A Best Book of the Year
Daily Telegraph * Daily Mirror * Daily Express * Wall Street Journal * Boston Globe * Library Journal * CrimeReads
An instant New York Times best seller
Short-listed, CrimeFest e-Dunnit Awards, GB, 2022
The mesmerising new thriller, set in the hothouse world of a ballet school, from the best-selling and award-winning writer Megan Abbott.
Dara and Marie were trained as ballet dancers by their glamorous mother, founder of the Durant School of Dance. After their parents died in a tragic accident nearly a dozen years ago, the sisters took over running the school together with Charlie, Dara's husband and once their mother's prized student. But when a suspicious accident occurs, just at the onset of the school's annual performance of The Nutcracker - a season of competition, anxiety and exhilaration—an interloper arrives and threatens their delicate balance.
