Editorial reviews

About The Only Child

In addition to The Bad Seed, THE ONLY CHILD carries overt references to The Silence of the Lambs. It’s easy to imagine this suspenseful, multilayered novel being adapted into a pretty sinister film in its own right.

About The Only Child

Good elevator pitch, not so great final result, though I can actually picture a fairly cool movie coming out of this if adapted properly. Netflix, take note.

About Perfect Little Children

Readers will quickly turn the pages of Perfect Little Children to discover whether those things really are there.

About Perfect Little Children

Perfect Little Children is one of the most ingenious psychological thrillers I have ever read, and the ending is completely satisfying.

About The Devil’s Due

Loose-limbed, prodigiously inventive, plotted with infernal logic, and riotously implausible from beginning to end.

About Your House Will Pay

Cha’s storytelling shows how fiction can delicately extract deeper revelations from daily headlines.

About The Last Widow

Slaughter's books are massively exciting reads for me. Her plots are always so tightly planned and executed that even the most unbelievable points become spectacularly real in her deft hands.

About Before She Knew Him

Peter Swanson definitely knows how to write a page turner.

About Deadly Camargue

The leisurely journey to the solution of Rademacher’s second Provence whodunit is adorned with droll characterizations, pungent dialogue, and zingy chapter titles.

About Uneasy Lies the Crown

UNEASY LIES THE CROWN will bring joy to anyone who loves delving into challenging mysteries of the past, particularly those involving British history and the monarchy

About Left

Bischoff does succeed in building suspense and keeping it going.

About Hangman

Cole pushes the envelope with grisly homicide scenes, each more gruesome than the previous. Squeamish readers may want to close one eye.

About The Butterfly Conspiracy

I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book and to watch their relationship grow—not to mention the cryptid name drop that has me chomping at the bit. I’m looking forward to the second book in the series.

About After the Monsoon

The plot? Not this novel’s particular strength. Although the setups are plausible and gripping, characters make too many credulity-straining choices that are explicable only in the contrived service of heightening drama

About The Girl From Blind River

The author’s authoritative, powerful prose and knack for dialogue—especially when dealing with emotions and violence—are more indicative of a seasoned veteran rather than a debut author. This is great news because it means there is much more to come from Massey, and if The Girl from Blind River is any indication, it will be great.

About Final Resting Place

A relatively short book given the scope of its events, Final Resting Place is packed from prologue to closing historical note with grand characters and exciting action. Putnam doesn’t waste a single page as Speed and Lincoln juggle the personal, the professional, and the painful in their quest for truth and justice.

About All These Beautiful Strangers

The story of a long-game revenge played out between generations.

About The Red Hand of Fury

Morris’ third is taut and twisty with a psychological intensity that’s rare and compelling.

About Mothers and Other Strangers

A reader who knows what to expect will take pleasure in this book.
