THE STEPFAMILY
A tech-startup VP suspects that someone is trying to kill her in Traymore's thriller.
Traymore, most recently the author of Little Loose Ends (2022), provides readers a sympathetic hero in Laura, who tends to bury her feelings; with the kids grown and out of the house, she'd dearly love to move from the house that Peter shared with his ex-wife. The chapters alternate between her first-person perspective and third-person narration of Peter's side of things. Dueling perspectives, à la Gillian Flynn's bestselling Gone Girl (2012), might have ratcheted up the suspense a bit more, but that would have required an immediate explanation of an anonymous email sent to Peter: "I know what you did. I won't tell anyone." However, Traymore deftly handles revelations and twists throughout. A deliberately paced mystery that always stays one step ahead of its readers.

HEAD CASE
In Traymore’s thriller, a teacher’s first semester at a new school is upended by a possible case of homicide.
The author skillfully develops the cast throughout, particularly Cassie, whose secret gives an already-great protagonist an exciting new dimension; Cassie’s potential romantic interest, Dan; and the empathetic fellow teacher and father figure, Ed Roberts. Shrewd characterizations elevate this taut, white-knuckle murder mystery. - Kirkus Reviews

KILLER MOTIVES
A homicide investigation throws a married couple’s relationship into question in Traymore’s debut mystery.
In Sleepy Hollow, New York, Victoria and Nick Mancusio are a wealthy couple who’ve been married for 10 years, recently not so happily. The quiet, affluent neighborhood is rocked when newcomer Angie Hansen is found dead in her new home. It’s quickly revealed that Nick was the realtor who sold her the house and that the two were engaged in an affair. Det. Jack Stark and his partner, Det. Lexi Sanchez, begin to gather potential suspects; was the murderer a jilted wife, a possessive lover, a stalker, or someone seeking revenge? Gossip, distrust, and paranoia spread through the town, and Victoria and Nick choose to take matters into their own hands to clear their names, culminating in an emotional finale.
