One dark evening on New York City’s Upper West Side, two strangers meet by chance. Over drinks, Amanda and Wendy realize they have much in common, including an intense desire for revenge against the men who destroyed their families. As they talk into the night, they come up with the perfect plan: if you kill for me, I’ll kill for you. In another part of the city, Ruth is home alone when the beautiful brownstone she shares with her husband, Scott, is invaded. She’s attacked by a man with piercing blue eyes, who disappears into the night. Will she ever be able to feel safe again while the blue-eyed stranger is out there? “Explosive, game-changing” ( Publishers Weekly , starred review), and unpredictable, Kill for Me, Kill for You will keep you guessing until the final page.

Night Music
Also about a woman rebuilding after loss with a hostile neighbor scheming against her, but gentle and romantic instead of murderous.
Tourist Season
Also about killers striking a pact and taking bloody revenge, but far lighter in tone, romance-driven and very explicit rather than grim.
The Heartbreak Sheriff
Keeps the murder investigation and wrongly-accused suspect puzzle, but adds a small-town romance and a guaranteed happy ending.
Her Private Avenger
Another whodunit driven by a woman trusting her instincts over evidence, though here the danger comes wrapped in a steamy love story.
My Dreadful Darling
Shares the revenge obsession and serial-killer bloodline darkness, but it's an explicit stalker romance rather than a plot-twist thriller.
Hollow
Another revenge-driven story with a killer's shadow and graphic violence, but this one is a spicy dark romance rather than a cold psychological thriller.
