Sarah P Blanchard: Grabtown, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Their mother left them more than memories-she left them a murder.

When twin sisters Cassandra and Anastasia return to their childhood home in rural Connecticut, they discover an unpublished manuscript hidden among their deceased mother's belongings. Written by their mom's girlfriend AJ, it's a murder mystery that reads like fiction-except their mother is a key character, and the 40-year-old cold case at its center is all too real.

Cassie, a writer, sees a bestseller. Ana, terrified of what they'll uncover, wants to burn it.

As the sisters follow AJ's story into the disturbing truth behind an abandoned village the locals call Grabtown, the line between past and present blurs. Cassie's volatile husband Marsh demands they stop digging. A retired detective arrives asking dangerous questions. And someone believes AJ's manuscript isn't fiction-it's a confession.

What's really behind Marsh's lucrative rare-motorcar business? Why won't the past stay buried? And why is a major crimes detective now urging them to flee?

Grabtown is a gripping dual-timeline thriller that exposes the dark underbelly of small-town secrets, where sisterhood and courage become the only weapons against those who prey on the vulnerable. Perfect for fans of Kellye Garrett's Like a Sister , Shari Lapena's Listen for the Lie , and Amy Gentry's Good as Gone.

Grabtown is a Kirkus Reviews featured title and a finalist for the 2025 CIBA Clue Awards.
