Five Survive Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the author of the multimillion-copy bestselling A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series comes a new blockbuster thriller about a road trip that turns deadly.
Eight hours. Six friends. Five survive.
Red Kenny is on a road trip for spring break with five friends: Her best friend - the older brother - his perfect girlfriend - a secret crush - a classmate - and a killer.
When their RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere with no cell service, they soon realize this is no accident. They have been trapped by someone out there in the dark, someone who clearly wants one of them dead.
With eight hours until dawn, the six friends must escape, or figure out which of them is the target. But is there a liar among them? Buried secrets will be forced to light and tensions inside the RV will reach deadly levels. Not all of them will survive the night. . . .
With edge-of-your-seat tension and a gripping mystery, Holly Jackson has written another instant classic!
And don't miss Holly Jackson's latest mystery thriller, The Reappearance of Rachel Price!

Holly Jackson Press Reviews
'A blisteringly good standalone thriller.' The Observer, YA Books of the Year, 4/12/2022
'A thrill ride.' The Guardian
Holly Jackson, the OG of UK YA thriller writers, has written one of her most exciting novels yet. Five Survive, my Book of the Month, is about a group of teens who set off on a trip for spring break; when they find themselves under attack, they must work out who is trying to shoot them-and why. Set over the course of just a few hours, this taut thriller will keep readers hooked. Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller
Praise for the Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy:
'A taut, compulsively readable, elegantly plotted thriller' - Guardian
'Jackson ensnares readers in another highly addictive web, woven from the dark shadows of small-town secrets.' The Observer
As Good As Dead is a phenomenal YA mystery that deserves to be one of the books of the year and provides a stellar finale to a knockout series. Nerd Daily
'A fiendishly-plotted mystery that kept me guessing until the very end.' - Laura Purcell, bestselling author of The Silent Companions
'There is a lot to really enjoy in this story and there is great energy to the writing, as well as some fine characterization' - Peter James, award-winning and no.1 bestselling crime thriller author of Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series
'Twisty, compulsive and so, so clever' - Savannah Brown, author of The Truth About Keeping Secrets
