About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the critically acclaimed author of One of Us Is Lying comes a new page-turning mystery. Be sure to keep your friends close . . . and your secrets closer.
Four years ago, Brynn left Saint Ambrose School following the shocking murder of her favorite teacher—a story that made headlines after the teacher’s body was found by three Saint Ambrose students in the woods behind their school. The case was never solved. Now that Brynn is moving home and starting her dream internship at a true-crime show, she’s determined to find out what really happened.
The kids who found Mr. Larkin are her way in, and her ex–best friend, Tripp Talbot, was one of them. Without his account of events, the other two kids might have gone down for Mr. Larkin’s murder—but instead, thanks to Tripp, they're now at the top of the Saint Ambrose social pyramid. Tripp’s friends have never forgotten what Tripp did for them that day, and neither has he. Just like he hasn’t forgotten that everything he told the police was a lie.
Digging into the past is bound to shake up the present, and when Brynn begins to investigate what happened in the woods that day, she uncovers secrets that might change everything—about Saint Ambrose, about Mr. Larkin, and about her ex-best friend, Tripp Talbot.
Four years ago someone got away with murder. More terrifying is that they might be closer than anyone thinks.

Our take
A dysfunctional family vacation in a remote Italian villa turns nightmarish in Diavola, Jennifer Marie Thorne’s sly, Gothic horror. Between ghostly warnings and family feuds, Anna’s survival rules might not be enough this time. A USA Today bestseller and Esquire Best Horror Book of 2024 pick, this haunting satire cuts deep—and laughs while it does.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Anna has two rules for every family vacation: tread lightly and survive. But this year’s getaway—a lavish villa in the remote Italian village of Monteperso—might make that impossible. Between her passive twin, overbearing sister, judgmental mother, and self-satisfied father, Anna’s barely holding it together. Then come the strange sounds at night, the warnings from the locals, and whispers of the villa’s bloody history.
What begins as another painful family trip twists into something far darker, where ghosts and grudges blur together and no one escapes unscathed.
Jennifer Marie Thorne’s Diavola is a wickedly funny, beautifully unhinged haunted-house tale about family, isolation, and the monsters we inherit. A USA Today bestseller and Esquire pick for Best Horror Books of 2024, it’s as unsettling as it is sharp.
