Ruby is threatening to reveal secrets of Paris' previous life.

Simultaneously, Drew hosts a podcast, "Things We Do in the Dark" and is ready to investigate Ruby Reyes when he hears she's about to get out of prison. Ruby tells Drew things she hasn't told anyone.

This book was amazing. Every time I thought I had something figured out, there was another layer to the story. I loved the character building and background that was involved. I'm definitely going back to read Hillier's other novel.

This book. Wow. One of the best psychological suspense books by a debut author that I’ve ever read. Audrain has created a complex narrative in which Blythe shows us both motherhood and the effects of generational trauma. When Blythe becomes a mother to Violet, it’s not how she imagined it would be, and it doesn’t become that bond that others talk of. So she tries again and gives birth to Sam, who she connects with and adores. But when something happens..., and Blythe suspects Violet is behind it, no one will listen.

There’s so much more to the story that I want to talk about! This would be an excellent book club read or to pass along to friends. Highly recommend but maybe with a trigger warning for those with small children.

Finally. The newest book by one of my favorite authors, and I am dying to talk about! Wish You Were Here takes place in the early days of the Covid pandemic began…. and when I saw that I immediately did not want to read it.

But I’m glad I did because it wasn’t what I expected at all. I can’t say too much without spoiling, but I highly recommend giving this a chance. To escape NY on the day the pandemic began to be stranded on a tropical island in the Galapagos... be still my heart. Thank you @netgalley for the advance copy.

I was intrigued by the character since I read Elizabeth Moss had already opted to play her in the movie adaptation. And what a character. For fans of psychological fiction, this is a treat. I can't imagine how this will turn into a film since so much is in Mrs. March's psyche.

Mrs. March's husband is a bestselling writer, and his newest novel is causing quite a stir. Rumor has it the main character is based on his quirky wife. This makes the cocktail parties quite awkward. Especially when Mrs. March has her own suspicions of her husband and his mysterious hunting trips. The novel is a slow burn but worth it for fans of psychological thrillers.
