Killing Time

By: Brenna Erhlich

Narrated by: Laura Knight Keating

After that summer, Natalie Temple would forever associate the smell of ketchup with death

Summer in Ferry, Connecticut, has always meant long, lazy days at the beach and wild nights partying in the abandoned mansions on the edge of town. Until now, that is.

Natalie Temple, who’s never been one for beaches or parties in the first place, is reeling from the murder of her favorite teacher, and there’s no way this true-crime-obsessed girl is going to sit back and let the rumor mill churn out lie after lie. Not if she has anything to say about it—even if she has to hide her investigation from her disapproving mom and team up with the new boy in town with a mysterious smile and a talent for making fake ID’s …

But the more Natalie uncovers, the more she realizes some secrets were never meant to be told.

With two interwoven mysteries, Killing Time is a deathly warning to a generation of murderinos: What happens when the stories we’re chasing finally catch up with us?
