A contemporary reimagining of Little Women in which Beth dies in the first chapter, and her sisters will

stop at nothing to track down her killer - until they begin to suspect each other.

When Beth March is found dead in the woods on New Year's Day, her sisters will stop at nothing to track

down her killer - until they begin to suspect each other.

Jo, an aspiring author with a huge following on social media, would do anything to hook readers. Would

she kill her sister for the story? Amy dreams of studying art in Europe, but she'll need money from her aunt

boyfriend might have done it, and she'll protect him at all costs.

And the March sisters aren't the only ones with a story to tell. There's Theodore Laurence, the neighbour

who has feelings for not one but two of the girls. Meg's manipulative best friend. Amy's flirtatious mentor.

And Beth's lionhearted first love.

But the suspect pool stretches far outside family and friends. Months ago, the March sisters were dragged

into the spotlight when their father published a controversial bestseller about his own daughters, so anyone

could've wanted Beth dead . . .

Told from four perspectives - including Beth's in flashback - Beth Is Dead is both a race to uncover a

killer and a bold reimagining of a story that so many readers know and love.
