Lucy Clark, Surf House

“Morocco, sun, surf. The perfect place to recover and heal. Until you realize the woman who stayed in The Surf House before you has disappeared. Escapist, thrilling, unforgettable.”
–Gillian McAllister
Peter Swanson, Kill Your Darlings
(William Morrow)
“Swanson is in terrific form here: The story flows backward in time, capturing a long-term marriage—one bound by an early secret—from killing to courtship, while putting Swanson’s trademark low-key but palpable humor to particularly impressive effect.”
