Pretty Dead Things

the dazzling new thriller with a jaw-dropping twist from USA TODAY bestselling author

De: Kelsey Cox

Beauty dies. But secrets never do . . .

Twenty-five years ago, Isabelle Whitmore vanished without a trace during the Lone Star Princess Pageant in Anhalt, Texas. This year, the pageant is offering more than just its annual dose of rhinestone heels and plunging necklines - Isabelle's sister, Ingrid Whitmore, is back and looking for revenge.

But just as confrontations and old rivalries reach their boiling point, the temperature plummets: record-breaking snow and freezing rain bring down the state's entire power grid.

With everyone trapped under one roof, secrets will be spilled, scores will be settled - and more than one beautiful liar will end up dead.©2026 Kelsey Cox Writer, Inc. (P)2026 Macmillan Audio
