What to expect
ABC’s Desperate Housewives meets Showtime’s Dexter in My Darlings, a chilling suburban noir set in the deceptively serene Washington, DC, suburbs, where a respected philanthropist and PTO president’s secret life as a serial killer enthralls listeners seeking a deep, psychological thrill.
“No one was supposed to know. I’ve always been so careful. My Darlings, how did we get here?”
Evil lurks behind the perfectly manicured lawns, ornate iron gates, and long winding driveways of affluent DC—but not for long.
Stay-at-home mom Eloise Williams is parent–teacher organization president and a respected local philanthropist who is a member of the boards of many distinguished charities. In addition to being a doting wife and mother, she is also a serial killer.
But Eloise isn’t the only lady in society playing a part. As the hidden lives of Eloise’s inner circle are exposed, the body count rises. When stalkers becomes prey, Eloise desperately clings to control.
Money and power can only buy influence and safety for so long. Eventually, the curtains lift, exposing the chilling reality hiding in plain sight.
This dark thriller has numerous content warnings: child death, suicide, hazing, bullying, murder, infidelity, brutal slayings, domestic abuse/violence, child abuse, torture.
Critics Review
-
“Sharp and disturbing, My Darlings is the perfect mash-up of the Bravo network and the serial killers that we never see coming. Author Marie Still executes the delicate task of creating complex characters that lunge off the page, while giving thriller readers the payoff that they anticipate with each jump-scare. Perfect as a fall weather read.”
Elle Marr, author of The Alone Time
