This is an auction for BLACK EYED SUSANS by Julia Heaberlin.

“Deliciously twisty and eerie, Heaberlin’s third psychological suspense novel is intricately layered and instantly compelling.”

• a *** starred *** review in Library Journal (US)

"A terrific plot, matched by the quality of the writing and superbly paced tension."--The Times

"Gripping . . . The suspense builds as Tessie uncovers devastating secrets from the past through to the shocking ending."

• Publishers Weekly (US)

“A masterful thriller that shouldn’t be missed - brilliantly conceived, beautifully executed. Both as a portrait of modern, urban Texas, and in terms of suspense, characterizations and storytelling, Black-Eyed Susans is outstanding. The answers are as astonishing as they are finally believable. Julia Heaberlin’s work calls to mind that of Gillian Flynn. Don’t miss it.”

• Washington Post

Amazon.com review:

"As a sixteen-year-old, Tessa Cartwright was found in a Texas field, barely alive amid a scattering of bones, with only fragments of memory as to how she got there. Ever since, the press has pursued her as the lone surviving “Black-Eyed Susan,” the nickname given to the murder victims because of the yellow carpet of wildflowers that flourished above their shared grave. Tessa’s testimony about those tragic hours put a man on death row... Shocking, intense, and utterly original, Black-Eyed Susans is a dazzling psychological thriller, seamlessly weaving past and present in a searing tale of a young woman whose harrowing memories remain in a field of flowers—as a killer makes a chilling return to his garden."
