One of the reigning queens of YA mystery thrillers, London-based Holly Jackson crossed the pond recently for her first-ever U.S. tour. Delacorte Press published the Good Girl’s Guide to Murder author’s latest true crime mystery, The Reappearance of Rachel Price, on April 2 with a first printing of 500,000 copies. Jackson visited 12 cities and appeared in conversation with a number of other bestselling YA writers; we’ve rounded up some photo highlights from the tour.
