&;A higher level than the standard thriller. Readers will enjoy this book for the suspense&;[and] love it for the skill and mastery Moretti has for her craft.&; &;New York Journal of Books

&;Morbid&;Moretti pulls some tricky tricks.&; &;The New York Times

New York Times bestselling author Kate Moretti&;s next &;exceptional&;emotionally astute, [and] deliciously sinister&; (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) thriller follows the daughter of a convicted serial killer who finds herself at the center of a murder investigation.

Fifteen years ago, Lilith Wade was arrested for the brutal murder of six women. After a death row conviction, media frenzy, and the release of an unauthorized biography, her thirty-year-old daughter Edie Beckett is just trying to survive out of the spotlight. She&;s a recovering alcoholic with a dead-end city job and an unhealthy codependent relationship with her brother.

Edie also has a disturbing secret: a growing obsession with the families of Lilith&;s victims. She&;s desperate to see how they&;ve managed&;or failed&;to move on. While her escalating fixation is a problem, she&;s careful to keep her distance. That is, until she crosses a line and a man is found murdered.

Edie quickly becomes the prime suspect&;and while she can&;t remember everything that happened the night of the murder, she&;d surely remember killing someone. With the detective who arrested her mother hot on her trail, Edie goes into hiding. She&;s must get to the truth of what happened that night before the police&;or the real killer&;find her.

Unless, of course, she has more in common with her mother than she&;s willing to admit&;

Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, In Her Bones features Moretti&;s &;riveting and insightful&; (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author) prose and &;chillingly satisfying&; (Publishers Weekly) twists, and will leave you questioning the nature of guilt, obsession, and the toxicity of familial ties.
