Kaylani McKinnon’s summer on Martha’s Vineyard was supposed to be a break from her Brooklyn life, where her dad’s locked up and she’s stuck carrying the weight of his absence. But the fancy house she’s staying in with family friends feels cold, and the rich kids, like snobby London, aren’t exactly rolling out the welcome mat.

Her knack for spotting lies puts her in deeper than she expected, where secrets bubble up that could shake her world to its core.

This audiobook weaves a chilling mystery with heart and humor, set against the vibrant backdrop of Martha’s Vineyard’s Black history, keeping you guessing through every twist until the shocking end.
