Boys Who Cry Wolf
An unputdownable suburban gothic thriller for YA readers – perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus.
Some towns swallow their secrets whole.
Prophets Lake has one rule: don’t make Florence Cook your enemy.
Seventeen-year-old Kyla Graves learned that lesson too late. When her best friend Erin is found dead, and Erin’s own mother is arrested for the murder, most of the town wants to move on as quickly as possible.
But Kyla can’t move on, because she knows what no one else does. Erin died knowing Florence Cook’s secrets. And now, with her company on the verge of going public, Florence is making very sure the world never finds out what those secrets are.
And so, with the trial underway and the evidence disappearing faster than it surfaces, Kyla and her brother Mikky must expose the truth.
With razor-sharp writing and a tense, atmospheric and twist-filled story, Boys Who Cry Wolf is the unputdownable new thriller from Joelle Wellington, the highly acclaimed author of Girls Who Play Dead – perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus.
