Summary:
"In this gripping, atmospheric family drama, a young woman investigates the forty-year-old murder that inspired her mother's bestselling
novel
, and uncovers devastating truths--and dangerous
lies
. Reformed party girl Meg Ashley leads a life of privilege, thanks to a bestselling horror
novel
her mother wrote decades ago. But Meg knows that the glow of their very public life hides a darker reality of
lies
, manipulation, and the heartbreak of her own solitary childhood. Desperate to break free of her mother, Meg accepts a proposal to write a scandalous, tell-all memoir. Digging into the past--and her mother's cult classic--draws Meg to Bonny Island, Georgia, and an unusual woman said to be the inspiration for the book. At first island life seems idyllic, but as Meg starts to ask tough questions, disturbing revelations come to light...including some about her mother. Soon Meg's search leads her to question the facts of a decades-old murder. She's warned to leave it alone, but as the
lies
pile up, Meg knows she's getting close to finding a murderer. When her own life is threatened, Meg realizes the darkness found in her mother's book is nothing compared to the chilling truth that lurks off the page."--P. [4] of cover.
