Description

The town of Wolf Ridge calls him The Smiley Face Killer. Bettina Holland calls him her father.

Everyone knows Bettinas father was the one who murdered her mother a decade ago. Its the subject of podcasts, murder tours, and even a highly anticipated docuseries. But after growing up grappling with what that means, a string of copycat murders forces Bett to answer a harder question: What if he didnt?

Old-money Bett must team up with the only person willing to investigate alongside her: bookish goth girl Eugenia, the morticians daughter, who everyone says puts the makeup on corpses. Can this true crime princess unmask a murderer whos much closer to home than she ever imagined?

Gritty, gripping, and propulsive from page one, Dead Girls Talking is a ride for readers who love to see girls get their hands dirty as they claw their way to the truth. Petersons knife-sharp thriller cuts deep, with a wicked sense of humor, a wire-taut atmosphere, and a deadly serious approach to bigger issues of justice and female anger.
