Graveyard Shift

the highly anticipated new book by the author of the BookTok sensation If We Were Villains

M. L. Rio

Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur (Mystery/Crime), by Sorcha
This short novella packs a punch: in just over a hundred pages, Rio manages to bring to life five very different characters and a detective-style mystery, with the same page-turning quality as her previous novel. While it is difficult to explain the plot without revealing too much, you can expect suspense, cigarettes, late-night sleuthing and, unsurprisingly, rats. Lots of them.

The bestselling author of international BookTok sensation If We Were Villains returns with a story of a group of misfits who meet in the local cemetery each night to unearth the secrets lurking in an open grave.

Every night, in the college's ancient cemetery, five people cross paths as they work the late shift: a bartender, a rideshare driver, a hotel receptionist, the steward of the derelict church that looms over them, and the editor-in-chief of the college paper, always in search of a story.

One dark October evening in the defunct churchyard, they find a hole that wasn't there before. A fresh, open grave where no grave should be. But who dug it, and for whom?

Before they go their separate ways, the gravedigger returns. As they trail him through the night, they realize he may be the key to a string of strange happenings around town that have made headlines for the last few weeks--and that they may be closer to the mystery than they thought.

Atmospheric and eerie, featuring an ensemble of misfits that fans will love and a delightfully familiar academic backdrop, Graveyard Shift is a modern Gothic tale in If We Were Villains author M. L. Rio's inimitable style.
