Nearly Gone

Nearly Boswell #1 / 2
by Elle Cosimano
Nearly Gone (Nearly Boswell #1) by Elle Cosimano
Unrated

Keeping secrets is second nature to Nearly Boswell. Living in a trailer park outside Washington, DC, with a mom who works as an exotic dancer, she knows better than to share anything that would make her a target with her classmates. Only her best friends know about her obsession with the personal ads, and Nearly hasn't told anyone about the emotions she can taste when she brushes against someone's skin.

Then a serial killer goes on a murder spree and starts attacking students, leaving cryptic ads in the newspaper. Nearly might be the one person who can put all the clues together, and if she doesn't figure it out soon - she'll be next.

Big, dark, scary, and brilliantly plotted, Nearly Gone will leave you guessing until the very end.

Born with a curiosity for the darker corners of the human experience, Elle's early love for storytelling led her down a path filled with unexpected twists—just like the characters in her books. Her debut novel, Nearly Gone, captured the attention of both readers and critics alike, earning her a spot as a finalist for the prestigious Edgar Award. From there, Elle's career blossomed, with subsequent works like Holding Smoke and The Suffering Tree continuing to explore complex emotions and high-stakes drama.

However, it was Finlay Donovan Is Killing It, her transition into adult fiction, that truly showcased Elle's ability to blend humor with suspense in a way few authors can. The book follows Finlay, a struggling writer who finds herself accidentally embroiled in a crime spree, and its blend of dark humor and gripping action struck a chord with readers across the globe. This series, which has become a beloved favorite, exemplifies Elle's knack for creating likable, flawed protagonists and crafting narratives that are as heart-pounding as they are hilarious.

With each new book, Elle’s exploration of the human condition deepens. Her writing often touches on themes of identity, the complexity of relationships, and how ordinary people navigate extraordinary circumstances. When she's not writing, Elle lives with her family, drawing inspiration from the world around her, constantly observing the quiet drama of life that serves as the backdrop for her vivid stories.

In all her work, Elle Cosimano continues to deliver the unexpected, weaving suspense, humor, and heart into each page, leaving readers eagerly anticipating what she’ll write next.
