Her breath catches in her mouth as she hears heavy footsteps. She says a silent prayer, but she knows he’s closing in on her. She knows it’s too late…  When a robbery at a local store ends with multiple deaths and the abduction of sixteen-year-old schoolgirl Cassidy Wilder, FBI agent Beth Katz and her partner Dax Styles are called in. Visiting Cassidy’s family home just a couple of blocks away from the quiet little store where she went missing, Beth’s heart breaks as she talks to her grieving parents and promises to find their daughter. Looking at CCTV footage, Beth is horrified to see how calm the killer is as he shoots everyone in the store before forcing the terrified Cassidy to follow him into his truck. Then Beth uncovers multiple robberies just like this one, where all witnesses are killed and a young girl is taken. All of the victims are taken at night and found dead the following morning, so Beth knows time is running out to save Cassidy. When Cassidy’s lifeless body is discovered dumped on a busy highway near a patch of forest, Beth is devastated. And as more girls go missing, she fears the murderer is escalating. A breakthrough finally comes when she finds a name written in blood next to one of the bodies. Beth knows she’s close to catching the killer and is determined to stop any more lives from being taken—even if it means serving her own form of justice. Will she be able to resist the urge to take a life herself? Or will she become the killer’s next victim?  Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Lisa Regan and Melinda Leigh, this absolutely nail-biting new crime series from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, D.K.

Emily has witnessed the murder of her parents – murders that the authorities believe are part of a larger wave of crime. However, Emily can’t seem to recall a thing about the killings. When the murderers come after Emily, Jane’s boss sends the two of them to a remote town in Colorado. There, Jane, who doesn’t have a maternal bone in her body, must pose as Emily’s mother and serve as her protector. At the same time, she needs to help Emily slowly remember the devastating event without traumatizing her further. And while she does so, the killer is closing in . . .  PROTECTOR marks the debut of Jane Perry, an immensely flawed, utterly sympathetic character that readers have already found entrancing. She is the kind of nuanced hero that makes for continuously interesting reading.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23n4rgvpsk46xnq5tce9az.jpg?v=e118f0ae5a","L6B3NC~U0M4;~SofaeWBR4IV%1%1",494,[235],{"id":236,"slug":237,"name":238},"01kx23n4rbqaq97838pbsj9x08","laurel-dewey-do33","Laurel Dewey",[240,241,242,243,244,245],{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":59,"name":60,"slug":61,"is_fiction":21},{"id":55,"name":56,"slug":57,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":248,"themes":249,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[92,93],[195,250],"revenge",{"id":252,"slug":253,"title":254,"description":255,"primary_cover_url":256,"cover_blurhash":257,"first_publish_year":258,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":259,"authors":260,"genres":265,"series":276,"enrichment":282},"01kx23wdny74qsgfsje0tn7bbh","the-devils-closet-uvym","The Devil's Closet","Detective CeeCee Gallagher is no stranger to high-pressure cases.

He and detective Carol Jordan have put away scores of dangerous criminals at a rate that colleagues envy. But there is one serial killer who has shaped and defined their careers, and whose evil surpasses all others: Jacko Vance, ex-celebrity and sociopath whose brilliance and utter lack of remorse have never left Tony's mind in the ten years since his imprisonment. Now Jacko has escaped from prison--even more twisted and cunning than before, he is focused on wreaking revenge on Tony and Carol for his years spent in prison. Tony and Carol don't know when Jacko will strike, or where. All they know is that Jacko will cause them to feel fear like they've never known. A chilling, utterly gripping tour de force, The Retribution is the ideal introduction or re-introduction to the world of Tony Hill and Carol Jordan.

