Praised as “riveting” by People, “heart-pumping” by Nina Simon and “jaw-dropping” by Amanda Eyre Ward, Pretty Dead Things is a rich and addictive psychological thriller from Kelsey Cox.
In 2000, Isabelle Whitmore vanished from Sherman Ranch in Anhalt, Texas, without a trace.
Twenty-five years later, the annual Lone Star Princess Pageant is about to begin. Competition is fiercer than ever and long-standing grudges are rising to the surface. Ingrid fled Anhalt following her sister Isabelle’s disappearance, but she returns just as a construction crew begins digging up Sherman Ranch.
For Melanie, the pageant brings back past traumas she cannot forget. Cat, newly sober, begins to feel threatened in ways that awaken old demons. Sarah Lynn comes from a long line of pageant winners and knows that losing is not an option.
As old resentments and new confrontations reach boiling point, a record-setting winter storm brings down the state’s power grid. With everyone trapped beneath one roof, scores will be settled and more than one person will end up dead.
Beauty dies. Secrets never do.
