AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Pitch-perfect... Dean tells this story with such nuance and humanity, you're desperate to step into its pages." --The New York Times "Heart-stopping psychological drama... A modern-day classic." --Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author "A gripping story about family dynamics and the nature of human psychology." --Good Housekeeping She thought she had escaped her past. But there are some things you can't outrun. Lex Gracie doesn't want to think about her family. She doesn't want to think about growing up in her parents' House of Horrors. And she doesn't want to think about her identity as Girl A: the girl who escaped, the eldest sister who freed her older brother and four younger siblings. It's been easy enough to avoid her parents--her father never made it out of the House of Horrors he created, and her mother spent the rest of her life behind bars. But when her mother dies in prison and leaves Lex and her siblings the family home, she can't run from her past any longer. Together with her sister, Evie, Lex intends to turn the home into a force for good. But first she must come to terms with her siblings--and with the childhood they shared. What begins as a propulsive tale of escape and survival becomes a gripping psychological family story about the shifting alliances and betrayals of sibling relationships--about the secrets our siblings keep, from themselves and each other. Who have each of these siblings become? How do their memories defy or galvanize Lex's own? As Lex pins each sibling down to agree to her family's final act, she discovers how potent the spell of their shared family mythology is, and who among them remains in its thrall and who has truly broken free. For readers of Room and Sharp Objects, an absorbing and psychologically immersive novel about a young girl who escapes captivity-but not the secrets that shadow the rest of her life.

"A gripping examination of a community devastated by a school shooting and the 'truthers' who deny it ever happened. Within that story is a girl who's hiding what she knows about what happened that day. A chilling, thought-provoking read. Brilliant." --Shari Lapena, New York Times-bestselling author of Everyone Here Is Lying and The Couple Next Door A village hall, a primary-school play, a beautiful Lake District town in England. Into this idyllic scene steps a lone gunman whose actions set off a chain of events that will have devastating consequences for the close-knit community of Stonesmere. In the weeks following the cataclysm, conspiracy theorists start questioning what happened. Two young people find themselves at the epicenter of the uproar: Marty, the town's golden girl and daughter of a teacher killed that day, and Trent, whose memories of his brief time trying to fit into Stonesmere fuel his attachment to the conspiracies. But what really happened at the Day One assembly? What secrets is Marty keeping and what blind spots does Trent miss? In this world where news travels fast and videos and gossip travel faster, how does a community move forward together? Opening with a gripping moment of terror and then jumping forward in time to show how secrets, trauma, miscommunications, and unrequited feelings reverberate over a lifetime, Abigail Dean once again delivers "a riveting page-turner, full of hope in the face of despair" (Sophie Hannah, The Guardian).

"A page-turner par excellence, written with unobtrusive brilliance, and] full of sharply observed lines . . . The Death of Us lives up to the hype." --Stephen King "The Death of Us is astonishingly good--Abigail Dean's the real thing."--Mick Herron, bestselling author of Slow Horses "A devastating exploration of the long-term effects of violence . . . b]y focusing on the victims rather than on, say, the drama around the police investigation, this wrenching book subverts the normal conventions of a serial killer novel. It's an unusual and effective approach."--The New York Times Book Review It's the night we never talk about. It's the story the world wants to hear.But this isn't the story of that night. This is the story of us. Together, Edward and Isabel move to London. They are young and in love, occupied by friends, work and fun. But late on a spring evening when they are thirty years old, their home is invaded by a serial killer. In the wake of this violation, each tries to come to terms with a night that changed everything--and their marriage begins to crumble. Twenty-five years later, their tormentor is caught, and Edward and Isabel reunite for his sentencing. Isabel has waited years for the man who nearly ended her life to be brought to justice. Edward has tried to think about anything else. As they prepare to deliver impact statements in the public eye, it is time to revisit their love story. Will they finally be able to confront the secrets, longings and lies that tore them apart? Or will the horror of that night be the death of them? A captivating portrait of a marriage and its implosion, The Death of Us digs into the stories we tell ourselves about love--and everything love can bear.

Hva skjuler vi for hverandre, og kan vi stole på minnene våre? Som fremgangsrik advokat i New York har Lex greid å holde de smertefulle minnene litt på avstand, men da moren dør i fengselet, og søskenflokken arver barndomshjemmet det er knyttet så mye vondt til, blir hun innhentet av fortiden.

”Nimeni on Alexandra Gracie, ja minä olen viisitoistavuotias. Soittakaa poliisille.”Lex ei halua ajatella perhettään. Hän ei halua ajatella kammottavaa lapsuuttaan, eikä sitä, että maailman silmissä hän on Tyttö A - se Gracien suurperheen lapsi, joka pakeni kotoaan Kauhujen talosta. Mutta kun Lexin äiti kuolee vankilassa ja jättää perinnöksi talon, jossa kaikki tapahtui, on Lexin kohdattava menneisyytensä ja sisaruksensa uudelleen.Tositapauksesta inspiraationsa saanut menestysteos on raastava mutta kaunis kuvaus luhistumisesta, selviytymisestä ja sisaruussuhteista, jotka sekä koskettavat että viiltävät syvältä. Mihin on ryhdyttävä selviytyäkseen kaikkein pahimmasta?Abigail Dean on brittiläinen juristi, jonka esikoisteos Tyttö A on lyhyessä ajassa noussut kirjallisuusmaailman sensaatioksi: sen oikeudet on myyty 36 kielialueelle ja siitä on tekeillä Sony Pictures Entertainmentin tuottama televisiosarja. Dean kirjoittaa parhaillaan toista romaaniaan.”Paras trilleri sitten Gone Girlin.” - Elle“Täydellinen. Aito, inhimillinen ja toivoa täynnä.” - Guardian”Romaani, jota luet kolmeen asti aamulla.” - Sunday Times
