"A smart, twisty debut that will keep you guessing until the final shocking twist . . . Readers take note—Gabbie Hanks is a writer to watch!’ —Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Hosts
An infamous murder case is blown back open when a crime writer’s sister goes missing—and her bestselling book might be the key to finding her.
Rose Dearling’s life changed forever when her brother was imprisoned for the murder of his high school sweetheart. Now, a decade after the crime ripped her family and Florida hometown apart, Rose is the only one who still believes he didn’t do it. So much so that she wrote a bestselling book about the case to cement his innocence. This may have gained her a bad reputation, but it also bought her a new life in Manhattan, far away from where it all began.
Then Rose gets a call that shatters her world for a second time: her younger sister has gone missing. Back home and under the same roof as her family for the first time in years, Rose begins the search for her sister. But when connections between both past and present cases emerge, Rose realizes that her own book could hold all the answers . . .
Propulsive and razor-sharp, Nasty Little Secrets is a crackling psychological suspense about family secrets and small-town scandal, which grips you until the final, jaw-dropping twist.
