For fans of Lisa Jewell and Liane Moriarty. Published in 12 countries by Simon & Schuster and Sourcebooks, Kelly's widely praised novels are frequently compared to BIG LITTLE LIES. Kelly's 11th novel, THE OFF SEASON, explodes on the tranquil shores of the Chesapeake Bay. A headstrong thirteen-year-old girl, Vann, insists her mother’s drowning was anything but an accident. She’s forced to tangle with the languid bay police department as well as the year-rounder adults and teens who might be complicit not just in her mother’s death, but a decades-old cold case. Vann will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of her mother's death -- but what will she do when she finds out the answer? With echoes of GONE GIRL and STAND BY ME, it’s part crime, part coming of age about grief and longing.
