Description

In the vein of Big Little Lies, Nina Monroe's suspense debut explores the dangerous side of suburbia.

Nothing ever happens in a sleepy town like Middlebrook. Until the residents are shaken to their core, when one hot Saturday afternoon, at a back-to-school party, nine children sneak into a barn...and only eight come out unharmed.

The press immediately starts asking questions. What type of parents let their children play unsupervised in a house with guns? What kind of child pulls the trigger on their friend? And most importantly: of the nine children who were present in that barn, which one actually pulled the trigger, and why are the others staying silent?

Incredibly gripping and gorgeously written, this thought-provoking novel asks how much our children are capable of, and how far we will go to protect them.

Such an outstandingly powerful book based in a small town where the families dont think a tragedy can strike but strike, one does. A town where you think you know neighbors and their children but do not. A beautifully written mystery with twists and turns I didn’t see coming. A bond so strong that a group of kids stick together, share secrets, have each other’s backs. Marriages falling apart at the hands of what’s right and wrong, a story to tell, and patching things all back together. I absolutely enjoyed this book and could not put it down
