Doctor Rowan Dupont knows a serial killer is coming for her. Julian Addington has been waiting. Watching. And it's only a matter of time before he strikes. But what Julian doesn't know is that Rowan is ready for him. And more than anything she wants answers. How well did the depraved killer actually know her mother? And how many lies have been spun in the years since she took her own life? Working alongside her childhood friend Police Chief Billy Brannigan, Rowan is determined to get to the bottom of her mother's puzzling suicide once and for all—even if it means exposing an unsettling past. It certainly seems like her family's Victorian funeral home has borne witness to more than one dark secret, but when a recent double homicide leads to an even grislier discovery, separating the truth from the lies might be the last thing Rowan does.

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.

All of the victims are taken at night and found dead the following morning, so Beth knows time is running out to save Cassidy.

The master forensic sleuth finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence except fragments of copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so perfect they cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techno genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta's own flesh and blood.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxq5fd112xhtq88v7dja6h89.jpg?v=231b4db694","LIDTFnRinhWADhofbvof_NV@xuj]",2014,464,[242],{"id":243,"slug":244,"name":245},"01kjt75ggjtfky7vbyak6yzd4t","patricia-cornwell-k6b0","Patricia Cornwell",[247,248,249,250,251],{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":254,"themes":255,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[98,99],[],{"id":257,"slug":258,"title":259,"description":260,"primary_cover_url":261,"cover_blurhash":262,"first_publish_year":263,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":264,"authors":265,"genres":270,"series":277,"enrichment":283},"01kxf589v0b0sh875yw7d926d9","girl-in-the-ice-mlaj","Girl in the Ice","\"When a young boy discovers the body of a woman beneath a thick sheet of ice in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is called in to lead the murder investigation.

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,[295],{"id":296,"slug":297,"name":298},"01kx23n4rbqaq97838pbsj9x08","laurel-dewey-do33","Laurel Dewey",[300,301,302,303,304,305],{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":21},{"id":128,"name":129,"slug":130,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":308,"themes":309,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[142,98],[231,310],"revenge",{"id":312,"slug":313,"title":314,"description":315,"primary_cover_url":316,"cover_blurhash":317,"first_publish_year":318,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":319,"authors":320,"genres":325,"series":336,"enrichment":341},"01kx23wdny74qsgfsje0tn7bbh","the-devils-closet-uvym","The Devil's Closet","Detective CeeCee Gallagher is no stranger to high-pressure cases.

Frank Cauldhame is sixteen, lives with his reclusive father on a small tidal island, and has never been to school or seen a doctor. He fills his days with private rituals: Sacrifice Poles ringing the island, and the Wasp Factory itself, an old clock face rigged with tiny death-traps that Frank consults like an oracle.\n\nThe novel's tension builds around the return of Frank's older brother Eric, who escaped a psychiatric institution and is making his way home, growing more unstable with every phone call.

It suits readers of dark, literary horror who want disturbing content examined with intelligence rather than played for shock alone, and who are comfortable with an unreliable narrator building toward a genuinely destabilizing final twist.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfg92pwdb4e0gph4tdvxdqw.jpg","L#LzQ:n~xaofx^WCofkC.TWBt7of",1984,184,[628],{"id":629,"slug":630,"name":631},"01kjsv9tpjq7n4t5ezv5k24rh3","iain-banks-3snp","Iain Banks",[633,637,638,639,640,641,645],{"id":634,"name":635,"slug":636,"is_fiction":21},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":436,"name":437,"slug":438,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":427,"name":428,"slug":429,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":642,"name":643,"slug":644,"is_fiction":21},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":503,"name":504,"slug":505,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":94,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":648,"themes":650,"setting_period":7,"summary":651,"content_warnings":7},[142,98,99,446,649,479,515],"complex",[481],"Sixteen-year-old Frank Cauldhame lives an isolated life with his eccentric father on a small Scottish island, connected to the mainland by a single bridge and governed by his own private rituals — including the Wasp Factory, a device Frank uses to read omens in the deaths of insects.

