ABC’s Desperate Housewives meets Showtime’s Dexter in My Darlings, a chilling suburban noir set in the deceptively serene Washington, DC, suburbs, where a respected philanthropist and PTO president’s secret life as a serial killer enthralls listeners seeking a deep, psychological thrill.

“No one was supposed to know. I’ve always been so careful. My Darlings, how did we get here?”

Evil lurks behind the perfectly manicured lawns, ornate iron gates, and long winding driveways of affluent DC—but not for long.

Stay-at-home mom Eloise Williams is parent–teacher organization president and a respected local philanthropist who is a member of the boards of many distinguished charities. In addition to being a doting wife and mother, she is also a serial killer.

But Eloise isn’t the only lady in society playing a part. As the hidden lives of Eloise’s inner circle are exposed, the body count rises. When stalkers becomes prey, Eloise desperately clings to control.

Money and power can only buy influence and safety for so long. Eventually, the curtains lift, exposing the chilling reality hiding in plain sight.

This dark thriller has numerous content warnings: child death, suicide, hazing, bullying, murder, infidelity, brutal slayings, domestic abuse/violence, child abuse, torture.

Marie Still grew up obsessed with words and the dark and complex characters authors bring to life with them. Now she creates her own while living in Tampa with her husband, four kids, two dogs, and a very grumpy hedgehog. My Darlings is her second novel.

Zura Johnson is a classically trained stage actor. She has performed in stages from her childhood home in California to the East coast, and all the way to Singapore. She has now worked in theater and as a voice actor for more than twenty years. She holds an MFA from the Old Globe Theatre and the University of San Diego.

Megan Tusing is an actress, known for The Beginning and the End, The Share, and Odd Jobs. She has a bachelor’s degree in theatre from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Katy Bentz is an actor/host best known for playing Steph Gingrich in the acclaimed video game series Life Is Strange, and starred in the feature films The Pipes and The Crossbreed. She has appeared as principal in commercials for Trident Gum, Ring Doorbell, and Spotify. She has modeled for clothing and product companies including Loomed, GLAUDI Bridal Dresses, and LA Fashion Week. 

Erin Bennett is an Earphones Award–winning narrator and a stage actress who played Carlie Roberts in the BBC radio drama Torchwood: Submission. She can be heard on several video games. Regional theater appearances include the Intiman, Pasadena Playhouse, Arizona Theatre Company, A Noise Within, Laguna Playhouse, and the Getty Villa. She trained at Boston University and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

Kelli Tager is a classically trained actor with a master's degree in Shakespeare studies from the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK. She worked in film/theater and taught children's acting for many years. Now, she only acts behind the mic in commercials, animation, and, of course, audiobooks. ("Kelli Garland" narrates anything for the young listener.) Audiobook narration is the perfect marriage between her love of literature and her love of acting.

Reviews

“Sharp and disturbing, My Darlings is the perfect mash-up of the Bravo network and the serial killers that we never see coming. Author Marie Still executes the delicate task of creating complex characters that lunge off the page, while giving thriller readers the payoff that they anticipate with each jump-scare. Perfect as a fall weather read.”
