The Guilty Ones by Kyla Stone
English | 2025 | Mystery & Thriller
Perfect mothers. Perfect daughters. Perfect lies.
After the sudden tragic death of her husband, Dahlia Kincaid and her 14-year-old daughter Mia move to the upscale lakefront community of Blackthorn Shores in desperate hope of a fresh start.
When the neighborhood queen bee unexpectedly welcomes her into their elite circle, Dahlia believes she’s finally found belonging for herself and for Mia, as the glamorous, popular daughters of the neighborhood welcome Mia into their tight-knit clique. Everything seems perfect.
Until an eighth-grade girl is found dead after a neighborhood slumber party.
Suspicion quickly falls on Mia, the awkward outsider. Ugly rumors swirl. Abruptly ostracized by the same women who once embraced her, Dahlia makes a chilling discovery—the exclusive community she fought so hard to join might sacrifice her daughter to protect their own.
As the police close in, Mia withdraws into traumatized silence, until even Dahlia questions what her daughter might be hiding. What really happened that night? Was it truly an accident? Or did something more sinister occur? What does Mia know that she’s afraid to say?
To save her daughter, Dahlia must uncover the truth herself. For the most dangerous secrets lurk behind the prettiest facades.
One thing Dahlia knows for sure: Someone in picture-perfect Blackthorn Shores is a killer.
