From the author of Buried Deep and The House on the Water comes a shocking thriller about a young podcaster who’s investigating a cold case in her hometown and determined to uncover the truth at any cost.
Paige Barrett was living her dream as a journalist in New York City, racking up bylines as a staff writer at The Razor, a cutting-edge online magazine. But when she’s suddenly fired from her job and dumped by her boyfriend, she finds herself back home in the quaint seaside town of Shoreham, Florida, waiting tables and living in her sister’s guesthouse.
Restless and itching for something meaningful to occupy her time, she decides to launch a true-crime podcast about the death of Jessica Cady, a beloved teacher who died mysteriously 20 years earlier. The case went cold with no leads and no suspects, but the more Paige digs into the woman’s death, the closer she comes to a killer. In a small town like Shoreham, it’s impossible to keep a secret forever.
Official Summary
10 February 2023
I was looking for something quick to keep me entertained and found this book on Audible. I am new to the author and did not know what to expect. Well, this short story sure kept me intrigued.
While it is short, which left it feeling a little rushed, I found myself enjoying it. I am keen to spend some time seeing what else this author has to offer. I guess this novella had just enough to leave me eager for more from Margot Hunt.
Tell Her Story is fast-paced and to the point, I found it a little predictable however it still managed to keep my attention as I listened while doing other stuff.
I enjoyed Paige Barret, the author managed to bring her life very quickly, leaving you able to picture this young woman as the story unfolds.
If you are looking for a quick, fast-paced, short story that will help you fill the time or just reach your reading goal, then this is the book for you.

Lovely Girls
A mother and daughter try to start over in an idyllic town only to get caught up in cliques, mind games…and murder.
After the sudden death of her husband, Kate Turner is looking for a fresh start for herself and her teenage daughter, Alex. They relocate to the beachside town of Shoreham, Florida, where all is not as sunny as it seems.
Although Kate makes fast friends with a trio of fellow moms, their daughters take an instant dislike to Alex, who attempts to document their bullying in her video diary. Kate brushes off Alex’s concerns—until she receives a series of chilling warnings about the clique of moms from other parents and neighbors. As it becomes harder for her to ignore the malicious undercurrent she senses among her new friends, Kate grows increasingly unsure of who to believe—and who to trust.
As small-town gossip weaves a harrowing web of jealousy, deceit, and betrayal, Kate and Alex discover that whether you’re in or out, the status quo can turn on you deadly fast.
