The Quarry Girls is a story of secrets gone to seed, and Lourey gives readers her best novel yet-which is quite the accomplishment. Her fictional stories feel rooted in a world we all know but also fear. “Few authors can blend the genuine fear generated by a sordid tale of true crime with evocative, three-dimensional characters and mesmerizing prose like Jess Lourey. But she can’t stop digging because she knows those girls are in danger. Not the police, not the boys she met at the quarry, not even her parents. Desperately searching for answers on her own, she learns that no one in her community is who they seem to be. Heather is terrified that the missing girls are connected to what she and Brenda stumbled upon that night. And yet the authorities are reluctant to investigate. But their vow is tested when their friend disappears-the second girl to vanish in a week. But for two best friends, it’s not all fun and games.
For the teens of one close-knit community, summer means late-night swimming parties at the quarry, the county fair, and venturing into the tunnels beneath the city. From the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Unspeakable Things and Bloodline comes a nerve-twisting novel inspired by a shocking true crime.
