Elle Kennedy is everywhere these days and we’re excited about that. We’ve loved her books for over a decade and we’re always excited for what she puts out next. Now, she lives a lot in the Briar University world, but this year she stepped out and wrote Thornbird.
While Thornbird wasn’t this writer’s cup of tea, I know that a lot of people loved it. Crime has never been my thing to watch or read. But for a lot of people – it is a very popular genre these days. So it should be no surprise that Hulu is developing Thornbirds for series. So who is at the helm? Pretty Little Liars helmer, Marlene King. She is set as writer and executive producer of the 20th Television project.
“Ten years after her father—the infamous serial killer Gabriel Thorn—was caught, Ryan Shipley is back in Starling, Tennessee, trying to lay low. No one can know who she really is. No one can know the truth about her past,” the book synopsis reads, “But as fresh eyes dig deeper into the case, old secrets refuse to stay buried. Cryptic texts, eerie coincidences, and a chilling note leave everyone wondering—does Ryan know more than she’s letting on? As the truth unravels, one thing becomes in a town full of secrets, Ryan might be the biggest mystery of them all.”
Kennedy will serve as an executive producer. Published on June 30, Thornbird debuted on the New York Times Bestseller list. It is Kennedy’s first book under the pseudonym E. Kennedy.
