One of: TIME 's Most Anticipated Books of 2021 Lit Hub 's Most Anticipated Books of 2021 CrimeReads ' Most Anticipated Crime Books of 2021 "There is not a writer alive who is better at investigating the tension and threat of violence at the center of women's lives than Megan Abbott-- because no one else is looking at the violence from within women's lives, as opposed to outside threats on trains, planes, in windows, or on dark, shadowy streets. Megan goes into the heart of female spaces and finds the ugly in all that pretty, the dark in all that light, with breath-taking suspense. The Turnout has notes of James M. Cain and Alfred Hitchcock, but it's better because it's so fresh and unexpected, so wholly revelatory. I turned page after page, holding my breath in fear, and also excitement, about what might happen in this run-down ballet school, what blood red might be lurking behind all that pink. This is Megan Abbott working at the absolute height of her talent." -Attica Locke, author of Bluebird, Bluebird and Heaven, My Home "All one needs to know about a Megan Abbott book is that it's a Megan Abbott book -- dreamy, sexy, a deep dive into a subculture that has been exhaustively researched. The Turnout is all those things and more, taking you so far into the world of a small ballet school that you feel the characters' aches and pains in your joints, your feet and, most dangerous of all, your heart." -Laura Lippman, author of Lady in the Lake, One of the Most Anticipated Books of 2021: TIME * Seattle Times * Goodreads * Lit Hub * Publishers Weekly * BookPage * CrimeRead * Book Riot * Booktrib * SheReads "Abbott--so good at plucking the dark and twisted strands of female friendships and rivalries in books like You Will Know Me and Give Me Your Hand --fashions her unsettling new novel around a ballet academy run by three high-strung former dancers, two of them sisters." - The New York Times "Abbott is not only a suspense author at the top of her game, she's also a scholar, and The Turnout promises to be both homage to classic tropes and visionary model for their evolution." - LitHub "At once engaging and unnerving." - Reader's Digest "Abbott has a top-notch ability to reveal the dark undercurrents of women's relationships and sexuality. Her taut, unsettling writing creates tension through the slightest actions and phrases, and keeps the pages turning. This is clever, chilling psychological suspense at its best." - Library Journal (starred review) "The mesmerizing prose will keep you turning the pages. Abbott is a master of thinly veiled secrets often kept by women who rage underneath their delicate exteriors." - Kirkus Reviews "One of the most well-known and acclaimed thriller writers working today is back with a twisted tale of fraying ties at a family-run ballet studio." -BookPage "There's no one who captures the atmosphere of a tight-knit hothouse world, in all its feverish beauty and brutality, quite like Megan Abbott." -Tana French, author of The Searcher "All one needs to know about a Megan Abbott book is that it's a Megan Abbott book -- dreamy, sexy, a deep dive into a subculture that has been exhaustively researched. The Turnout is all those things and more, taking you so far into the world of a small ballet school that you feel the characters' aches and pains in your joints, your feet, and, most dangerous of all, your heart." -Laura Lippman, author of Lady in the Lake "There is not a writer alive who is better at investigating the tension and threat of violence at the center of women's lives than Megan Abbott.

This is Megan Abbott working at the absolute height of her talent." -Attica Locke, author of Bluebird, Bluebird and Heaven, My Home "Megan Abbott is a master of atmosphere, and she captures the Durant School of Ballet--a tinderbox of promise and perfectionism, innuendo and fierce desire, of tension twisted to a breaking point--in all its merciless extravagance. The Turnout is a bewitching climb up a spiral staircase into the inner sanctum of the Durant family, a house of mirrors in which nothing is exactly what it seems. This novel pounds with blood and grips you in its teeth: Megan Abbott is unafraid as ever of the darkness that makes us human." - Chloe Benjamin, author of The Immortalists, One of the Most Anticipated Books of 2021: TIME * Seattle Times * Goodreads * Lit Hub * Publishers Weekly * BookPage * CrimeRead * Book Riot * Booktrib * SheReads "Abbott--so good at plucking the dark and twisted strands of female friendships and rivalries in books like You Will Know Me and Give Me Your Hand --fashions her unsettling new novel around a ballet academy run by three high-strung former dancers, two of them sisters." - The New York Times " The Turnout unfolds like a dark fairy tale, unpacking the rigid demands of femininity. Abbott fans and suspense lovers alike won''t be disappointed with this exploration of human frailty and twisted love." - LitHub "At once engaging and unnerving." - Reader''s Digest "Gut-punching noir...Abbott is pitch-perfect at making the sisters'' complex dynamic and mix of emotions plausible and painful, while capturing the competitiveness and cruelty of children''s ballet, where every young girl wishes to be the center of attention. This look at the darker side of the dance world demonstrates why Abbott has few peers at crafting moving stories of secrets and broken lives." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Abbott has a top-notch ability to reveal the dark undercurrents of women''s relationships and sexuality. Her taut, unsettling writing creates tension through the slightest actions and phrases, and keeps the pages turning.

With their long necks and matching buns and pink tights, Dara and Marie Durant have been dancers since they can remember. Growing up, they were homeschooled and trained by their glamorous mother, founder of the Durant School of Dance. After their parents' death in a tragic accident nearly a dozen years ago, the sisters began running the school together, along with Charlie, Dara's husband and once their mother's prized student. Marie, warm and soft, teaches the younger students; Dara, with her precision, trains the older ones; and Charlie, sidelined from dancing after years of injuries, rules over the back office. Circling around one another, the three have perfected a dance, six days a week, that keeps the studio thriving. But when a suspicious accident occurs, just at the onset of the school's annual performance of The Nutcracker-- a season of competition, anxiety, and exhilaration--an interloper arrives and threatens the sisters' delicate balance.
