In this debut from a longtime editor in the publishing industry, 25-year-old maid Molly Gray has always had trouble reading social signals. She used to depend on her recently deceased gran to help her, but she's on her own when she finds a guest murdered in bed and is compelled to investigate; the police have tagged her as the most likely suspect. Subject to a blazing auction, this locked-room mystery has been optioned by Universal, with Academy Award-nominated Florence Pugh attached to star. In the latest from No. 1 New York Times best-selling Chamberlain, Kayla Carter mourns the husband who died building their dream house in a North Carolina community. Warnings-from not one but two older women-not to move into the house eventually lead to a story of prejudice and violence that rocked the community a half-century earlier. With a 150,000-copy first printing.