The first book in the series that became McFadden’s global breakout, it delivers the mid-book reversal that made her a fixture of word-of-mouth thriller recommendations.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kt00pafvm3xp5a40d89aw7gk.jpg","LAAUROWW0DtS8yjYSzflDzfi}gaJ","3.88",29,336,[825],{"id":826,"slug":827,"name":828},"01kjq6vqz43b3s9yqphjeqza92","freida-mcfadden-1fv8","Freida McFadden",[830,831,832,833,834],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":328,"name":329,"slug":330,"is_fiction":21},{"id":760,"name":761,"slug":762,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},[836],{"id":837,"slug":838,"name":817,"position":282,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq6vr4sw1ngqsw85k06gqd3","the-housemaid-rcay",{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":840,"themes":841,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[98,142,99],[481,231],{"id":843,"slug":844,"title":845,"description":846,"primary_cover_url":847,"cover_blurhash":848,"first_publish_year":849,"community_rating_avg":850,"community_rating_count":851,"page_count":852,"authors":853,"genres":858,"series":873,"enrichment":879},"01kk4gg93svhxrn8kachwsj92r","harry-potter-and-the-prisoner-of-azkaban-yeb7","Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban","Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts begins under a shadow. Sirius Black, convicted of betraying Harry's parents to Lord Voldemort and of killing thirteen people with a single curse, has escaped from Azkaban — the first person ever to do so. The Ministry of Magic believes Black is coming for Harry. The school is placed under the guard of the dementors, soul-draining prison wardens whose effect on Harry is more severe than on anyone else, plunging him into traumatic flashbacks every time they appear.\n\nAmid this, Harry finds an unexpected mentor in the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin, whose calm competence and personal connection to Harry's past make him the most significant adult figure Harry has encountered since Hagrid. A stolen Marauder's Map, a time-turner, and a truth that contradicts everything Harry has been told about his parents' deaths combine to make this the most structurally inventive instalment in the series.\n\nWidely regarded as the moment the Harry Potter novels found their full emotional and thematic range, Prisoner of Azkaban marks the shift from middle-grade adventure to something darker, more morally complex, and more deeply concerned with justice, loyalty, and the way the past refuses to stay buried.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kk4gg93svhxrn8kachwsj92r.jpg?v=febfa7c948","LLA.WA*J8wMeMoMxjCs.4Xaj.5V@",1999,"4.57",25,404,[854],{"id":855,"slug":856,"name":857},"01kjq6wezv5p3d2q4859b4yr8b","j-k-rowling-vwul","J.

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,[894],{"id":895,"slug":896,"name":897},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[899,900,901,902,903,904],{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":21},{"id":862,"name":863,"slug":864,"is_fiction":21},{"id":905,"name":906,"slug":907,"is_fiction":21},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[909],{"id":910,"slug":911,"name":887,"position":282,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":880,"mood":913,"themes":914,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[99,98,142],[],{"id":916,"slug":917,"title":918,"description":919,"primary_cover_url":920,"cover_blurhash":921,"first_publish_year":558,"community_rating_avg":922,"community_rating_count":923,"page_count":924,"authors":925,"genres":930,"series":940,"enrichment":941},"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.

