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",344,[358],{"id":359,"slug":360,"name":361},"01kxej1vdntxejgkb1rm36ndg1","alex-finlay-yorv","Alex Finlay",[363,364,365,366,367,368,369],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":18},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":18},{"id":370,"name":371,"slug":372,"is_fiction":18},205,"Small-Town Romance","small-town-romance",[],{"pace":72,"complexity":7,"audience":75,"mood":375,"themes":376,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[77,78],[122,298],{"id":378,"slug":379,"title":380,"description":381,"primary_cover_url":382,"cover_blurhash":383,"first_publish_year":384,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":385,"authors":386,"genres":388,"series":393,"enrichment":395},"01kxfwbvmx6skx4b48z78zdtnz","left-for-dead-e5xa","Left For Dead","Shopping with her sister, DI Amy Winter notices a mannequin in a wedding dress in a bridal boutique window, and then the blood at its mouth.

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:","3.86",7,320,[416],{"id":417,"slug":418,"name":419},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[421,422,423,424,425,426],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":18},{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":427,"name":428,"slug":429,"is_fiction":18},210,"Noir","noir",[431],{"id":432,"slug":433,"name":434,"position":118,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":72,"complexity":7,"audience":75,"mood":436,"themes":437,"setting_period":7,"summary":439,"content_warnings":7},[77,78,204,79],[298,81,244,266,438],"betrayal","A chance airport-bar meeting turns lethal when Ted confesses he'd like his cheating wife dead — and the poised stranger beside him, Lily, offers to help.

Grieving the death of his infant son and estranged from his wife, he holds the horror at arm's length — until a supplier gifts him a live female specimen, and keeping her forces him to confront the humanity the whole system depends on denying.\n\nAgustina Bazterrica's spare, unflinching dystopia is a work of literary horror that uses institutionalized cannibalism as a mirror for industrial farming, capitalism, and the everyday machinery of dehumanization. It builds to an ending readers rarely forget.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjek4vrn4y7g8yakpspwk9.jpg","LBJ5[myX0~5Q005k1@bbLM;8}toy","3.63",[681,685],{"id":682,"slug":683,"name":684},"01kjraxaz8z2rssbjtsep0efpd","agustina-bazterrica-rd1b","Agustina Bazterrica",{"id":686,"slug":687,"name":688},"01kkc4xrrxp5ab4pzsvnqzgxn9","sarah-moses-en5j","Sarah Moses",[690,693,694,698,699],{"id":67,"name":691,"slug":692,"is_fiction":18},"Science Fiction","science-fiction",{"id":413,"name":513,"slug":514,"is_fiction":18},{"id":695,"name":696,"slug":697,"is_fiction":18},28,"Dystopian","dystopian",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":467,"name":468,"slug":469,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":75,"mood":702,"themes":703,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[77,78],[],{"id":705,"slug":706,"title":707,"description":708,"primary_cover_url":709,"cover_blurhash":710,"first_publish_year":711,"community_rating_avg":712,"community_rating_count":28,"page_count":713,"authors":714,"genres":719,"series":728,"enrichment":729},"01kkfjham5t699p5m5ehgevh87","horrorstor-mxai","Horrorstör","Something is wrong at Orsk, the sprawling Scandinavian furniture superstore on the edge of Cleveland.