One of the Best or Most Anticipated Books of 2022: Newsweek • PopSugar • E! News • Goodreads • Book Riot • BookBub • The Nerd Daily • SheReads • Novel Suspects • Crime by the Book • London Times A Library Reads Selection—Best Book Voted By Librarians for March 2022 “The night was expected to bring tragedy.” So begins one of the most highly-anticipated thrillers in recent years. It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end in chaos: planes falling from the sky, elevators plunging to earth, world markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse. None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working late at the store are attacked. Only one inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again. Fifteen years later, more teenage employees are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive. In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre who’s forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who’s convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who must delve into the secrets of both nights—stirring up memories of teen love and lies—to uncover the truth about murders on the night shift. Twisty, poignant, and redemptive, The Night Shift is a story about the legacy of trauma and how the broken can come out on the other side, and it solidifies Finlay as one of the new leading voices in the world of thrillers.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxf1zn5s2j4j8gcawmhn5p40.jpg?v=bfb6e209a5","L49P.+}[4,V@M|I;OFX80JMxsojs",2022,344,[385],{"id":386,"slug":387,"name":388},"01kxej1vdntxejgkb1rm36ndg1","alex-finlay-yorv","Alex Finlay",[390,391,392,393,394,395,396],{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":268,"name":269,"slug":270,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":55,"name":56,"slug":57,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":399,"themes":400,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[92,93],[401,402],"dual-timeline","unreliable-narrator",[404,608,783],{"key":405,"params":406,"works":407},"genre_year",{"genre":44,"year":9},[408,464,503,525,558,587],{"id":409,"slug":410,"title":411,"description":412,"primary_cover_url":413,"cover_blurhash":414,"first_publish_year":382,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":415,"authors":416,"genres":421,"series":454,"enrichment":455},"01kkfh6kcwb95csys6sfsfvdnq","lhacienda-ywnc","The Hacienda","In the turbulent aftermath of the Mexican War of Independence, Beatriz has lost everything: her father executed, her home destroyed, her mother's family unwilling to take her in.

The moment her husband returns to the capital, the house turns against Beatriz — cold spots, voices, red eyes in the dark, and dreams that leave marks.

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",320,[623],{"id":624,"slug":625,"name":626},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[628,629,630,631,632,633],{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":268,"name":269,"slug":270,"is_fiction":21},{"id":150,"name":151,"slug":152,"is_fiction":21},[635],{"id":636,"slug":637,"name":638,"position":222,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":640,"themes":642,"setting_period":7,"summary":616,"content_warnings":7},[92,93,94,641],"gritty",[402,194,195],{"id":644,"slug":645,"title":646,"description":647,"primary_cover_url":648,"cover_blurhash":649,"first_publish_year":650,"community_rating_avg":651,"community_rating_count":35,"page_count":652,"authors":653,"genres":658,"series":665,"enrichment":666},"01kkfjcwd9pyqkj99a7ytvn00d","the-chalk-man-p6rr","The Chalk Man","In the quiet English village of Anderbury, twelve-year-old Eddie Adams and his tight-knit group of friends invent a private code: chalk stick figures, each child drawing in their own colour to leave secret messages for the others.

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.

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",21,338,[834],{"id":835,"slug":836,"name":837},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[839,840,841,842,843],{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":268,"name":269,"slug":270,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":846,"themes":847,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[92,94,93],[402],{"id":849,"slug":850,"title":851,"description":852,"primary_cover_url":853,"cover_blurhash":854,"first_publish_year":855,"community_rating_avg":856,"community_rating_count":808,"page_count":857,"authors":858,"genres":863,"series":877,"enrichment":882},"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. It is the second novel featuring Robert Langdon and the book that made Dan Brown a global phenomenon.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6hg4bj85xmzpemc2cswcp.jpg","LCH,^QENxYS4.lWXt6sn9gj[R,WC",2003,"4.31",454,[859],{"id":860,"slug":861,"name":862},"01kjq7nrb18rgx9m126z6hryqe","dan-brown-pwui","Dan Brown",[864,865,866,867,868,872,873],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":442,"name":443,"slug":444,"is_fiction":21},{"id":869,"name":870,"slug":871,"is_fiction":20},75,"Philosophy & Religion","philosophy-religion",{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":874,"name":875,"slug":876,"is_fiction":20},70,"History","history",[878],{"id":879,"slug":880,"name":881,"position":281,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7nrssg9jm7at57d8e2wh2","robert-langdon-nnyu","Robert Langdon",{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":883,"themes":885,"setting_period":7,"summary":886,"content_warnings":7},[93,94,884],"intellectual",[671],"A murder inside the Louvre pulls symbologist Robert Langdon into an overnight chase across Paris and London, chasing a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.",{"id":888,"slug":889,"title":890,"description":891,"primary_cover_url":892,"cover_blurhash":893,"first_publish_year":894,"community_rating_avg":895,"community_rating_count":808,"page_count":896,"authors":897,"genres":902,"series":909,"enrichment":910},"01kjq7te00e1c1w3h3vj67a7hn","gone-girl-a6u8","Gone Girl","On the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy Dunne disappears from the Missouri house she shares with her husband, Nick. 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,[898],{"id":899,"slug":900,"name":901},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[903,904,905,906,907,908],{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":268,"name":269,"slug":270,"is_fiction":21},{"id":361,"name":362,"slug":363,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":911,"themes":912,"setting_period":7,"summary":913,"content_warnings":7},[92,93],[402,401],"On their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne's wife, Amy, vanishes, leaving behind a trail of clues that suggest a struggle.

