Summary

The highly anticipated young adult thriller about a serial killer’s daughter and her race to solve the crimes of her family’s twisted past before it’s too late — from E. Kennedy, aka New York Times bestselling romance author Elle Kennedy! Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.

The world is hunting for answers. But what if the truth leads straight to you?

Ryan Shipley is back in Starling, Tennessee. It’s been ten years since her father, the infamous serial killer Gabriel Thorn, was caught. No one can know who Ryan really is. No one can know the truth about her past.

But as fresh eyes dig deeper into the case, old secrets refuse to stay buried. Cryptic texts, eerie coincidences, and a chilling note leave everyone wondering – does Ryan know more than she’s letting on? As the truth unravels, one thing becomes clear: in a town full of secrets, Ryan might be the biggest mystery of them all.

Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus – get ready for a thriller packed with twists you won’t see coming.

Critic reviews

"A taut, empathetic thriller.” – Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"Appealingly creepy and dark.” – Kirkus Reviews

"Incredibly dark and tense, Thornbird is a masterful thriller that bubbles with suspense from page one. It never shies away from its deeply unsettling premise, and Ryan Shipley is a flawed, heart-breaking main character whose journey to uncover the truth about her family's past is utterly gripping. I loved it"
