Frozen Beauty

Everyone in Devil’s Lake knows the three golden Malloy sisters—but one of them is keeping a secret that will turn their little world inside out….

No one knows exactly what happened to Kit in the woods that night—not even her sisters, Tessa and Lilly. All they have are a constellation of facts: icy blue lips and fingers cold to the touch, a lacy bra, an abandoned pick-up truck with keys still in the ignition.

Even though everyone is quick to jump to conclusions, Tessa is certain that her sister’s killer wasn’t Boyd, the boy next door whom they’ve all loved in their own way. Still, there are too many details that don’t add up, too many secrets tucked away in the past.

But no matter how fiercely Tessa searches for answers, at the core of that complicated night is a truth that’s heartbreakingly simple.

In a town drowning in secrets, who can she trust?

• Complicated Sister Relationships: Tessa always felt like a shadow next to her perfect older sister, Kit. But to find the truth about her death, she’ll have to uncover the secrets Kit was hiding from everyone—including her own family.
• Dual Timeline: The story unfolds in two timelines, revealing the “before” that led to Kit’s final, fateful night and the “now” of Tessa’s desperate search for a killer.
• Secrets and Lies: A constellation of chilling clues—a lacy bra, an abandoned truck, a lost ring—points to a history of hidden relationships and betrayals in the town of Devil’s Lake.
• A Heart-Pounding Murder Investigation: While everyone believes Boyd is guilty, Tessa is the only one willing to risk everything to find the real killer before they can strike again.
