A female serial killer reconnects with her twin sister in this novel
by an acclaimed National Book Award winner and “first-rate thriller
writer” (The New York Times Book Review). Demure Lily Merrick is
a dutiful housewife and mother who teaches pottery classes in upstate
New York. Then, out of the blue, her estranged sister, Sharon, shows
up after fifteen years, seeking refuge from her life as a Las Vegas
stripper. At first Lily is overwhelmed and overjoyed. Her daughter and
husband welcome Sharon with open arms, eager to help the seemingly
troubled young woman get a fresh start. But that’s not really what
Sharon wants. Under the alias Starr Bright, Aunt Sharon is the most
wanted female serial killer in the country. Driven by a need for
love and security, she has sought out sex and degradation—leaving
behind a bloody trail of carved-up men in cheap motel rooms from coast
to coast. Now, she’s insinuating herself into the lives of those who
trust and love her. She’s come home to family, and not just to hide.
For her entire life, Sharon has been nursing a poisonous vengeance
that has yet to claim its last victim. And very, very soon, Starr
Bright will strike again. This smart, chilling novel from the #1
New York Times–bestselling author of We Were the Mulvaneys and Black
Water is “a real page-turner” (Library Journal). “Recall that
‘Rosamond Smith’ is the nom de plume of Joyce Carol Oates when
writing her psychological suspense novels a la Ruth Rendell.
Oates-as-Smith has had great practice in limning the type of
personality that results from sexual guilt and craving love, and she
explores it anew” in Starr Bright Will Be with You Soon (Booklist).
