A stunning breakout novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Still Missing in which a woman is convicted of her sister's murder

Toni Murphy was eighteen when she and her boyfriend, Ryan, were wrongly convicted of the murder of her younger sister. Now she is thirty-four and back in her hometown, working every day to forge and adjust to a new life on the outside. She's doing everything in her power to avoid violating her parole and going back to prison. But nothing is making that easy—not Ryan, who is convinced he can figure out the truth; not her mother, who clearly doubts Toni's innocence; and certainly not the group of women who made Toni's life miserable in high school and who may have darker secrets than anyone realizes. Before Toni can truly move on, she must risk everything to find out the truth and clear her name.

      Expertly portrayed by narrator Jorjeana Marie, Toni Murphy tells her life's story through a series of flashbacks that go back to the year 1996. As she graduates from high school, Toni is convicted of murdering her sister, Nicole. Now, after having served 15 years, she's out on parole and desperate to avoid any trouble. Marie adds reality and substance to the circle of girls who bully Toni in school, deftly building the tension in this YA psychological suspense. Her voice gives personality to Toni's character, and her pacing, tone, and dialogue are spot-on. Even the male character voices are well done. Overall, Marie heightens the emotional scenes, including the surprising conclusion, which reveals who really murdered Nicole. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

      In this riveting, if overly ambitious thriller, Stevens (Always Watching) raises significant themes—bullying, troubled families, the difficulties ex-cons face—but doesn’t do them all justice. In 1998, high school sweethearts Toni Murphy and Ryan Walker went to prison for killing Toni’s younger sister, Nicole—a haunted girl with secrets no one guessed. The most damning—and false—testimony came from classmate Shauna McKinney and her friends, who had tormented Toni for months before the murder. Fifteen years later, Toni and Ryan return home on parole to Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Although they’re legally prohibited from contact, Ryan asks Toni to help him clear their names. Meanwhile, Shauna is determined to send them back to prison. Toni finds an unlikely ally in Shauna’s teenage daughter, Ashley, perhaps the only person who wholeheartedly believes Toni and Ryan are innocent. Despite some wooden secondary characters, this is an exciting page-turner with an incisive twist. Author tour. Announced first printing of 150,000. Agent: Mel Berger, William Morris Agency.
