kelly. Kelly was a loner in school until Bellamy
started
attending the same school, and they became close friends,
almost like sisters. She started
doing things with Bellamy she wouldn't normally have
done, and her life became one of drugs, drinking, and sex.
She is kicked out
of her home, and there are so many
secrets Kelly couldn't face them. When she is higher than a
kite, she shoots a
famous director. Kelly was arrested and spent 15 years in
jail. Her only visitor was Shane, Bellamy's younger
brother. They develop a bond, and when Kelly is
released, they were married.
Kelly could never figure out why Bellamy and her parents
wanted nothing to do
with her. But once again everything changes. Her father-in-
law, another famous
director, is shot...the
same way Kelly shot the other director. Of
course she is the first suspect. Kelly knows that she
didn't do it, but Shane
thinks she did and tells the police. As things begin to
unravel, all the secrets are coming out.
Alison Gaylin books are great. There are so many
twists and turns, and secret after secret is revealed. My
mind kept going back and forth on WHAT REMAINS OF ME. Who
was the
real murderer in both cases? Why did Kelly take the fall
or did she? WHAT REMAINS OF ME is one of those stories you
can't
wait to get to the end so you can see how it all plays out.
WHAT REMAINS OF ME is a fast pace book. I would love to
see a sequel on this, just to see how Kelly's life went
on. Alison Gaylin is right up there with other great
mystery writers. I will have to look and find more of her
books. I am sure they will be as great as this
one. If you are looking for a mystery with a lot
of secrets, WHAT REMAINS OF ME is the book for you.
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
—a
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.
Nobody’s perfect. Everybody’s got a drawer somewhere
with something
hidden
in it.
On June 28, 1980—the hottest night of the year—Kelly
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-old’s motives, information she’s refused to
share.
Convicted
of the murder, she loses her youth and her freedom—but
keeps her secrets
to
herself.
Thirty years later—and five years after her release from
prison—the 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
—
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,
she’s got some unexpected allies who believe she’s innocent
—of both
killings—and 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
side—interweaving subtle connections and peeling away
layers of events
to
reveal the shocking truth.
