The night Alison was murdered, Rachel could have stopped it.

When Rachel Nardelli finds out Alison Petrucci--her childhood rival--is found dead in Pleasant Pond, the same place the two girls had first said goodbye to each other back in eighth grade, the town of Waterbury is outraged by the fear of losing one of their own--the heir to Maine's largest construction company. But it's a little more complicated for Rachel. She saw Alison the night she died. Callous, she said something she shouldn't have. She stirred up the past. The next morning, Alison was gone.   

Plagued by the complicated memories around Alison, Rachel joins her journalism crew to investigate the murder. But as she revisits their fraught relationship, she falls into a web of cruelties that threaten to undo everything she understood about her past. An explosive literary thriller from the acclaimed Kate Russo, Until Alison is a brilliantly incisive and resonant novel that is at once about class, gender, and the arbitrary nature of violence.
