About the Books

Little Voices by Vanessa Lillie (published October 2019)

With Starred Reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. Devon Burges is in the throes of a high-risk birth when she learns of her dear friend’s murder. The police quickly name another friend as the chief suspect, but Devon doesn’t buy it―and despite her difficult recovery, she decides to investigate.

For the Best by Vanessa Lillie (published September 2020)

A PopSugar Best Book of 2020. When Jules Worthington-Smith’s wallet is found next to a dead man, she becomes the prime suspect in his murder. After struggling for years to build the perfect family and career, she’s dangerously close to losing everything. 

Finding Mrs. Ford  by Deborah Goodrich Royce (published June 2019)

A Good Morning America Top Summer Read. On a sunny summer morning by the sea in New England, Susan Ford’s cocoon of privilege is threatened when an Iraqi man from her distant past boards a plane in Baghdad to come find her.

Ruby Falls  by Deborah Goodrich Royce (published May 2021)

The winner of the Zibby Award in 2021 for Best Plot Twist. Like the chilling psychological thriller, The Silent Patient, Deborah Goodrich Royce’s Ruby Falls is a nail-biting tale of a fragile young actress, the new husband she barely knows, and her growing suspicion that the secrets he harbors may eclipse her own.
