The Darkest Corners | September 22, 2016

by Kara Thomas (Delacorte Press/Random House Children’s Books, April 2016)

Once Gillian Flynn’s GONE GIRL hit the big screen in 2014, it was only a matter of time before the gritty thriller genre made it to YA. As a big mystery/thriller fan, I was very glad to get my hands on a copy of Kara Thomas’ THE DARKEST CORNERS, in which 18-year-old Tessa begins to unravel a years-old mystery surrounding a serial killer in the small town in which she grew up. Tessa and her childhood best friend gave case-winning testimony to the case’s prosecutors when they were only 8-years-old, but now they’re starting to question what really happened on that fateful night, and if the person that went to jail as a result of their testimony was really the killer. The answers to those questions have far-reaching consequences for the town, Tessa, and her family. Fans of mysteries and thrillers will love this gripping, page-turning read, with a  surprise twist around every corner!
