Thrillers

Why We Lie
by Amy Impellizzeri
This novel examines the unexpected consequences of those who tell the truth about abuse and those who lie, and asks the question: is the truth always worth the cost? It also exposes the core of the #metoo movement in the legal/political realm.

 

 

 

The Mother-In-Law
by Sally Hepworth
From the moment Lucy met her husband’s mother, she knew she wasn’t the wife Diana had envisioned for her perfect son. A twisty, compelling novel about one woman’s complicated relationship with her mother-in-law. 

 

 

 

The Perfect Alibi 
by Phillip Margolin
A young woman accuses a prominent local college athlete of rape. Convicted with DNA evidence, the athlete swears his innocence. Not long after, there’s another rape, and the DNA test shows that the same person committed both rapes.  How?

The Girl He Used to Know 
by Tracey Garvis Graves
