The evidence looks airtight and the press has already convicted him — but defense attorney Eddie Flynn, a former con artist turned lawyer, isn't so sure. As the \"trial of the century\" proceeds, jurors start dying and evidence goes missing, and Eddie becomes convinced that someone inside the courtroom is manipulating the outcome.\n\nThe novel alternates between Eddie's investigation and the perspective of Joshua Kane, a meticulous serial killer who has spent months engineering his own selection for jury duty so he can guarantee a guilty verdict and walk free. Cavanagh, himself a practicing lawyer, builds the courtroom procedure with the same precision as the thriller's central premise: the killer isn't on trial — he's on the jury.\n\nFast-paced and twist-heavy, Th1rt3en is written for readers of legal and psychological thrillers who want dual points of view, courtroom tension, and a premise built around dramatic irony — the reader knows what the jury doesn't.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjgnc5j1p8kae9y5pt6hwh.jpg","L28}3*tlGsDP}mx^s.RP00s:MKyC",2018,356,[99],{"id":100,"slug":101,"name":102},"01kkfjgnc0ccg71zf42541sf1b","steve-cavanagh-kfhy","Steve Cavanagh",[104,105,109,113,114],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":106,"name":107,"slug":108,"is_fiction":18},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":18},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":115,"name":116,"slug":117,"is_fiction":18},40,"Suspense","suspense",[119],{"id":120,"slug":121,"name":122,"position":13,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":8,"parent_slug":8,"parent_name":8},"01kxfmrz0ksw1661xa7wxb41cn","eddie-flynn-series-dyin","Eddie Flynn Series",{"pace":67,"complexity":8,"audience":70,"mood":124,"themes":128,"setting_period":8,"summary":130,"content_warnings":8},[72,125,126,127],"mysterious","dark","thought-provoking",[129],"secret-identity","Hollywood star Robert Solomon stands accused of murdering his wife in what the press calls the trial of the century, and defense attorney (and former con artist) Eddie Flynn is brought in to save him.

Lisbeth Salander lies in a hospital bed, gravely wounded and under police guard, facing charges that could see her committed or imprisoned for the rest of her life. In a room down the same corridor lies the man who tried to kill her.\n\nAs Lisbeth fights for her life and prepares for the fight of her life in court, Mikael Blomkvist and the staff of Millennium magazine race to assemble the story that will finally expose the corrupt cabal within the Swedish security police that destroyed her childhood and has spent decades protecting itself. What follows is a taut legal and political thriller in which the personal and the institutional collide, and Lisbeth's long war with the men who wronged her reaches its reckoning.\n\nSweeping and satisfying, this finale ties together the trilogy's threads of state corruption, abuse, and hard-won justice.

Loosened by cocktails and a wound he can't stop pressing, Ted admits that his wife is cheating on him — and that, some nights, he thinks he could kill her for it. To his surprise, Lily doesn't flinch. She calmly agrees that some people simply deserve to die, and offers to help him do it.\n\nWhat starts as an abstract game between two strangers becomes a meticulous plan, and then something far more dangerous. Because Lily is not a bored socialite indulging a fantasy. She has killed before, she has her own reasons for everything she does, and the tidy scheme she and Ted are building has more moving parts — and more hidden players — than either of them will admit.\n\nA modern homage to Patricia Highsmith, Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing is a coiled psychological thriller told through shifting, unreliable points of view. Every chapter recalibrates who is manipulating whom, building toward a game of murder in which trusting the wrong person is the only truly fatal mistake.