Bright Young Women
by Jessica Knoll
☆ Shortlisted for the 2024 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll is a fictional account of the lives of the young women targeted by a real-life serial killer (Ted Bundy, though he is not named in the book) in the 1970s. The plot revolves around two main events: a vicious attack on a sorority at Florida State University, and the disappearance of a woman from Lake Sammamish State Park near Seattle. The story is grippingly told and, for non-American readers, has the added benefit of learning what exactly a sorority is.
