About the Book
Such a Clever Girl
Darby Kane, author of the #1 international bestseller PRETTY LITTLE WIFE, returns with a gripping domestic thriller in which a family goes missing and a long-buried family mystery resurfaces.
15 years ago, the Tanner family vanished without a trace, leaving behind a chilling scene: half-eaten meals, a bloodstain by the door and a smoldering fire consuming their business across town.
The once-vibrant home stands untouched, a haunting relic of the past. As rumors fade into local folklore, the mystery of their disappearance seems destined to remain unsolved --- until Aubrey Tanner returns.
Now a hardened 30-year-old, Aubrey arrives in town with secrets etched in her silence. Why did she come back? Was she a victim of the night that changed everything, or does she hold the truth of what happened to her family? The town is rife with theories, but three women share a dangerous bond: they know more than they’ve ever confessed.
As the past resurfaces, old alliances fray. A teacher, a café owner and a psychologist are drawn together by memories they’d rather forget. Each holds a piece of the puzzle --- and a dark secret of their own. When a new disappearance sends shock waves through the town, blackmail begins and the stakes climb higher.
In a race against time, these women must confront the truth or risk becoming the next victims of a past they cannot escape. With tension rising and danger lurking, one thing is clear: someone is destined to kill again.
