In the vein of Big Little Lies , Nina Monroe 's suspense debut explores the dangerous side of suburbia.
Nothing ever happens in a sleepy town like Middlebrook.
Until the residents are shaken to their core, when one hot Saturday afternoon, at a back-to-school party, nine children sneak into a barn.
and only eight come out unharmed.
The press immediately starts asking questions.
What type of parents let their children play unsupervised in a house with guns? What kind of child pulls the trigger on their friend? And most importantly: of the nine children who were present in that barn, which one actually pulled the trigger, and why are the others staying silent? Incredibly gripping and gorgeously written, this thought-provoking novel asks how much our children are capable of, and how far we will go to protect them.
