A Guardian Best Book of the Year\n\nA Dazed Best Novel of 2023\n\nDo you know what happened already? Did you know her? Did you see it on the internet? Did you listen to a podcast? Did the hosts make jokes?\n\nDid you see the pictures of the body?\n\nDid you look for them?\n\nIt's been nearly a decade since the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Joan Wilson rocked the small seaside town of Crow-on-Sea. Based on hours of interviews with witnesses and family members, and even correspondence with the killers themselves, journalist Alec Z. Carelli has constructed what he claims is the 'definitive account' of the crime. It's a riveting snapshot of lives scarred by tragedy, and a town left in turmoil.\n\nThe only question is: how much of Carelli's story is true?
