The Thicket: A Thriller

Everyone will hear. No one will listen. Norah’s world shatters when a visit to the Thicket, a fall carnival, turns deadly. One of the victims is her younger brother, Brandon. She left him alone in the wooded maze—and that’s the last place she saw him alive. When the Thicket reopens amidst a storm of media attention, Norah becomes obsessed with the idea of unraveling what really happened the night Brandon died. But the carnival holds more than just traumatic memories: A killer, whose victims were at first mistaken for macabre props, is still on the loose. And throngs of thrill-seekers are still eagerly lining up to purchase tickets. As Norah retraces her brother’s steps through the wooded maze, she begins to suspect that the killer’s choice of hunting ground is no coincidence. And that the nightmare is far from over. “One of the baddest final girls I’ve ever encountered … this nail-biting thriller plummets into your worst dreams and doesn’t stop.” -M.
