In this dark and propulsive domestic thriller, a woman fears that her husband's explosive outbursts could turn deadly, fueled by a man she meets online who may not be trustworthy.
The perfect wife. The perfect motive. The perfect murder?
Monica Decker has the kind of life people envy: a successful career as a radiologist, two beautiful children, a handsome husband, and a lovely home in Silicon Valley. But behind closed doors, her marriage is anything but perfect.
Andrew has always had a temper. Lately it’s getting worse. The slamming doors, the sudden outbursts, the way something dark flickers behind his eyes. Monica tells herself she’s overreacting. That it is just stress. That she and the kids are safe.
Until she meets Ben.
Feeling increasingly isolated in her marriage, Monica joins a support group for spouses of workaholics, where she meets a sympathetic stranger who seems to be everything Andrew isn’t. Ben sees what Monica won’t admit to herself…her husband may be dangerous.
Ben’s influence deepens, and Monica's thoughts drift to darker places, imagining what life might look like without Andrew in it—and how far she might be willing to go to make that happen. As Monica is pulled deeper into a web of fear, manipulation, and obsession, the line between protector and predator begins to blur.
But who is Ben, and what does he really want? And who is the more dangerous one?
Is it Andrew? Is it Ben?
Or is it both of them?
What are Bonnie Traymore's thrillers about, and where are they set?
Bonnie Traymore writes twisty, award-winning, Amazon bestselling domestic and psychological thrillers that expose the dark truths beneath seemingly perfect lives. Her novels explore jealousy, infidelity, murder, and the impact of psychological disorders.
Her novels are set in places she's lived: Silicon Valley, New York, Honolulu, for example. As a former historian, she infuses her novels with small details that make her books intriguing and realistic, while still maintaining that popcorn thriller, bingable vibe. Bonnie is a member of International Thriller Writers and Mystery Writers of America.
What stand-alone book should readers start with, and how are her series books best read?
Bonnie’s books are not overly graphic for thrillers, but they do deal with difficult topics. If you like a thriller on the lighter side, try The Rich Guy’s Wife or A Little Getaway. If you like a darker read, try The Unforgetting or The Good Sister. If you enjoy dark humor, try The Valet.
Bonnie’s Hudson Valley Series and her Silicon Valley Series are best read in order, but they can be read independently. For the Hudson Valley Series: Killer Motives, Little Loose Ends, Killer Secrets (forthcoming). For the Silicon Valley Series: The Stepfamily, The Guest House.
Who has influenced Bonnie's writings, and who are some comparable authors for Bonnie?
Bonnie grew up watching Hitchcock films and reading Stephen King novels. She has her own style and strives to create books that keep you up at night, but don’t give you nightmares. Her books are suspenseful rather than overly graphic, but they are not geared for YA audiences in terms of language, sexuality, and topics/themes.
That said, she is most often compared to contemporary authors Shari Lapena, Freida McFadden, and Gillian Flynn. In terms of vibe and intensity, those are good comps. She credits Patricia Highsmith, the pioneer of the psychological thriller, as a major influence.
