The Weight of Lies, by Emily CarpenterRead about another entry on the list.
This atmospheric Southern Gothic is the story of Meg, who is investigating the 40-year-old murder that inspired her mother’s bestselling horror novel. She hasn’t had the easiest or happiest of childhoods (who does in a Gothic?) so she accepts an offer to write a tell-all memoir about her mother and the cult classic that defined her life. She meets the woman rumored to be the inspiration for the story. Secrets, lies and deception lurks around every delicious corner in this page-turner you won’t be able to put down.
