Old Money

On the Fourth of July, a teenager dies at an exclusive country club. Twenty years later, her cousin returns to her hometown, seeking answers behind closed gates in this rich, atmospheric thriller for fans of Lucy Foley, Liz Moore, and Ruth Ware.

Twenty years ago, sixteen-year-old Caitlin Dale died unexpectedly on the Fourth of July. Like other affluent families of Briar's Green, Caitlin joined hers at the country club's annual party. They say she slipped by the pool. A tragic accident.

But her cousin Alice knows the truth. Caitlin was murdered. And Alice saw who did it.

Twenty years later, Alice returns to her childhood hometown of Briar's Green, seeking answers. The club where Caitlin died has barely changed. But its secrets, Alice soon discovers, are carefully hidden—and there are powerful people in Briar's Green who would like them to stay that way.

In her deliciously dark debut novel, Kelsey Miller transports readers to a brooding enclave reminiscent of Sleepy Hollow, one with a long history, a short fuse, and a narrator determined to seek justice at all costs.

Old Money by Kelsey Miller is stuffed full of small-town secrets and the utter devastation they cause. With plenty of suspects to choose from and a determined heroine who refuses to quit no matter what, this edge-of-your-seat nail-biter will keep you guessing until the very end. Highly recommended!
