OCEAN STATE, by Stewart O’Nan.
In the first line of this novel, its narrator announces that her teenage sister helped kill a local girl. What starts as a fast-paced thriller set in coastal Rhode Island morphs into a chilling novel about class, desperation and young love.

“When I was in eighth grade my sister helped kill another girl.”
