Whidbey: A Novel by T. Kira Madden is a literary mystery and psychological thriller about three women whose lives become connected after the murder of one man. Birdie Chang, a young woman living with the lasting effects of childhood sexual abuse, escapes to remote Whidbey Island in Washington after her abuser, Calvin Boyer, resurfaces and continues trying to contact her.

During the ferry journey to the island, Birdie tells a stranger about her history with Calvin. The stranger offers her a disturbing proposition: if she gives him Calvin’s name, he will kill the man who hurt her. Birdie does so. Soon afterward, Calvin is murdered, and his mother Mary-Beth receives the devastating news. Another woman connected to Calvin, Linzie King, a former reality-TV star and bestselling memoirist who was also victimized by him, becomes part of the unfolding mystery.

Told through the perspectives of these three women, Whidbey combines a murder mystery with an exploration of trauma, revenge, justice, abuse, storytelling, and the long-lasting consequences of violence. The novel asks who truly has power over a story—the person who lived it or the person who tells it.
