Suspense
A sensational debut thriller featuring an unforgettable heroine who just might have murdered her mother Former βIt Girlβ 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 motherβs killer. The only problem? Janie doesnβt know if sheβs the killer sheβs 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 townβs wary police chief), Janie follows a series of cluesβan old photograph, an abandoned house, a forgotten diaryβand begins to piece together her motherβs seemingly improbable connection to the town. When new evidence from Janieβs own past surfaces, sheβs 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 secretsβand 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 diedβ whatever the cost.
