Story4 out of 5 stars 4,353
For 12-year-old Cora Landry and her friends Violet and Jordyn, it was supposed to be an ordinary sleepover - movies and Ouija and talking about boys. But when they decide to sneak out to go to the abandoned rail yard on the outskirts of town, little do they know that their innocent games will have dangerous consequences. Later that night, Cora Landry is discovered on the tracks, bloody and clinging to life, her friends nowhere to be found. Soon, their small rural town is thrust into a maelstrom. Who would want to hurt a young girl like Cora - and why?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16,894
Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day. It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica. But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Publisher's summary
From a talented new name in crime fiction comes a gritty tale of how far we'll go to protect the ones we love.
Everyone says the Elders family are nothing but cheats, thieves, and convicts - a fact 19-year-old Jamie Elders has been trying desperately to escape. She may have the natural talent of a poker savant, but her dreams of going pro and getting the hell out of the tiny town of Blind River, New York, are going nowhere fast - especially when she lands in a huge pile of debt to her uncle Loyal.
At Loyal's beck and call until her debt is repaid, Jamie can't easily walk away - not with her younger brother Toby left at his mercy. So when Loyal demands Jamie's help cleaning up a mess late one night, she has no choice but to agree. But disposing of a dead man and covering up his connection to the town's most powerful judge goes beyond family duty. When it comes out that the victim was a beloved athlete and Loyal pins the murder on Toby, only Jamie can save him. But with a dogged detective on her trail and her own future at stake, she'll have to decide: Embrace her inner criminal, or defy it - and face the consequences.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

This “omnimetal” has properties that make it world-changing as an energy source…and a weapon. John Frontier returns for his sister’s wedding to find his family embroiled in a cutthroat war to control mineral rights and mining operations.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

The town of Northfall, Minnesota, will never be the same. Meteors cratered hardwood forests and annihilated homes, and among the wreckage a new metal was discovered. This “omnimetal” has properties that make it world-changing as an energy source…and a weapon. John Frontier returns for his sister’s wedding to find his family embroiled in a cutthroat war to control mineral rights and mining operations. His father rightly suspects foreign leaders and competing corporations of sabotage, but the greatest threat to his legacy might be the US government.

Fired from The Boston Globe, her career in shambles, she reluctantly takes a job with the local paper.

Years earlier, 10-year-old Patty Finch left home and never made it back. But for the people of Hillsborough, Patty was just the beginning.

And then there's the odd addition of a teddy bear left at the crime scene....

Excellent!
Such a good story! Not a thriller but so so interesting. I really enjoyed the narration of the poker games. Perfect narration throughout and a fast moving tale with characters that you feel like you know. A down-on-her-luck story about a teen girl who has to fight and claw for everything she gets. One of my favourite reads this year.

Great for a new writer.
Story was a little slow at first. I’m not all that familiar with how to play poker so that was a little tedious but the story kept me engaged. Brittany Pressley is awesome as usual. Recommend!!

Gritty Debut
This is a gritty debut novel. Teens are living with their uncle “in the system”. Jamie is a card shark at poker. Her Mom’s recently out of prison. Her brother has anger issues. Are we bound by the sins of our mother/father/uncle? Jamie wants out but the chickens have come home to roost. The layers of corruption in this small town can send Jamie’s hopes and dreams crashing down around her. Different POVs show how everyone is doing what is thought in their own sight—even trying to protect each other. I couldn’t help but root for Jamie to make her break from the corruption of the system and heartbreaking poverty.

pleasantly surprised
I had doubts about the book, especially with the first few chapters. I'm glad I stuck it out. Dysfunctional families, crooked judges, criminal behavior and bad luck handed down to each generation, murder, and gambling- all in this book.
