What to expect

Some bury their secrets close to home; others scatter them to the wind and hope they land somewhere far away.

Judith Kratt inherited all the Kratt family had to offer—the pie safe, the copper clock, the murder that no one talks about—and she knows in her old bones that it’s time to make an inventory of her household and its valuables. But she finds that cataloging the family belongings—as well as their misfortunes—won’t contain her family’s secrets, not when her wayward sister suddenly returns, determined to expose skeletons that the Kratts had hoped to take to their grave.

Interweaving the present with chilling flashbacks from one fateful evening in 1929, Judith pieces together the influence of her family on their small South Carolina cotton town, learning that the devastating effects of dark family secrets can last a lifetime and beyond.

Critics Review

The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt adeptly catalogs loss, hope, and redemption.”

Booklist

“Thoughtful and quintessentially Southern…The well-told tale unfolds like a magnolia, slowly revealing a languid beauty. Mystery fans will also be satisfied.”

Publishers Weekly

“South Carolina native Bobotis’s debut is sure to place her alongside established authors such as Fannie Flagg. Rich in detail, it will carry readers between past and present, presenting historical issues of race, class, and belonging.”

Library Journal

The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt is a multilayered story about family, race, loss, and loyalty, featuring a complex cast of characters led by a woman who learns it’s never too late for growth and change.”

Cynthia Swanson, New York Times bestselling author

“Andrea Bobotis is a new, original voice as Southern as they come! In The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt, she unravels a complicated web of dirty Southern secrets. Using masterful writing and a perfectly calculated reveal of damaged history, she ends up weaving a tapestry that is so much more.”

Leah Weiss, author of If the Creek Don't Rise
