The Cousins

Milly, Aubrey and Jonah Story have never met their grandmother, Mildred. Twenty-four years ago she disinherited her four children with a note that read "You know what you did," and none of them has ever explained why. Now Mildred has invited her grandchildren to spend the summer on Gull Cove Island, the resort the Story family built, and they become the first Storys welcomed back.

The welcome is cooler than they hoped, and it soon becomes clear that at least one person wants the cousins gone. As Milly, Aubrey and Jonah piece together what happened to their parents, they uncover a family history that reaches back to 1996, and they find that each of them has secrets of their own.

The Cousins is a young adult mystery by Karen M. McManus, author of One of Us Is Lying. The story is told from several points of view across two timelines, the cousins in the present and their parents in the past.
