For fans of Lisa Jewell and Liane Moriarty. Published in 12 countries by Simon & Schuster and Sourcebooks, Kelly's widely praised novels are frequently compared to BIG LITTLE LIES. THE OFF SEASON explodes on the tranquil shores of the Chesapeake Bay. A headstrong thirteen-year-old girl insists her mother's drowning was anything but an accident. She's forced to tangle with the languid bay police department as well as the year-rounder adults and teens who might be complicit not just in her mother's death, but a decades-old cold case. With echoes of GONE GIRL and STAND BY ME, it's part crime, part coming of age about grief and longing.
