LITTLE THREATS
Both a taut whodunit and a haunting snapshot of the effects of a violent crime, this novel is a compulsively readable look at the new questions and old secrets that surface after a young woman is released from prison.
In the summer of 1993, twin sisters Kennedy and Carter Wynn delight in being their parents' worst nightmares, embracing grunge music and fashion and testing all the limits in their privileged Virginia suburb. But their teenage rebellion goes too far when, after a night of partying, their best friend Haley Kimberson is found stabbed to death, and suspicion quickly falls upon Kennedy. She can't remember anything, and this, along with damning testimony from the older boy who both Kennedy and Haley loved, is enough to force Kennedy to enter a guilty plea in exchange for a 15-year prison sentence.
In 2008, Kennedy is released into a world that has moved on without her. Carter has grown distant as she questions Kennedy's innocence and begins a relationship with Haley's younger brother. The twins' widower father is a broken man eager to ignore the crime that changed the family forever. But Kennedy's return shatters the fragile existence of both the Wynn and Kimberson families, bringing the tragedy back to the surface, along with a whole new wave of media. When a television producer comes to town asking questions, murky memories of Haley's death resurface, along with new suspects.
LITTLE THREATS is a sharp and suspenseful look at what happens when the past catches up to us.
Emily Schultz is the author of The Blondes (Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's), which was named a Best Book of 2015 by NPR, BookPage, and Kirkus. She is a producer at indie media company Heroic Collective and lives in Brooklyn.
