<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> When her father dies, Tessa is pulled back to the small Pennsylvania town where her life came apart when her father was sent to prison, her mother went to pieces, and her beloved older sister ran away, and where her testimony and that of her now-estranged friend Callie sent a serial killer to death row--a serial killer who may be getting a new trial as long buried secrets come to light. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Gripping from start to finish . . . with twists that left me shocked.--Victoria Aveyard, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Red Queen</i></b> <p/> <b>For fans of Gillian Flynn<i> </i>and <i>Pretty Little Liars, </i> <i>The Darkest Corners</i> is a psychological thriller about the lies little girls tell, and the deadly truths those lies become.</b> <p/> There are secrets around every corner in Fayette, Pennsylvania. Tessa left when she was nine and has been trying ever since not to think about what happened there that last summer. <br> She and her childhood best friend Callie never talked about what they saw. Not before the trial. And certainly not after.<br> But ever since she left, Tessa has had questions. Things have never quite added up. And now she has to go back to Fayette--to Wyatt Stokes, sitting on death row; to Lori Cawley, Callie's dead cousin; and to the one other person who may be hiding the truth.<br> Only the closer Tessa gets to what really happened, the closer she gets to a killer--and this time, it won't be so easy to run away. <p/><b>And don't miss Kara's next eerie and masterly psychological thriller <i>Little Monsters</i>--on sale now <i>(SLJ)</i>!</b> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b><b>Praise for <i>The Darkest Corners</i> </b><br></b><br><b>Gripping from start to finish</b>, <i>The Darkest Corners</i> took me into an underbelly I didn't know existed, <b>with twists that left me shocked</b> and racing forward to get to the end.-Victoria Aveyard, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Red Queen</i> <p/>"<b>A tight, twisted thriller, </b>full of deft reversals and disturbing revelations--<b>deeply, compulsively satisfying</b>!"-Brenna Yovanoff, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Replacement <p/></i> "<b>As dark as Gillian Flynn and as compulsive as</b> <b><i>Serial</i></b>...Kara Thomas's mystery debut is intricate, chilling, and deeply compelling.
