About the book
I didn’t plan on coming home at forty-three. And I definitely didn’t plan on letting the wrong man into our house.
Newly divorced, unemployed, and out of options, moving back into my childhood home was supposed to be temporary—just long enough to get back on my feet and take care of my mother.
But the house had problems I couldn’t fix. So I hired a handyman who said he could.
Lance Cutler arrived with confidence, charm, and every solution we needed. My mother welcomed him like a gift sent straight from heaven. And I wanted to believe that, too. I really did.
But the longer he stayed, the less safe our home felt.
The way he looks at me. The way he moves through the house like he belongs there. The day I realized someone had been through my underwear drawer…
That’s when I knew I’d made a mistake.
Now I’m trying to figure out whether I’m imagining things—or whether I’ve invited something dangerous into our lives.
And if I have…how do I get him out?
If you enjoy tense, twisty domestic thrillers where danger moves in quietly and home no longer feels safe, The Handyman will pull you in and refuse to let go until the final, stunning page.

“Castro is one of the most exciting genre authors on the scene right now, and this might be her most powerful book yet.”—Paste
A POPSUGAR AND CRIMEREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Alejandra no longer knows who she is. To her husband, she is a wife, and to her children, a mother. To her own adoptive mother, she is a daughter. But they cannot see who Alejandra has become: a woman struggling with a darkness that threatens to consume her.
Nor can they see what Alejandra sees. In times of despair, a ghostly vision appears to her, the apparition of a crying woman in a ragged white gown.
When Alejandra visits a therapist, she begins exploring her family’s history, starting with the biological mother she never knew. As she goes deeper into the lives of the women in her family, she learns that heartbreak and tragedy are not the only things she has in common with her ancestors.
Because the crying woman was with them, too. She is La Llorona, the vengeful and murderous mother of Mexican legend. And she will not leave until Alejandra follows her mother, her grandmother, and all the women who came before her into the darkness.
But Alejandra has inherited more than just pain. She has inherited the strength and the courage of her foremothers—and she will have to summon everything they have given her to banish La Llorona forever.

About the book
Don’t go near the attic door.
Don’t go outside after midnight.
Don’t ever listen to them.
Ghostwriter Callie Rowe has landed on what seems like a dream job: penning the memoir of her 90s rockstar crush, Riff Fall. But as she sets foot on remote Invisible Island, where Riff resides in his enigmatic beachfront mansion, she quickly realizes that beneath the allure of fame lies something more sinister.
Rumors swirl around Riff and his secluded existence, particularly concerning the inexplicable disappearance of his wife years ago. And entering Riff's world comes with a set of rules: never venture outside after midnight and steer clear of the blue door upstairs.
Despite her best intentions to keep personal and professional boundaries intact, Callie is drawn to Riff, whose troubled past intertwines with his present reality. Bound by a contract from decades ago, Riff is haunted not only by his lost reputation but also by something lurking just beyond the edges of his property.
But as Callie becomes entangled in Riff's self-imprisonment, she realizes that she, too, is being hunted by something malevolent. Forced to confront the darkness of her past and the terrifying truth about the price of fame, Callie wonders if she will discover Riff’s secrets or become the next victim of the night singers’ deadly symphony.
A music-laden tale of terror, The Night Singers explores the echoes of the past and the demented and dangerous journey that can lead to success or ruin.

About the book
The mysteries of a remote estate lead a young woman down a twisted path in this gripping gothic thriller from the Edgar Award–winning author of Or Else.
After a car accident took the lives of both her parents, Mira Caine’s transition to adulthood was hard and fast. Solely responsible for the welfare of her intellectually disabled younger brother, she’s searching for a better life for them both when she’s approached by an enigmatic woman with an offer that seems like the answer to their problems. Allison Wyndclyffe, the young heir to an enormous fortune who’s suffered her own trauma, is in need of a mentor and companion.
Isolated on an island in the St. Lawrence River lies the Wyndclyffe estate—beautiful but possessing a dark and complicated legacy. As Mira settles in and befriends her troubled charge, she quickly learns her new home is full of questions that no one wants to answer. What caused Allison’s father to murder his wife and almost kill his daughter? How is the tragedy connected to the arcane writings Mira stumbles across? And why do parts of the island feel strangely familiar to her?
As more of the sprawling manor’s secrets are revealed through Allison’s damaged psyche, Mira’s sense of time and self begin to erode. Before long she will come face-to-face with the unspeakable truth at the heart of Wyndclyffe, and not everyone will make it off the island alive.
Perfect for fans of Karen M. McManus’s The Cousins and Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Edgar Award–winning and Wall Street Journal–bestselling author Joe Hart’s Wyndclyffe is a taut, multilayered mystery that pulls you in and won’t let go.
“Hart’s exceptional gothic novel will thrill mystery and thriller readers alike. Fans of Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle and Riley Sager’s The Only One Left will enjoy this one.” —Library Journal

About the book
A wronged woman must do the impossible—prove herself innocent of her ex-husband’s murder—in a shocking novel of suspense by Washington Post bestselling author Minka Kent.
She has every reason to hate her ex. It doesn’t mean she wants him dead.
Every day on her way home from work, Dove Damiani drives past her ex-house, where her ex-husband lives with her ex-dog and her ex–yoga instructor, next to her ex-neighbors and the ex-life she once affectionately described as “frighteningly perfect.”
To outsiders, Dove is bitter and resentful. The divorce left her alone, with nothing but a set of car keys and 50 percent of a paltry savings account. So when the lifeless body of her former husband is discovered in the birch grove outside Dove’s apartment on what would have been their fifth wedding anniversary, investigators waste no time making Dove a person of interest.
She swears she didn’t do it. She’s never so much as killed a spider in her thirty-four years. But as evidence mounts against her, Dove finds herself questioning her memory, her sanity, and even…her innocence.

A shocking act of sabotage draws a retired spy into a deadly conspiracy in an explosive thriller by an Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author.
After three decades in counterintelligence, Brad Trasker is retired, disillusioned, and dealing with a tragic loss. Spy games are behind him until he attends the launch of a next-generation aircraft.
