This week, I’m giving away two psychological thrillers. Good luck to all the entrants!

I’m going to use a little of the press release for the summary of Hank Phillippi Ryan’s The Murder List because it’s a tough book to summarize without giving away too much. It’s a psychological standalone “that delves deep inside the twists, turns, and complicated manipulation in the search for justice – as well as the twists, turns and complicated manipulations of marriage. Law student Rachel North will tell you, without hesitation, what she knows to be true: She’s smart, she’s a hard worker, she always does the right thing. She’s successfully married to a faithful and passionate husband, a lion of Boston’s defense bar. And her internship with a powerful DA’s office guarantees her ticket to a successful future. Problem is – she’s wrong.”

Or, you could enter to win Beautiful Bad by Annie Ward, “The perfect marriage leads to the perfect crime.” Maddie and Ian’s romance began with a chance encounter at a party overseas; he was serving in the British army, and she was a travel writer visiting her best friend, Jo. Now, almost two decades later, married with a beautiful son, Charlie, the are living the perfect suburban life in Kansas. But, a camping accident leaves Maddie badly scarred, and she begins attending writing therapy where she reveals her fears. Everything culminates in “The Day of the Killing” when a frantic 911 call summons the police to the scene of a shocking crime. What in this beautiful home has gone so terribly bad?”
