Synopses & Reviews
When Libby Day was seven years old, her mother and two sisters were murdered in The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas. Thinking about that night sends Libby straight into what she calls her Darkplace.
Michelle was strangled. Debby was chopped up with an axe. And Patty Day's head was blown off with a shotgun.
Darkplace.
As the prosecution's star witness, Libby testified that she saw her brother Ben — then 15 — commit the crime. Little Libby escaped into the freezing January snow, losing a few fingers and toes but saving her life. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and Libby is living off the dregs of a trust fund that was set up for her after the murders.
When the Kill Club, a macabre social group obsessed with infamous crimes — and believers in Ben's innocence — reaches out to her, Libby hatches a plan to profit from her tragic history: Contact everyone tied to the events of that January night and report back her findings for a fee. And maybe she'll admit her testimony wasn't so solid after all.
Interspersed with Libby's investigation are the events of that day, told through the eyes of her doomed family members — including Ben. Piece by piece, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself back in her Darkplace — and fighting for her life.
