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,[381],{"id":382,"slug":383,"name":384},"01kxej1vdntxejgkb1rm36ndg1","alex-finlay-yorv","Alex Finlay",[386,387,391,392,393,394,395],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":388,"name":389,"slug":390,"is_fiction":17},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":124,"name":125,"slug":126,"is_fiction":17},{"id":396,"name":397,"slug":398,"is_fiction":17},205,"Small-Town Romance","small-town-romance",[],{"pace":167,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":401,"themes":402,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[87,88],[132,403],"unreliable-narrator",[405,627,804,980],{"key":406,"params":407,"works":408},"theme",{"theme":94},[409,443,467,507,562,593],{"id":410,"slug":411,"title":412,"description":413,"primary_cover_url":414,"cover_blurhash":415,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":416,"community_rating_count":84,"page_count":417,"authors":418,"genres":423,"series":433,"enrichment":438},"01kkfjhdbyasssdrp20n5e3w9e","the-kind-worth-killing-zvl8","The Kind Worth Killing","On a delayed flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson strikes up a drink-fueled conversation with an elegant stranger named Lily. 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",320,[419],{"id":420,"slug":421,"name":422},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[424,425,426,427,428,429],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":124,"name":125,"slug":126,"is_fiction":17},{"id":388,"name":389,"slug":390,"is_fiction":17},{"id":430,"name":431,"slug":432,"is_fiction":17},210,"Noir","noir",[434],{"id":435,"slug":436,"name":437,"position":165,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":167,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":439,"themes":440,"setting_period":7,"summary":442,"content_warnings":7},[87,88,90,169],[403,245,133,441,94],"revenge","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.

The security cameras record nothing. 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,[642],{"id":643,"slug":644,"name":645},"01kkc5xe56n9daq302gyqzj10w","grady-hendrix-vwgm","Grady Hendrix",[647,650,651,652,656],{"id":84,"name":648,"slug":649,"is_fiction":17},"Horror","horror",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":653,"name":654,"slug":655,"is_fiction":17},218,"Haunted House","haunted-house",{"id":657,"name":658,"slug":659,"is_fiction":17},118,"Satire","satire",[],{"pace":167,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":662,"themes":664,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[663,88],"funny",[],{"id":666,"slug":667,"title":668,"description":669,"primary_cover_url":670,"cover_blurhash":671,"first_publish_year":672,"community_rating_avg":673,"community_rating_count":27,"page_count":674,"authors":675,"genres":680,"series":687,"enrichment":688},"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. It's a harmless game — until, one summer in 1986, a trail of chalk figures leads them into the woods and to a discovery that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.\n\nThirty years later, Eddie is a schoolteacher trying to keep the past buried, when an anonymous letter arrives bearing a single chalk figure. He's not the only one; the surviving members of the old group each receive the same message. As the two timelines close in on one another, Eddie is forced back into the events of that summer and the question of what really happened — and who among them has never stopped playing the game.\n\nC.J.

In The Five, historian Hallie Rubenhold refuses that framing and instead reconstructs the full lives of Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.\n\nDrawing on extensive archival research, Rubenhold traces each woman from birth through the social forces — poverty, industrialization, unstable marriages, addiction, and the near-total lack of options available to working-class women — that led them to the streets of the East End. In doing so she dismantles the long-repeated assumption that all five were prostitutes, and restores to them the dignity of being understood as individuals rather than corpses.\n\nWinner of the Baillie Gifford Prize, The Five is a work of social history and biography that deliberately keeps its gaze away from the killer. It is a moving, meticulously researched portrait of Victorian womanhood and a corrective to one of the most famous true-crime narratives in the world.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhvydamqc4kf6cktbzx9b.jpg","LRAo4}V?DOog*0V?Mdt7IAbIoJj[",352,[817],{"id":818,"slug":819,"name":820},"01kkc81n9r3erfyea2z7aw3d9x","hallie-rubenhold-rew9","Hallie Rubenhold",[822,823,827,831,832,836],{"id":482,"name":483,"slug":484,"is_fiction":16},{"id":824,"name":825,"slug":826,"is_fiction":16},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":828,"name":829,"slug":830,"is_fiction":16},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":833,"name":834,"slug":835,"is_fiction":16},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":494,"name":495,"slug":496,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":839,"themes":840,"setting_period":7,"summary":841,"content_warnings":7},[504,505,130,92,87],[],"Historian Hallie Rubenhold reclaims the lives of the five women murdered by Jack the Ripper in 1888 — Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary Jane — refusing to center the killer.

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{","4.50",19,416,[995],{"id":996,"slug":997,"name":998},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[1000,1001,1002,1003,1004,1008],{"id":124,"name":125,"slug":126,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":1005,"name":1006,"slug":1007,"is_fiction":17},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":1009,"name":1010,"slug":1011,"is_fiction":17},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[1013],{"id":1014,"slug":1015,"name":987,"position":165,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":167,"complexity":7,"audience":1017,"mood":1018,"themes":1019,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[90,88,87],[],{"id":1021,"slug":1022,"title":1023,"description":1024,"primary_cover_url":1025,"cover_blurhash":1026,"first_publish_year":322,"community_rating_avg":142,"community_rating_count":992,"page_count":1027,"authors":1028,"genres":1033,"series":1039,"enrichment":1040},"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[",338,[1029],{"id":1030,"slug":1031,"name":1032},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[1034,1035,1036,1037,1038],{"id":124,"name":125,"slug":126,"is_fiction":17},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":388,"name":389,"slug":390,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":167,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":1041,"themes":1042,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[87,90,88],[403],{"id":1044,"slug":1045,"title":1046,"description":1047,"primary_cover_url":1048,"cover_blurhash":1049,"first_publish_year":779,"community_rating_avg":1050,"community_rating_count":1005,"page_count":1051,"authors":1052,"genres":1057,"series":1067,"enrichment":1068},"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","4.02",486,[1053],{"id":1054,"slug":1055,"name":1056},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[1058,1059,1060,1061,1062,1063],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":124,"name":125,"slug":126,"is_fiction":17},{"id":388,"name":389,"slug":390,"is_fiction":17},{"id":1064,"name":1065,"slug":1066,"is_fiction":17},43,"Domestic Thriller","domestic-thriller",[],{"pace":167,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":1069,"themes":1070,"setting_period":7,"summary":1071,"content_warnings":7},[87,88],[403,132],"On their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne's wife, Amy, vanishes, leaving behind a trail of clues that suggest a struggle.

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.
