LA IT girl Janie Jenkins has it all. The looks, the brains, the connections. The criminal record. Ten years ago, in a trial that transfixed America, Janie was convicted of murdering her mother. Now she's been released on a technicality she's determined to unravel the mystery of her mother's last words, words that send her to a tiny town in the very back of beyond. But with the whole of America's media on her tail, convinced she's literally got away with murder, she has to do everything she can to throw her pursuers off the scent. She knows she really didn't like her mother. Could she have killed her?

About this title

Review:

""Dear Daughter" has three of my favorite things in a book: a smart, damaged, unstoppable narrator with a slicing sense of humor; needle-sharp writing that brings characters and atmosphere leaping off the page; and a vivid, original plot full of satisfying twists. This is an all-nighter, and the best debut mystery I've read in a long time."
--Tana French, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Broken Harbor" and "In the Woods"

"Clever, original, and darkly witty, "Dear Daughter's" many twists will keep you on your toes as you fall under the spell of its unapologetic, whip-smart narrator."
--Kimberly McCreight, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Reconstructing Amelia"

"What a devilish, delightful treat of a novel! Crackling with wit and shining with originality, "Dear Daughter" is the kind of whirlwind mystery that will keep you hooked--and guessing--until the very end."
