STACIE GREY at Books Inc. Alameda

Meet local author, Stacie Grey, for the launch party of her debut novel, She Left! Stacie will be joined in conversation by bestselling mystery writer Michelle Chouinard. Twenty years ago, she survived. This time she may not be so lucky... As a teenager, Amy Therese Brewer argued with her friends and stormed out of a party—moments before the five other teens were brutally murdered. Now, on the anniversary of those deaths, ten people with connections to the crime have been invited to a remote cliffside house by a journalist looking to do a story about the so-called Memorial Day Massacre. But the group quickly learns the event is not what it seems. As a storm closes in and guests begin to die, Therese realizes there is someone in the house who knows more than they admit about what happened that night long ago, and they will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. "Deliciously twisty—Agatha Christie would be spellbound." — M.M. Chouinard, USA Today Bestselling author of The Dancing Girls "In this engrossing mystery, a vividly drawn cast of characters, claustrophobic setting, and propulsive pacing will keep you flipping the pages until the final twist that will leave you reeling. Grey skillfully and lovingly plays within the rules of the genre while also bringing a fresh voice and perspective to the And Then There Were None premise that will delight not just Agatha Christie fans but fans of tense, clever and goosebump-inducing stories, as well. Clear your calendar for the day, because this is a one-sitting read!" — Brianna Labuskes, best-selling author of A Familiar Sight "Knives Out meets Lucy Foley's The Hunting Party in this tense, locked-room mystery. Be wary of invitations where everyone could be a suspect." — Georgina Cross, author of One Night, Nanny Needed, and The Stepdaughter "Readers who were raised on a steady diet of Agatha Christie will find much to love in She Left—the intriguing cast of suspects, the red herrings scattered through the story, and the sleuth who has to put it all together to get herself to safety. Grey's story is a satisfying riff on the classic mystery story structure that will keep readers guessing until the end." — Eva Jurczyk, author of The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections