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhddwa1yebkm9bhnc9tck.jpg","LH9aT,_L?t%L_M?v.7xtOukso$s:",2015,"3.86",7,320,[411],{"id":412,"slug":413,"name":414},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[416,417,418,419,420,424],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":106,"name":107,"slug":108,"is_fiction":18},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":18},{"id":115,"name":116,"slug":117,"is_fiction":18},{"id":421,"name":422,"slug":423,"is_fiction":18},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":425,"name":426,"slug":427,"is_fiction":18},210,"Noir","noir",[429],{"id":430,"slug":431,"name":432,"position":251,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":8,"parent_slug":8,"parent_name":8},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":67,"complexity":8,"audience":70,"mood":434,"themes":435,"setting_period":8,"summary":403,"content_warnings":8},[126,72,125,73],[436,75,78],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":438,"slug":439,"title":440,"description":441,"primary_cover_url":442,"cover_blurhash":443,"first_publish_year":444,"community_rating_avg":202,"community_rating_count":203,"page_count":445,"authors":446,"genres":455,"series":469,"enrichment":470},"01kkfgykqxnjddrfebfhn97b4c","lile-aux-arbres-disparus-lkvy","L'île aux arbres disparus","Elif Shafak's 2021 novel moves between two islands of memory. In 2010s London, sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis is grieving her mother and estranged from a Cypriot heritage she has never been allowed to know. In 1970s Cyprus, her parents-to-be, Kostas and Defne — he Greek Christian, she Turkish Muslim — fall in love in secret, meeting at a tavern called The Happy Fig as their island slides toward war and partition.\n\nWoven through both timelines is a third, unexpected narrator: a fig tree, carried as a cutting from Cyprus to a London garden, which watches over the family and remembers everything the humans cannot bear to say. Through its eyes, Shafak braids together buried history, ecological wonder, and the long aftershocks of a divided homeland.\n\nTender and elegiac, The Island of Missing Trees is a novel about inherited silence and inherited love — about how the traumas of one generation take root in the next, and about the fragile work of belonging to a place, a family, and a past. A Reese's Book Club pick and Costa Award finalist, it is among Shafak's most beloved books.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfgyktpap0q3r4jmhg8as6h.jpg","L2DIbP~901Rto$-P]wRh0IJE0hRn",2021,407,[447,451],{"id":448,"slug":449,"name":450},"01kjwhxy0ck6r6rtepje2aps35","elif-safak-6ayf","Elif Şafak",{"id":452,"slug":453,"name":454},"01kkfgyktfs5qsanvmc5gdpmvd","dominique-goy-blanquet-vmoy","Dominique Goy-Blanquet",[456,459,460,461,465],{"id":57,"name":457,"slug":458,"is_fiction":18},"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":69,"name":375,"slug":376,"is_fiction":18},{"id":238,"name":239,"slug":240,"is_fiction":18},{"id":462,"name":463,"slug":464,"is_fiction":18},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":466,"name":467,"slug":468,"is_fiction":18},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",[],{"pace":68,"complexity":8,"audience":70,"mood":471,"themes":474,"setting_period":8,"summary":441,"content_warnings":8},[389,472,390,354,473],"emotional","romantic",[475,476,75],"forbidden-love","dual-timeline",{"id":478,"slug":479,"title":480,"description":481,"primary_cover_url":482,"cover_blurhash":483,"first_publish_year":444,"community_rating_avg":484,"community_rating_count":408,"page_count":485,"authors":486,"genres":491,"series":507,"enrichment":508},"01kkfjf85f61ps80svxtebqej6","the-last-house-on-needless-street-6xfg","The Last House on Needless Street","At the end of a dead-end road, on the edge of a wild Washington forest, stands a boarded-up house.

Years earlier, her little sister vanished from a nearby lake, and Dee has never stopped searching. She is certain Ted knows something. As she watches him, and as the narrative shifts between Ted, Olivia, and Dee, the reader is pulled into a story where nothing is stable and no account can be trusted.\n\nCatriona Ward's genre-bending psychological horror is a masterclass in misdirection — unbearably tense, deeply unsettling, and built around a structure that reveals itself only piece by piece.

Everyone knows the story: her boyfriend, Sal Singh, killed her and then took his own life. The case is closed. But Pippa Fitz-Amobi has never quite believed it. When she chooses the murder as the subject of her senior capstone project, she tells herself she is only reopening old questions for a school assignment.\n\nThe deeper Pip digs, the less the official version holds together. With the help of Ravi Singh, Sal's younger brother, who has spent years living under the weight of his brother's supposed guilt, she starts tracing the last hours of Andie's life through interviews, old messages, and secrets the town would rather keep buried. Someone notices. As anonymous threats begin to arrive, it becomes clear that the truth is still dangerous, and that the real killer may be much closer than anyone imagined.\n\nTold through Pip's project log, transcripts, and maps alongside the narrative, Holly Jackson's debut is a tightly plotted whodunit that helped define a wave of modern young-adult crime fiction. It is a story about the cost of certainty, the pull of an unsolved case, and how far an ordinary teenager will go to be sure she has found the truth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6w5vgmqycxdp0ef1n13tz.jpg","L29GR9xG0etRnis:aKR*2@Sf~Cw{",24,416,[963],{"id":964,"slug":965,"name":966},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[968,969,970,971,972,976],{"id":115,"name":116,"slug":117,"is_fiction":18},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":18},{"id":106,"name":107,"slug":108,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":973,"name":974,"slug":975,"is_fiction":18},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":977,"name":978,"slug":979,"is_fiction":18},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[981],{"id":982,"slug":983,"name":956,"position":251,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":8,"parent_slug":8,"parent_name":8},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":67,"complexity":8,"audience":985,"mood":986,"themes":987,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},"young_adult",[125,72,126],[],{"id":989,"slug":990,"title":991,"description":992,"primary_cover_url":993,"cover_blurhash":994,"first_publish_year":520,"community_rating_avg":995,"community_rating_count":538,"page_count":996,"authors":997,"genres":1002,"series":1008,"enrichment":1009},"01kjq77dx08ykthbbb7jc7p80m","the-silent-patient-cfa9","The Silent Patient","Alicia Berenson's life looks perfect. A celebrated painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house overlooking a park in one of London's most desirable neighbourhoods. Then, one evening, her husband Gabriel returns home late and Alicia shoots him five times in the face — and from that moment never speaks another word.\n\nHer refusal to explain, or even to talk, turns a domestic tragedy into a public sensation and hardens into an unsolvable mystery. Alicia is confined to the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London, where she paints and stays silent. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist who has been fascinated by her case for years, engineers a job at the unit and sets out to reach her, convinced that if he can only get Alicia to speak, he can uncover the truth of that night.\n\nTold through Theo's obsessive investigation and Alicia's own private diary, Alex Michaelides's debut is a tautly plotted psychological thriller that draws on Greek tragedy and builds to one of the genre's most talked-about twists.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksxn51w268j0at5kteg1gx1n.jpg","LXPPZCI:InRi_4xaV?V@S$ozahj[","3.95",338,[998],{"id":999,"slug":1000,"name":1001},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[1003,1004,1005,1006,1007],{"id":115,"name":116,"slug":117,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":106,"name":107,"slug":108,"is_fiction":18},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":18},{"id":421,"name":422,"slug":423,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":67,"complexity":8,"audience":70,"mood":1010,"themes":1011,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},[126,125,72],[436],{"id":1013,"slug":1014,"title":1015,"description":1016,"primary_cover_url":1017,"cover_blurhash":1018,"first_publish_year":1019,"community_rating_avg":1020,"community_rating_count":973,"page_count":1021,"authors":1022,"genres":1027,"series":1041,"enrichment":1046},"01kjq7nras6zteqkynzng3ffbc","the-da-vinci-code-zcmz","The Da Vinci Code","Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is jolted awake in Paris by a late-night call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body arranged in a strange pose and ringed by baffling ciphers. Police summon Langdon as an expert, but he quickly realizes he is himself a suspect. With the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu—the dead man's estranged granddaughter—he flees into the Paris night, following a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.\n\nWhat begins as a murder investigation opens onto a far older secret. The pair chase a chain of riddles that leads through art, history, and the coded traditions of a shadowy brotherhood, pursued both by the French police and by a devout, self-punishing assassin acting on orders he believes are holy. As the clues accumulate, Langdon and Sophie edge toward a revelation that a powerful institution has spent two thousand years trying to bury—one that could reshape how millions understand faith and history.\n\nA breathless overnight chase across Paris and London, The Da Vinci Code weaves cryptography, symbology, and religious history into a puzzle-driven thriller.

