Killing Time - by Brenna Ehrlich (Hardcover)

About the Book

Teenager Natalie Temple investigates the murder of her favorite teacher.

Book Synopsis

"An exciting and whipsmart mystery... Keep your eyes on Ehrlich."
--Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author of Sadie and The Project

"Deathly smart, twisty, and at times wickedly funny, Killing Time is a pitch-perfect mystery."
- Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders

Summer in Ferry, Connecticut, has always meant long, lazy days at the beach and wild nights partying in the abandoned mansions on the edge of town. Until now, that is.

Natalie Temple, who's never been one for beaches or parties in the first place, is reeling from the murder of her favorite teacher, and there's no way this true-crime-obsessed girl is going to sit back and let the rumor mill churn out lie after lie--even if she has to hide her investigation from her disapproving mom and team up with the new boy in town...

But the more Natalie uncovers, the more she realizes some secrets were never meant to be told.

"Expertly-plotted and brimming with suspense, Killing Time is more than just a mystery. It's a thoughtful novel about true crime stories and how we tell them. Brilliant, fun, and utterly compelling."
- Jessica Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of They'll Never Catch Us