College is weeks away, the podcast that once thrilled her now feels like a burden, and the toll of her past cases has followed her home in ways she can barely admit. Then the messages start: an anonymous stalker leaving chalk figures and dead pigeons, asking a single chilling question. The police dismiss her fears, but Pip recognizes the pattern. It matches an old case she thought was long closed, and it is pointing straight at her.\n\nAs the threat closes in, Pip is forced to confront how far the justice she believes in has actually reached, and how much of herself she has lost chasing the truth for other people. This final book pushes her to a breaking point and asks what a good girl does when the system fails and the danger is personal.\n\nThe devastating conclusion to Holly Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy trades tidy whodunit for something rawer and more morally fraught. It is a darker, more intense read than the earlier books, closing Pip's arc with choices that leave no one, including the reader, entirely comfortable.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjr6z62s19x7p1v3p5m1wzen.jpg","L48qNkae00-=-;ofIUax00of~WM_","4.50",14,464,[957,958],{"id":799,"slug":800,"name":801},{"id":959,"slug":960,"name":961},"01kkcrxqwsvyss408w4mxewyng","maria-carcamo-ramos-rhoe","María Cárcamo Ramos",[963,964,965,966,967],{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":808,"name":809,"slug":810,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},[969],{"id":817,"slug":818,"name":790,"position":322,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":820,"mood":971,"themes":972,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[92,93],[],[974],{"id":975,"slug":976,"title":977,"user":978,"work_id":4,"is_draft":20,"verified_reader":21,"featured":20,"body":985,"overall_rating":31,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":986,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":987,"like_count":18,"comment_count":18,"top_likers":988,"viewer_can_reply":20,"created_at":989,"updated_at":989},"01kxpqrt2c9qjgtza06924aqsa","review-of-dark-hearts-a-totally-addictive-and-absolutely-gripping-crime-thriller-by-nadene","Review of \"Dark Hearts A totally addictive and absolutely gripping crime thriller\" by nadene",{"id":979,"name":980,"username":981,"avatar_url":982,"is_system":20,"published_reviews_count":983,"books_read_count":984},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837,"D.K.

She harbors a secret unknown to her colleagues at the bureau: she is the notorious Tarot Killer, who exclusively preys on other serial killers. Utilizing her expertise in cybercrimes division, she identifies her targets and methodically removes them, all while meticulously ensuring that no evidence connects her to the crimes.\n\nWhile searching for her next target, Beth stumbles upon a case involving murders in convenience stores followed by the kidnapping of young women. The details of the case awaken her darker instincts. The subsequent deaths of the kidnapped victims intensify Beth and her Stiles resolve to end this reign of terror.\n\nDark Hearts was a hit in nail-biting suspense, captivating the reader from beginning to end. The storyline, especially the scenes detailing Beth's personal agenda, was laced with dark undertones. As the story deepened, the intensity mounted, drawing the reader further into the thrilling aspects of this riveting story.\n\nIn this installment, readers gain insight into what motivates Beth and the triggers of her dark side. It's astonishing how she seamlessly integrates with her colleagues without them discovering her true persona. Despite being the daughter of a serial killer, her inner darkness remains unnoticed. Yet, there is one individual on the team Beth tries to avoid: FBI Agent Joe Wells, the bureau's leading profiler of serial killers.\n\nI'm truly enjoying this series. The dynamics between Beth and Stiles bring a mix of light-heartedness and emotional depth to the story. I appreciate how she can lower her defenses around Stiles. However, I'm concerned that in doing so, she might accidentally expose her secret. The developing bond between Stiles and Beth is captivating. One can't help but ponder the consequences if Beth's secret were to come to light, and the subsequent effect it might have on her relationship with Stiles.\n\nOverall, this was a solid addition to the series, and I am eager for the next installment.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpqrt2c9qjgtza06924aqsa",[],"2026-07-17T00:31:37.000000Z"]