There are signs of a struggle in the living room, and as the hours pass with no word, the police and a ravenous national media begin to circle. Nick, evasive and strangely composed under the cameras, quickly becomes the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance.\n\nGillian Flynn tells the story in two alternating voices. Nick narrates the investigation from the present as suspicion tightens around him, while Amy's diary traces the couple's courtship and the slow souring of their marriage. The two accounts refuse to line up, and the widening gap between them keeps the reader guessing about who is lying, who is telling the truth, and what really happened on the anniversary.\n\nBeneath the missing-person case, Gone Girl is a caustic anatomy of a modern marriage and the performances it demands. Flynn dissects the roles spouses play for each other and for the outside world, the machinery of a media spectacle, and the resentments that accumulate when two clever, image-conscious people stop being honest with each other. Sharp, cynical, and ruthlessly plotted around a pair of unreliable narrators, it became one of the defining psychological thrillers of its era.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktkx3dk6k3s6syphedc5mc2x.jpg?v=2f60cfe167","L35;,O~p%#-:MxIUM{Rj029GMxIV",2012,"4.02",486,[1062],{"id":1063,"slug":1064,"name":1065},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[1067,1068,1069,1070,1071,1072],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":106,"name":107,"slug":108,"is_fiction":18},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":18},{"id":115,"name":116,"slug":117,"is_fiction":18},{"id":421,"name":422,"slug":423,"is_fiction":18},{"id":728,"name":729,"slug":730,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":67,"complexity":8,"audience":70,"mood":1075,"themes":1076,"setting_period":8,"summary":1077,"content_warnings":8},[126,72],[436,476],"On their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne's wife, Amy, vanishes, leaving behind a trail of clues that suggest a struggle.

I have enjoyed most his books and was thrilled when I heard about the Alex Troutt series. This is the third book in the series and can be read as a standalone. I did not enjoy this installment as much as I did the previous book in the series, however, I still found it to be an interesting read.\n\n In this installment it would appear that someone as a vendetta against the men of the cloth. This was evident by the recent bombings, which have been aimed at them. However, things are not always what they seem. The bombings have been extended to include what appears to be unrelated personnel. These events have stumped the FBI has they are not able to make a connection. Added to this Alex has been ordered by the assistant director of the FBI to investigate her boss as he suspected to have terrorist ties. Is there a connection with her current investigation or is this totally unrelated?\n\nThe story started out on a high, however, as the investigation progressed it began to move a bit on the slow side. It is my belief that a good mystery is one where the reader is unable to figure out the perpetrator and his\u002Fher motive with ease. Well At Once falls into that category. It had me guessing at every page turn.\n\nThe characters get more interesting with each installment. Alex is a kick ass heroine who is not afraid to take on a challenge. She conducts her investigations without fear, and she is not afraid to speak her mind. I enjoyed her interaction with her children and colleagues. She is the type of mother who is there for her children in spite of the demands of her job. She is loyal and has the backs of those whom she works with.\n\nVerdict: This is a great addition to the series. I can’t wait to read more of Alex’s adventures. If you love mysteries that will keep you on your toes as you try to figure what is coming next, then you will love this book.","none","rv-01kxq2edgaz7j7qfe7nvsjbf31",[],"2026-07-17T03:38:11.000000Z"]
