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,[96],{"id":97,"slug":98,"name":99},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[101,102,106,107,111,115],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":103,"name":104,"slug":105,"is_fiction":18},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":108,"name":109,"slug":110,"is_fiction":18},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":112,"name":113,"slug":114,"is_fiction":18},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":18},210,"Noir","noir",[120],{"id":121,"slug":122,"name":123,"position":124,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner","1.00",{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":69,"mood":126,"themes":129,"setting_period":7,"summary":88,"content_warnings":7},[72,71,127,128],"mysterious","gritty",[130,131,132],"unreliable-narrator","multiple-povs","morally-grey",{"id":134,"slug":135,"title":136,"description":137,"primary_cover_url":138,"cover_blurhash":139,"first_publish_year":140,"community_rating_avg":141,"community_rating_count":103,"page_count":142,"authors":143,"genres":148,"series":157,"enrichment":158},"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.

Ted knows the neighbours think the worst of him. He also knows there are gaps in his memory he would rather not examine.\n\nThen Dee moves into the empty house next door. 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.

Barely conscious, he tells them he is the answer to their prayers: he is God.\n\nMitch Albom's The Stranger in the Lifeboat is narrated through the notebook of survivor Benji Kobi, found a year after the raft is discovered empty on the shores of the island of Montserrat. Chief Inspector Jarty LeFleur, an investigator with his own crisis of faith, pieces together Benji's account to determine what happened to the passengers — and whether the stranger they rescued was truly divine, a symptom of collective desperation, or something else entirely.\n\nAlbom, known for Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, again turns a survival story into a meditation on belief: what people do when they cry out for help, and what happens when something answers.

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,[709],{"id":710,"slug":711,"name":712},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[714,715,716,717,718,722],{"id":108,"name":109,"slug":110,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":103,"name":104,"slug":105,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":719,"name":720,"slug":721,"is_fiction":18},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":723,"name":724,"slug":725,"is_fiction":18},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[727],{"id":728,"slug":729,"name":702,"position":124,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":731,"mood":732,"themes":733,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[127,71,72],[],{"id":735,"slug":736,"title":737,"description":738,"primary_cover_url":739,"cover_blurhash":740,"first_publish_year":241,"community_rating_avg":741,"community_rating_count":742,"page_count":743,"authors":744,"genres":749,"series":755,"enrichment":756},"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",21,338,[745],{"id":746,"slug":747,"name":748},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[750,751,752,753,754],{"id":108,"name":109,"slug":110,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":103,"name":104,"slug":105,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":112,"name":113,"slug":114,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":69,"mood":757,"themes":758,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[72,127,71],[130],{"id":760,"slug":761,"title":762,"description":763,"primary_cover_url":764,"cover_blurhash":765,"first_publish_year":766,"community_rating_avg":767,"community_rating_count":719,"page_count":768,"authors":769,"genres":774,"series":788,"enrichment":793},"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.

Simon dies from an allergic reaction that looks less and less like an accident, and the police quickly zero in on the four students left in the room: each of them was about to be exposed by one of Simon's next posts, and each had a reason to want him silenced.\n\nAs the investigation drags on and the media descends, the four suspects are forced into uneasy alliance, piecing together what really happened even as the secrets Simon meant to reveal threaten to come out anyway — from each other, if not from him. Told in alternating first-person chapters, One of Us Is Lying is a fast-paced YA mystery about the personas built to survive high school and what happens when they start to crack.\n\nKaren M.

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,[841],{"id":842,"slug":843,"name":844},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[846,847,848,849,850,851],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":103,"name":104,"slug":105,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":108,"name":109,"slug":110,"is_fiction":18},{"id":112,"name":113,"slug":114,"is_fiction":18},{"id":254,"name":255,"slug":256,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":69,"mood":854,"themes":855,"setting_period":7,"summary":856,"content_warnings":7},[72,71],[130,163],"On their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne's wife, Amy, vanishes, leaving behind a trail of clues that suggest a struggle.

From the window she watches a young couple she has never met, inventing perfect lives for them and clinging to the fantasy as her own life falls apart under the weight of divorce and drinking.\n\nThen one morning she sees something shocking from the train, and days later the woman she has been watching is reported missing. Convinced she holds a piece of the puzzle, Rachel inserts herself into the investigation and into the lives of the people involved, even as her blackouts leave her unable to trust her own memory of that night.\n\nTold in the alternating, unreliable voices of three women, Paula Hawkins's debut is a taut psychological thriller about addiction, obsession, and the gap between the lives we imagine and the ones people actually live behind closed doors.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksy95yjcetbm092fdnmkbvhb.jpg","L49i;PC1HwkS~L-QNeWEE6^1pEn+",2016,"3.52",14,349,[869],{"id":870,"slug":871,"name":872},"01kjvxsspkhv8rs9t8jfpxvqry","paula-hawkins-8xsb","Paula Hawkins",[874,875,876,877,878,879],{"id":434,"name":435,"slug":436,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":108,"name":109,"slug":110,"is_fiction":18},{"id":112,"name":113,"slug":114,"is_fiction":18},{"id":103,"name":104,"slug":105,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":66,"complexity":7,"audience":69,"mood":882,"themes":883,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[72,71,127],[130,131],[885],{"id":886,"slug":887,"title":888,"user":889,"work_id":4,"is_draft":17,"verified_reader":18,"featured":17,"body":896,"overall_rating":68,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":897,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":898,"like_count":15,"comment_count":15,"top_likers":899,"viewer_can_reply":17,"created_at":900,"updated_at":900},"01kxpqyq9ac6w9sqq67tjvs4da","review-of-the-wildfire-girl-by-nadene","Review of \"The Wildfire Girl\" by nadene",{"id":890,"name":891,"username":892,"avatar_url":893,"is_system":17,"published_reviews_count":894,"books_read_count":895},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837,"I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.\"The Wildfire Girl,\" the eleventh book in the Detective Amanda Steele series, presents a thrilling mystery filled with complex characters and an intricate plot that will keep readers engaged until the last page.\n\n\"The Wildfire Girl\" kicks off with a shocking discovery: a charred body in an alley, burned beyond recognition. The only clue to the victim's identity is a wedding ring.  A ring that once belonged to Detective Trent Stenson's late uncle, now worn by his aunt's husband. This discovery places Trent's aunt under suspicion, but Trent believes in her innocence. This belief creates tension and conflict between him and his partner, Amanda Steele, as they navigate the complexities of the case.\n\nAfter years of trying to persuade his aunt to leave her abusive marriage, Trent was devastated when she finally gained her freedom only to become a murder suspect. Her shaky alibi and lack of cooperation only worsened the situation. Amanda, who also faces her own personal struggles, resolves to solve the case, even if it means putting Trent's aunt behind bars. Adding to the complication is the growing attraction between her and Trent.  This poses a serious problem since Amanda is already in a relationship.\n\nArnold masterfully portrays the characters' personal and professional lives in \"The Wildfire Girl.\" Readers witness their struggles to find balance, which often proves challenging. The mystery in this installment is particularly engaging, keeping readers guessing throughout the story. Despite having several theories, the introduction of another murder victim threw off all my guesses. This made the plot even more intriguing. It's a testament to Arnold's skill in crafting a suspenseful and unpredictable story.\n\nThe blend of mystery with characters' personal and professional lives made for an exciting and compelling read. Once again, Arnold delivered a thrilling tale, making this installment another great addition to the Detective Amanda Steele series.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpqyq9ac6w9sqq67tjvs4da",[],"2026-07-17T00:34:51.000000Z"]
