Description
The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder meets Demon Copperhead in this new fast-paced and wickedly smart read from three-time Edgar Award nominee Lamar Giles!
Welcome to Keysbridge.
Population 5,818 and dropping.
Where I live, everyone knows something -- true or false -- about the Goodwin family. Some say the Goodwins are just a myth born from small-town gossip and lack of opportunities. Others have one of those red-string conspiracy boards that explains how the Goodwins basically built the town and run everything. We’re not supposed to ask questions here. Not if you know what’s good for you.
And yet, questions abound.
What if there really was one family that ran our town?
What if they messed up, and everything that had been working for years started to unravel?
What if that part started at my after-school job?
What if there were seven dead bodies by the end of everything?
What if it was your friends dying?
Guess I don’t know what’s good for me because I’m going to answer them all...
Advance Praise
"Some books grab you from the first line and don't let go, and Say Less is one of those. Lamar Giles has created a rare thing, an unputdownable thriller with a big, beating heart." -- Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Is Also a Star
"Say Less opens with grief, heat, secrets, and a town where everybody knows something, even if nobody knows the whole truth. Lamar Giles builds that pressure beautifully, and Meela carries you straight into it." --- Jay Ellis, author of Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)?
"Giles knows exactly how deep small-town dread can run -- propulsive and razor-sharp." -- Mindy McGinnis, author of The Female of the Species
"Say Less is full of gripping details that keep you turning pages, and superb pacing that goes left every time you're expecting a right." -- Ashley Woodfolk, critically acclaimed author of The Beauty That Remains
