À propos de cet audio

Don’t miss this “breakneck thriller” that examines “our culture’s obsession with serial killers and true crime” (Harper’s Bazaar) as it follows two women on the pursuit of justice against all odds. “A fascinating look at true crime and tabloid culture that’s as thoughtful as it is gripping” (People).

An Edgar Award Finalist for Best Novel

Masterfully blending elements of psychological suspense and true crime, Jessica Knoll—bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive and the writer behind the Netflix adaptation starring Mila Kunis—delivers an “unflinching and evocative” (Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author) thriller in Bright Young Women.

The book opens on a Saturday night in 1978, hours before a soon-to-be-infamous murderer descends upon a Florida sorority house with deadly results. The lives of those who survive, including a sorority president and key witness, Pamela Schumacher, are forever changed. Across the country, Tina Cannon is convinced her missing friend was targeted by the man the papers refer to as the All-American Sex Killer—and that he’s struck again. Determined to find justice, the two join forces as their search for answers leads to a final, shocking confrontation.

With award-winning storytelling, “Bright Young Women doesn’t put its focus on the murderer. It’s more interested in his victims—and the survivors who are on a mission to catch him before he kills again” (Time). Blisteringly paced, it is a “compelling, almost hypnotic read and I loved it with a passion” (Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author).

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Led by Tony Award-winning actor Sutton Foster, a group of narrators (Imani Jade Powers, Corey Brill, and Chris Henry Coffey) share duties narrating the fictionalized story of two women whose lives intersect via their brush with serial killer Ted Bundy. Pamela, a Florida State sorority president, escapes his attack on her house, while Ruth, a troubled young woman in Washington state, may have been one of his victims...Foster is the star here, but the whole production underscores Knoll’s insistence that victims, not perpetrators, should be remembered." (Connie Ogle)

A book that so badly needed to be written and should be read by everyone! Wow! Just wow!

Wow!

Good story to hear the other side of peoples sadness and what they may feel surrounding such loss. He doesn’t deserve to be mentioned which I agree with. Didn’t think we needed the added male voices/parts towards the end as well.

Sad but interesting

This story revolves around the chaos left behind by “a defendant” after he kills women at a sorority house one horrible night in 1978. It asks that we consider how serial killers are glorified while their victims suffer not only by the act itself but also by the way society has become drawn to them in media. Because of this, I don’t even want to utter his name out of respect for the lives he irrevocably damaged.

A great story!

I think everyone should read this, it’s so well written and an important perspective that doesn’t get portrayed enough in the media.

Absolutely LOVED

I really liked a fictional focus on the survivors and victims. It did take me a while to really get in it but I did find it satisfying in the end.

Feminist perspective on one of the most famous murder sprees in the '70s.

The narrators did a great job of telling this story. Not mentioning his name but only calling him The Defendant. Heartbreaking story but told from a new perspective of the bright young women who were murdered.

Creepily good story

The way the story is structured is perfect. Ruth and Pamela's journeys are harrowing and incredibly moving. Recommend!

Phenomenally moving.

Loved the story, can someone please tell me when the pronunciation of “ed” became “t”? Didn’t turns into dit’nt! Was totally distracted by Pamela’s chapters! Frustrating

Good listen

Fascinating and heartbreaking, this is the kind of serial killer story we have all been waiting for, even if we don’t yet know it.

Absolutely stunning
