The Turnout by Megan AbbottRead about the other entries on the list.
Not for the faint of heart, this unsettling and at times uncomfortable book takes a long, dark dive into the world of ballet. Sisters Marie and Dara, along with Dara’s husband Charlie, run a ballet studio once owned by their mother. Their claustrophobic world is disrupted when a fire damages the school, necessitating repairs. The contractor the three hire proves a corrosive, dangerous force. This book oozes atmosphere and dread, creating a fascinating portrait of the sisters and their deeply intertwined lives.
The Turnout is among M. M. (Marjorie) DeLuca's six psychological suspense stories that feature young protagonists and Lynn Slaughter's five memorable mysteries for performing arts lovers.