With sales sinking and corporate breathing down their necks, three employees agree to work a secret nine-hour shift through the night to catch whoever is responsible.\n\nAmy is a cynical twenty-something clock-watcher who just wants a transfer and a bigger paycheck. Her relentlessly upbeat manager Basil sees the overnight patrol as a chance to prove himself, and kindly veteran clerk Ruth Anne comes along for the company. But the store they think they know so well becomes a labyrinth after dark, and the thing haunting its identical model rooms has been waiting a long time for visitors.\n\nGrady Hendrix's Horrorstör is designed to look like a mail-order furniture catalog, complete with product illustrations that curdle from cheerful to horrifying as the night goes on. Equal parts genuine haunted-house novel and razor-sharp satire of consumer culture and soul-deadening retail work, it's a fast, funny, and surprisingly frightening read about the horrors of the modern workplace.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhaprw1negedw6gg2fxam.jpg","LqN0;rbcx^t7.AadadkCoeafV@ay",2014,"3.50",248,[715],{"id":716,"slug":717,"name":718},"01kkc5xe56n9daq302gyqzj10w","grady-hendrix-vwgm","Grady Hendrix",[720,721,722,723,724],{"id":413,"name":513,"slug":514,"is_fiction":18},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":521,"name":522,"slug":523,"is_fiction":18},{"id":725,"name":726,"slug":727,"is_fiction":18},118,"Satire","satire",[],{"pace":72,"complexity":7,"audience":75,"mood":730,"themes":732,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[731,78],"funny",[],{"id":734,"slug":735,"title":736,"description":737,"primary_cover_url":738,"cover_blurhash":739,"first_publish_year":97,"community_rating_avg":740,"community_rating_count":28,"page_count":741,"authors":742,"genres":747,"series":754,"enrichment":755},"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.

Millie’s employer, Nina Winchester, is erratic and increasingly cruel, leaving impossible demands and cleaning up messes that make no sense, while Nina’s charming husband, Andrew, treats Millie with a warmth that feels like a lifeline. As Millie tries to keep her head down and her past hidden, she realizes the household’s polished surface conceals something far more dangerous, and that the question of who holds the power here is not as settled as it looks.

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[",19,338,[1060],{"id":1061,"slug":1062,"name":1063},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[1065,1066,1067,1068,1069],{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":72,"complexity":7,"audience":75,"mood":1072,"themes":1073,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[77,204,78],[298],{"id":1075,"slug":1076,"title":1077,"description":1078,"primary_cover_url":1079,"cover_blurhash":1080,"first_publish_year":97,"community_rating_avg":1081,"community_rating_count":885,"page_count":1082,"authors":1083,"genres":1088,"series":1098,"enrichment":1099},"01kjq80kf9938jetgptddrgx9j","verity-oqqr","Verity","Struggling author Lowen Ashby accepts an assignment: travel to the home of bestselling thriller writer Verity Crawford, incapacitated after an accident, and ghostwrite the remaining books in Verity's series.

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,[1113],{"id":1114,"slug":1115,"name":1116},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[1118,1119,1120,1121,1122,1123],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":18},{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":107,"name":108,"slug":109,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":72,"complexity":7,"audience":75,"mood":1126,"themes":1127,"setting_period":7,"summary":1128,"content_warnings":7},[77,78],[298,122],"On their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne's wife, Amy, vanishes, leaving behind a trail of clues that suggest a struggle.

None of them has met their absent host, the elusive U. N. Owen, and as the boat that brought them departs, they settle in for what promises to be an unusual stay. After dinner on the first evening, a recorded voice fills the room, accusing every guest of having caused a death and escaped justice. Soon afterward, one of them dies. As a storm cuts the island off from the mainland, the remaining guests realize their deaths are being staged to mirror the verses of an old nursery rhyme that hangs framed in each bedroom. One by one, the survivors fall, and with no way to summon help and no sign of any other living soul, suspicion turns inward. Each person studies the others, certain that the killer is among them, while the rhyme counts steadily down. Trapped, watched, and unable to trust anyone, they must reckon with the secrets that brought them here even as the circle of the living shrinks. Christie builds a closed, methodical puzzle in which guilt, fear, and isolation press on every character, and the question is not only who will be next but how anyone could orchestrate such a sequence of deaths on a deserted island. It is a tightly constructed account of crime and consequence with no series detective to set things right.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksy9raxgnkqzkkte10snkk4f.jpg","LGCs{+-TD*bI00NfWDRj.Tt7%Mxu",1951,"4.58",12,187,[1170],{"id":1171,"slug":1172,"name":1173},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[1175,1176,1177,1178,1179,1180],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":18},{"id":645,"name":646,"slug":647,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":72,"complexity":7,"audience":75,"mood":1183,"themes":1184,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,204,77],[1014],[]]
