“Deathly smart, twisty, and at times wickedly funny, Killing Time is a pitch-perfect mystery.”
- Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders
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—even if she has to hide her investigation from her disapproving mom and team up with the new boy in town…
But the more Natalie uncovers, the more she realizes some secrets were never meant to be told.
"Expertly-plotted and brimming with suspense, Killing Time is more than just a mystery. It's a thoughtful novel about true crime stories and how we tell them. Brilliant, fun, and utterly compelling."
- Jessica Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of They'll Never Catch Us

“In Killing Time, Brenna Ehrlich has crafted an utterly compelling, pulse-pounding, spider web of a thriller. And like a spider web, once it grabs you, it won’t let go.”—Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King and In the Wild Light
“The novel thoughtfully examines the sometimes-exploitative, often titillating nature of the true-crime phenomenon while also, in a fine balancing act, paying homage to it… A layered tale of true crime, family ties, and unveiled secrets.”
"An exciting and whipsmart mystery... Keep your eyes on Ehrlich."
