Publisher's Summary

A Reese Witherspoon book club pick

 A Sunday Times crime club pick

 Winner of Stylist book wars

 The Pool's december bedtime book club pick

 Shortlisted for amazon's best mystery/thriller of the year 

As the party of the year gets underway, celebrities and patrons pour into the Rocque Museum to see Kim Lord - L.A.'s artist of the moment - stabbed, strangled, shot, and beaten. It's the opening night of Still Lives, Kim's new collection of shockingly graphic self-portraits, in which she impersonates the victims of America's most famous homicides, from Nicole Brown Simpson to the Black Dahlia.
 

The crowd eagerly await Kim's arrival, but she fails to appear at the gala. Among those gathered is Maggie Richter, a museum editor whose ex, Greg Shaw Ferguson, is in a relationship with Kim. When Kim is declared officially missing, and Greg is arrested on suspicion of murder, Maggie is drawn into an investigation of her own, haunted by the thought that Kim has suffered the same terrible fate as the women in her paintings. 

Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Sharp Objects and Big Little Lies.

"A taut thriller...she writes a hell of an ending." (LA Review of Books)

Worth The Credit

This was a good listen. It did drag a little but it was good. The twist was a surprise to me. I would absolutely recommend!

Kept listening for it to improve but ... 🤨

Ugh! The Narration. Could have possibly saved the plot that skipped around, was dull & long-winded and difficult to follow. Instead the narration made it an almost unbearable listen. Again. ugh. The art world concept interesting but barely accessible to the average punter .. this could have been a redeeming feature but....ugh
