Do you know what happened already? Did you know her? Did you see it on the internet? Did you listen to a podcast? Did the hosts make jokes?
Did you see the pictures of the body?
Did you look for them?
It's been nearly a decade since the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Joan Wilson rocked the small seaside town of Crow-on-Sea. Based on hours of interviews with witnesses and family members, and even correspondence with the killers themselves, journalist Alec Z. Carelli has constructed what he claims is the 'definitive account' of the crime. It's a riveting snapshot of lives scarred by tragedy, and a town left in turmoil.
The only question is: how much of Carelli's story is true?
Boy Parts was always going to be a tough act to follow, and Penance rises to the challenge - and engulfs it in flames. An unmissable banger that you need to preorder immediately. -- Alice Slater
As bleak as it is compelling, Penance is a perfect dark satire of the voyeuristic true crime industry and the media's complicity in sensationalising the pointless destruction of human lives into a vulgar, grubby money-making circus. -- Charlotte Vassell
Fans of Joseph Knox's True Crime Story and Megan Abbott's teen noirs will love Clark's meta-meditation on the mysteries, malice, and minutiae of adolescence. -- Tom Benn
I loved Boy Parts but this was another creature entirely. Coolly detached, stricter, cleaner, and still insanely propulsive. Vivid, excellent dialogue, at times heartbreaking. She's a master of structure that Clark. -- Jenny Mustard
