Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Kieran Scott!
Writes:
Kieran Scott writes twisty mysteries that take place in aspirational settings and often feature rich people behaving badly. If you love short, snappy chapters with cliffhangers galore, these books are for you. Must love surprises, too. The twists just keep on coming.
About:
This New York Times bestselling author of YA fiction is now all grown up and writing for adults. Kieran loves flawed characters who know what they want, but often make huge mistakes trying to get it. A mother of two humans and one dog, Kieran binge watches classic WB and CW shows, is addicted to Food Network, loves to bake (but hates to decorate what she bakes), lifts lots of weights and does lots of cardio. She also loves movie theater popcorn, watching football and hockey, playing board games (though her family refuses to play her in Scrabble) and—shocker—reading.
My ideal reader for PEOPLE WILL TALK loves:
- Gasp-worthy twists that make your jaw drop
- Tons of plausible red-herrings to keep you guessing
- Idyllic seaside settings including cozy downtowns and incredible mansions
- Charming leading men who you also want to smack upside the head
- Strong female friendship stories
If we’re compatible, you can expect:
- Many more mysteries in aspirational environments
- Monday Morning Motivations on my Instagram (we all need ‘em!)
- Pictures of my sweet, rescue, mostly-Labrador Maura
- Lots of book recommendations in the mystery and rom com genres
Kieran Scott brings her distinctive “sharp and stylish” (BookPage, starred review) prose to this breathlessly suspenseful novel that combines Glass Onion with Big Little Lies as three women are implicated in a murder after a wedding goes horribly wrong.
When the Frank family throws their annual clambake at their gorgeous beachside home on Cape May, the seafood is always delivered to white-clothed tables on fine bone china. And Peter Frank, the beloved son and perennial heartbreaker, will make the rounds, charming every woman on the guest list.
Top of that list this year are Maya, his tennis star girlfriend just coming off the high of winning Wimbledon; Catherine, his high school sweetheart turned wildly successful wedding planner and influencer; and Leanne, the fiercely protective aunt and legal guardian of his only son. When Maya, Catherine, and Leanne arrive expecting an extravagant feast, they’re instead lured into a room together by a mysterious text to find Peter and…Tilly.
Tilly, all golden blonde hair and perfectly tan skin, explains to the three women that she and Peter plan to get married that night, that Maya and Peter are through, that Peter will no longer be investing in Catherine’s company, and that Leanne must give up guardianship of her nephew. The enraged women attend the impromptu wedding, but when a chandelier falls and crushes the bride, suddenly they’re three likely suspects with three perfect motives. Now they’ll have to work together to figure out who really did kill Tilly, and fast—because maintaining a good reputation in this crowd can be murder.
