<p><b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER</b></p><p><b>“Audacious and instantly gripping . . . hums with cinematic tension, echoing classic thrillers without tipping into pastiche. . . . In Madden’s vision, justice is partial at best and closure rare—and yet <i>Whidbey</i> is deeply satisfying." — Catherine Chidgey, <i>New York Times Book Review</i></b></p><p><b>"There is, to put it simply, no book quite like <i>Whidbey</i>." —<i>Vogue</i> </b></p><p><b>A portrait of three women connected through one man in the aftermath of his murder—a stunning literary achievement and the explosive and highly anticipated debut novel from beloved award-winning memoirist T Kira Madden. </b></p><p>Birdie Chang didn’t know anything about Whidbey Island when she chose it, only that it was about as far away as she could get from her own life.

Soon after, on the other side of the country, Calvin’s loving mother, Mary-Beth, receives a shocking phone call from the police: her only son has been murdered.</p><p>Calvin’s death sets into motion a series of events that sends each woman on a desperate search for answers. A complex whodunit told from alternating points of view, Whidbey is searingly perceptive and astonishingly original. Exploring the long reach of violence and our flawed systems of incarceration and
