Fiona Barton made a name for herself with her New York Times-bestselling debut, THE WIDOW (2016). This spring, Barton is back with THE CHILD (6/27/17). In THE CHILD, Barton has crafted a character-driven suspense novel that packs an emotional punch, with a deeply satisfying final plot twist.

Book Review: THE LYING GAME by Ruth Ware
Ruth Ware is one of my favorite psychological thriller writers. Her books are always fast-paced and taut, drawing the reader into a story that sinks its teeth into you until the very last page.

Book Review: UNDERTOW by Elizabeth Heathcote

This book belongs on summer reading lists alongside THE BREAKDOWN by B.A. Paris and THE CHILD by Fiona Barton.

Book Review: THE BREAKDOWN by B.A. Paris
B.A. Paris’ debut psychological thriller, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, was one of my most-recommended crime books last summer, and I was beyond excited to get my hands on a copy of her next thriller, THE BREAKDOWN. While THE BREAKDOWN doesn’t deliver quite the same addictive, spine-tingling suspense as did BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, I still found myself hooked on this wholly entertaining story. This book is the epitome of a “beach read” if ever there was one.
