New York Times bestselling author Kate White returns with a gripping story about a true-crime reporter uncovering the secrets that lie beneath the surface of a placid small town, perfect for readers of Jessica Knoll, Alafair Burke, and Liv Constantine. Blonde. Beautiful. A loving mother. And missing since Monday. On a sunny morning in late September, Shannon Blaine sets off for a jog along the rural roads near her home in Lake George, New York.  It’s her usual a.m. routine, her “me time” after dropping the kids off at school…except on this day she never returns. Is her husband lying when he says he has no clue where she is? Could Shannon have split on her own, overwhelmed by the pressures of her life? Or is she the victim of a sexual predator who had been prowling the area and snatched her before she knew what was happening. True crime writer Bailey Weggins, on assignment for the website  Crime Beat , heads north from New York City to report on the mysterious disappearance. An anonymous tip soon leads Bailey to a grisly, bone-chilling discovery. Every town has its secrets, Bailey reminds herself, and nothing is ever as perfect as it seems. She keeps digging for answers until—when it’s almost too late—she unearths the terrifying truth. Praise for Even If It Kills Her : “White builds suspense masterfully, and this seventh in the Bailey Weggins series has the makings of another hit. Bailey is a smart, sexy sleuth, and her exploits make for thoroughly entertaining reading.” - Booklist “Compulsively readable and skillfully plotted, Even If It Kills Her is Kate White’s dynamic return to the Bailey Weggins series. It entertains and excites from the very first page—I dare you to put it down!” - Karin Slaughter, New York Times and International Bestselling Author “Well-executed...The smaller the town, the bigger (and dirtier) its secrets.” - Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Secrets You Keep: “True to form, Kate White’s  The Secrets You Keep  kept me up way past my bedtime, anxiously turning the pages. Taut, tense, and utterly gripping, I could not go to sleep until I found out whodunit.” - Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive “Suspenseful, twisty and sharply observed, Kate White’s clever psychological thriller lures us into the life of vulnerable narrator Bryn whose marriage is not what she thought it was. The uncertainty develops as the stakes ramp up ever higher, and I was holding my breath as I turned the last few pages.” - Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of What She Knew “Intrepid—and stylish!—crime reporter Bailey Weggins finds herself on the front line of a murder investigation. . . . Fun and fast-paced. . . . Bailey is fearless, determined, and always fashionable. A grown-up Nancy Drew for grown-up girl detectives.” - Kirkus Reviews “ Highly entertaining. . . .The ethical and tenacious Bailey soon earns the respect of the local police, who come to see her as an ally rather than an intruder. Readers will cheer her every step of the way.” - Publishers Weekly “An always-entertaining series.” - Booklist “Intricately plotted. . . . [an] intense page-turner that never lets up.” - Library Journal, Starred Review and “Pick of the Month” “What’s not to love in Kate White’s latest? . . . . Such A Perfect Wife is deep and dark and twisty, and packed with a delicious array of questionable characters, each harboring their own secrets.” - Entertainment Weekly Blonde. Beautiful.
