Need some suspense in your life? Here are a few titles that have made my list next month, including a couple of spectacular debuts!
An Anonymous Girl, by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen. New psychological fiction from the authors of the 2018 best-seller The Wife Between Us. When Jessica signs up for an ethics study of women ages 18-32, she has no idea that the doctor running the study will be so dangerously controlling. As the study progresses and she shares, and overshares, with the doctor, Jessica begins to wonder whether she'll ever be able to leave the study at all... Also available in Large Print.
The Woman Inside, by E.G. Scott. Scott is the pseudonym for a pair of writers, one a publishing professional and the other a screenwriter, making their debut with a dark marital thriller that is already in development for a TV series. After nearly two decades of marriage, Rebecca and Paul are growing apart, separated by a slowly unraveling string of secrets. Like Rebecca's career-ending substance abuse problem. Or Paul's failure to mention that he's withdrawn all of their savings from the bank, or his adultery. Fans of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl will want to check this out in the new year.
The Nowhere Child, by Christian White. White's impressive debut starts with Australian teacher Kim Leamy being approached by American James Finn, who claims the 30-year-old woman is actually Sammy Went, who was abducted from Kentucky at the age of 2 back in 1990. When James admits he's actually Stuart Went, Sammy's brother, and shares all of the documentation of Sammy's disappearance, Kim is intrigued, and together they work to unearth what really happened. Don't skip ahead, the ending is worth the wait!