Someone, or something, has begun attacking students, leaving them petrified and frozen with fear, and cryptic messages scrawled on the walls: the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir, beware.\n\nAs suspicion spreads and the attacks continue, Harry discovers he has an unsettling ability: he can hear a voice in the walls that no one else can detect, and he can speak to snakes in a language called Parseltongue — a gift that, in the Wizarding World, carries a disturbing reputation. Working with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, Harry follows the evidence into Hogwarts' hidden history, uncovering the story of a student who opened the Chamber fifty years earlier and the nature of the monster that has been sealed inside ever since.\n\nDarker in tone than its predecessor, the second Harry Potter novel deepens the mythology of the Wizarding World and introduces the concept of magical memory as a vessel for evil — a plot thread that will echo through all seven books.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjq6weznr22ypqn6n2ykw555.jpg?v=390eeea787","L6Bpp^5nEyvP90%K8~t403#m~STb",1998,"4.35",351,[955],{"id":855,"slug":856,"name":857},[957,958,959,960,961,965,966],{"id":588,"name":799,"slug":800,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":905,"name":906,"slug":907,"is_fiction":21},{"id":866,"name":867,"slug":868,"is_fiction":21},{"id":962,"name":963,"slug":964,"is_fiction":21},65,"Middle Grade","middle-grade",{"id":870,"name":871,"slug":872,"is_fiction":21},{"id":862,"name":863,"slug":864,"is_fiction":21},[968],{"id":875,"slug":876,"name":877,"position":63,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":880,"mood":970,"themes":971,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[99,98,142],[],{"id":973,"slug":974,"title":975,"description":976,"primary_cover_url":977,"cover_blurhash":978,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":979,"community_rating_count":980,"page_count":981,"authors":982,"genres":987,"series":993,"enrichment":994},"01kjq77dx08ykthbbb7jc7p80m","the-silent-patient-cfa9","The Silent Patient","Alicia Berenson's life looks perfect.

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,[983],{"id":984,"slug":985,"name":986},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[988,989,990,991,992],{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":328,"name":329,"slug":330,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":995,"themes":996,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[142,99,98],[481],[998],{"id":999,"slug":1000,"title":1001,"user":1002,"work_id":4,"is_draft":20,"verified_reader":21,"featured":20,"body":1009,"overall_rating":95,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":1010,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":1011,"like_count":18,"comment_count":18,"top_likers":1012,"viewer_can_reply":20,"created_at":1013,"updated_at":1013},"01kxpqsfde691ar8eekswkx1qd","review-of-the-lies-we-tell-by-nadene","Review of \"The Lies We Tell\" by nadene",{"id":1003,"name":1004,"username":1005,"avatar_url":1006,"is_system":20,"published_reviews_count":1007,"books_read_count":1008},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837,"The Lies We Tell by Debra Webb continues the story of Doctor Rowan Dupont. It proved to be more twisted than the previous books. Rowan is trying to live her life as normal as possible, however the knowledge that a serial killer has her in his crosshairs makes it difficult. Now when she thought things couldn’t get crazier, a body ends upon her embalming table, which she discovers may somehow have a connection to her mother. A discovery which led to her having more questions about her past. Besides this craziness, she finds herself embroiled in a double homicide, which may or may not be linked to the serial killer.\n\nEveryone Rowan trusted had betrayed her except for her best friend, the Chief of Police, Billy Winters who is determined to protect her with his last breath. Their feelings for each other went beyond friendship, however past and current events proved a stumbling block in allowing it to develop further. In this installment, readers are treated to a ringside view of the transformation of their relationship. However, a note of warning several references were made regarding Rowan’s attraction to Billy from her teenage years. This may prove frustrating for readers who are not fans of repetitive journeys down memory lane. In addition, readers may find Rowan’s deep-seated need to hide things from him frustrating, even though she believed it was justifiable.\n\nThe mystery surrounding the murders in this installment was easily solved as not a lot of guesswork was involved. However, the facts proved interesting. The main plot has yet to be tied up and as such the book ended with several unanswered questions and danger still dogging the heroine’s door. \n\nThe suspense will not only have readers on the edge of their seats but will have them turning the pages seeking answers. The turn of events at the end will leave one mind boggled and wondering what this could mean for the main characters. \n\nConclusion\u002FRecommendation \nDebra Webb has captivated readers with another twisted and page turning tale. Fans of the author would love this series and for readers who love suspenseful stories this is a must read.","none","rv-01kxpqsfde691ar8eekswkx1qd",[],"2026-07-17T00:31:59.000000Z"]
