Patricia Campbell ist unzufrieden. Ihr Mann ist ein Workaholic, ihre beiden süßen Kinder sind zu launischen Teenagern mutiert, und ihre pflegebedürftige Schwiegermutter braucht ständig Aufmerksamkeit. Ihr einziger Lichtblick ist der Buchclub, den sie mit ihren engsten Freundinnen gegründet hat: Hier kann sie ihre Leidenschaft für True Crime und Serienkiller voll und ganz ausleben. Eines Abends wird Patricia von ihrer dementen Nachbarin attackiert, und kurz darauf tritt deren Neffe, James Harris, in Patricias Leben. Der vielgereiste, belesene und unverschämt gutaussehende James weckt Gefühle in Patricia, die sie schon seit Jahren nicht mehr gespürt hat. Doch als im weniger wohlhabenden Viertel der Stadt immer mehr Kinder verschwinden, befürchtet Patricia, dass James mehr Ted Bundy als Brad Pitt ist.

Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award, and from the author of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, comes a New York Times bestselling horror novel that follows a group of heroines to die for. 

In this Southern-flavored supernatural thriller set in the '90s, a women's book club must protect their suburban community from a mysterious and charming stranger who turns out to be a true monster. Patricia Campbell feels her life shrinking; her busy husband neglects her, her children are preoccupied with their own lives, and her senile mother-in-law requires constant attention. The only bright spot is her book club, a tight-knit group of Charleston women who bond over true crime and fiction, discussing everything from the Manson family to marriage and gossip. This routine is disrupted when Patricia meets James Harris, a handsome newcomer who moves in to care for his elderly aunt and joins the club. He captivates Patricia, stirring feelings she hasn't experienced in decades. However, his peculiarities raise red flags: he lacks a bank account, avoids daylight, and her mother-in-law claims to know him from her youth—impossible, given his age. As local children begin to vanish, Patricia and her fellow club members suspect that James is more dangerous than he appears. But their fears are dismissed by outsiders. Have they become too engrossed in their true crime tales, or have they unwittingly welcomed a real monster into their lives?
