In a gripping novel perfect for fans of Sadie and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, two best friends start a true crime podcast—only to realize they may have helped a killer in the process.
In August of 1999, dazzlingly popular cheerleader Clarissa Campbell disappears from a party in the woods outside the rural town of Oreville, Washington and is never seen again. The police question her friends, teachers, and the adults who knew her—who all have something to hide. And thanks to Clarissa’s beauty, the mystery captures the attention of the nation. But with no leads and no body, the case soon grows cold. Despite the efforts of internet sleuths and true-crime aficionados, Clarissa is never found—dead or alive.
Over twenty years later, Oreville high-school juniors and best friends Blair and Cameron start a true crime podcast, determined to unravel the story of what—or who—happened to this rural urban legend. In the process they uncover a nest of dirty small-town secrets, the sordid truth of Clarissa’s relationship with her charismatic boyfriend, and a high school art teacher turned small-town figurehead who had a very good reason for wanting Clarissa dead. Such a good reason, in fact, that they might have to make him the highlight of their next episode…
But does an ugly history with a missing girl make him guilty of murder? Or are two teenage girls about to destroy the life of an innocent man—and help the true killer walk free?

Why I’m Waiting: Y’all know this is a Holly Jackson stan account, and this one sounds so much like AGGGTM that there is no way I couldn’t be excited about it. So imagine my surprise when I had never heard of this book before but it landed in my inbox! LISSTEN, WEDNESDAY BOOKS IDK WHAT I DID, BUT PLEASE TELL ME SO I CAN KEEP DOING IT. But now I keep thinking about this book and how I already want to read it and it’s not out til 2023. I think someone randomly saw my call for books with Cold Cases because I binged the tv series on Hulu and I needed more cold cases that were solved. Even if they were fiction. This sounds right up my alley and I can’t wait to read it!
What about you? Will you read this? Do you think it sounds like me? Did you read AGGGTM? Let me know in the comments!
