Abigail Dean Synopses: Girl A is the debut novel of Abigail Dean, and a standalone title. Lex Gracie has spent her life trying not to think about her family – or the childhood she survived in her parents’ so-called House of Horrors. As Girl A, the eldest daughter who escaped and helped free her five siblings, she has done everything she can to build a life far removed from the one she left behind. Her father never left the house he created, and her mother lived out her days in prison. Keeping her distance has always been easy… until now.

When her mother dies and leaves the family home to the children who once fled it, Lex is forced to confront the past she’s avoided. Determined to transform the house into something good, she teams up with her sister Evie. But before they can move forward, Lex must face each sibling – and the complicated, sometimes conflicting memories they all carry.

What begins as a story of escape and resilience deepens into a gripping psychological portrait of a family shaped by shared trauma, shifting loyalties, and long-held secrets. As Lex tries to unite her siblings for one final decision about their past, she discovers just how powerful the mythology of their childhood remains – who is still bound by it, and who has managed to break free.

Day One is a standalone novel by Abigail Dean. In a quiet Lake District town, a village hall buzzing with excitement for a primary-school play becomes the scene of a shocking act that will alter Stonesmere forever. In the aftermath, the close-knit community struggles to make sense of what happened – and who they can trust.

As speculation spreads and conspiracy theorists seize on unanswered questions, two young people are pulled into the heart of the storm. Marty, the town’s golden girl and daughter of a beloved teacher lost that day, is determined to protect what remains of her family. Trent, once an outsider in Stonesmere, finds himself drawn to the online rumors that give shape to his fragmented memories.

But what truly happened at the Day One assembly? What truths is Marty holding back, and what is Trent unwilling – or unable – to see? As news, videos, and gossip ricochet through the community faster than anyone can contain them, the people of Stonesmere must find a way to move forward together, even when the past refuses to stay quiet.

The Death of Us by Abigail Dean is a standalone novel. Edward and Isabel move to London full of hope – young, in love, and absorbed in the pleasures of friends, work, and everyday life. But one spring night, when they are thirty, everything changes. Their home is breached by a serial predator, and the shock of that violation sends fractures through their marriage that neither of them knows how to mend.

Twenty-five years later, the person who terrorized them is finally caught, and Edward and Isabel reunite for the sentencing. Isabel has waited decades for justice; Edward has spent just as long trying not to look back. Now, as they prepare to speak publicly about the night that reshaped their lives, they must also reckon with their shared past – the love they once had, the secrets they kept, and the choices that drove them apart.

As old wounds surface, they are forced to ask themselves: can confronting the truth offer a path forward, or will the shadows of that night claim the last remnants of what they once were?
