Nothing is ransacked or looted. The only sound is the plink of the dripping faucet against the dirty dishes in the sink. I move into the living room, listen again, then make my way toward the bedroom.“Hello?” I call out.There’s no answer.I stop just shy of our open bedroom door and peek inside. The bed’s unmade and the comforter’s halfway on the floor, but everything else is as I remember. I go to the dresser. The shoebox and money are still there along with the envelope.It isn’t like me to be this paranoid, but this damn money has me all turned around in the head. I should just burn it and be done with it, but that would be stupid, and Rachel would never forgive me. In the back of her mind, I know she still thinks there’s a chance we might keep it.I sit on the bed, already hating myself for what I’m about to do. It takes less than a minute to count the money, but all ten thousand is there—just as I knew it would be. I tell myself I only checked to remove all doubt that someone had been inside our house. That was all. It had nothing to do with the hundred-dollar bill I found inside Rachel’s purse.Nothing at all..

From the bestselling author of The Social Affair and Room 553 comes a razor-sharp psychological thriller that turns the idea of work-life balance into something deadly.Several times a week, Charlotte Jones leaves suburbia behind and boards a chartered flight to parts unknown, where she wraps her hands around the necks of marks for just as long as she has to.Then she goes back to domestic life with a paycheck, defense wounds, and the sense that she can handle anything.Which is good, because being a wife, mother, and sociopath, with an insatiable taste for murder, gives the term work-life balance new meaning. When one life unexpectedly bleeds into the other, leading to a secret admirer and borderline insta-fame, Charlotte is forced to ask herself if she really can have it all.Slick and unsettling, Kill, Sleep, Repeat is a cunning tale of deception and desire that begs the question: Do we ever really know people the way we think we do?What readers are saying about Kill, Sleep, Repeat: ? ? ? ? ? "A sharp, wickedly funny thriller that turns the idea of work-life balance into something truly sinister. Charlotte is a PTA mom with a side hustle in murder, and watching her juggle contract killing with carpool duty is as darkly hilarious as it is unsettling. The pacing is fast, the satire is razor-sharp, and the twists are relentless. If you love femme fatale thrillers with biting humor and a body count, this book is for you." - Goodreads review? ? ? ? ? "Fast, twisted, and completely unhinged in the best way possible. Charlotte is a sociopathic anti-heroine you'll hate to love and love to hate, and her double life makes for an addictive, high-stakes ride. The mix of satire and suspense is brilliant, poking fun at suburban perfection while delivering a thriller that doesn't hold back. A must-read thriller for fans of dark humor, deception, and mayhem." - Goodreads review? ? ? ? ? "Imagine if a PTA mom had a secret identity as a contract killer—and somehow made it all look effortless. This book is a darkly comedic psychological thriller with a protagonist who is as terrifying as she is entertaining. The satire is biting, the action never slows down, and the twists are completely unhinged. I couldn't stop reading, and I definitely couldn't stop laughing at the sheer absurdity of it all." - Goodreads review? ? ? ? ? "A fast-paced, high-stakes thriller that's as disturbing as it is hilarious. The way this book skewers suburban life, gender roles, and the illusion of normalcy is pure genius. Charlotte's detached yet oddly charming perspective makes every scene feel like watching a train wreck you can't look away from. If you love twisty, unpredictable thrillers with a side of pitch-black comedy, you need to read this book." - Goodreads review? ? ? ? ? "This book is what happens when PTA meetings and murder-for-hire collide, and I am here for every insane second of it. Charlotte is a ruthless, calculated killer wrapped in the perfect suburban package, and watching her navigate the chaos of motherhood and murder is equal parts disturbing and wildly entertaining. A binge-worthy psychological thriller with satire so sharp it cuts—this one is impossible to put down." - Goodreads review

An addictive small-town thriller in the vein of Gillian Flynn, Carolyn Arnold, and Karin Slaughter, Shadow’s Keep is a mind-bending exploration of obsession, desperation, and how far we’ll go to protect those we love."Dark, intense, and addictively twisted.” ~Bestselling Author Kristen MaeWHAT YOU CAN'T SEE CAN KILL.Deputy Sheriff William Shannahan doesn’t feel like a detective, at least not like the ones he admires on TV. Not that he needs to be; the small town of Graybel, Mississippi, is a peaceful place, with acres of farmland, neighbors who always take care of their own, and noise from the outside world muted by a hundred miles of forest.That silence is about to be broken.When a child is found dead in the woods, the medical examiner deems it a dog attack. But the paw prints belong to something far larger than any creature in the Mississippi forests, and what animal would remove the victim’s eyes? Though no one believes him, William can’t shake the feeling that a human killer lurks in the shadowed woods. And his girlfriend, Cassie, has a son the same age as the victim.Cassie Parker was raised amid horrors she’s long pushed from her mind, but her scars won’t let her forget. Nor do the hallucinations, dreams so vivid she can feel and smell and taste them. And no one is more terrified than Cassie when another victim is found mauled to death—because this body has been drained of blood. She knows exactly what type of person would sacrifice a child, and why they’re after hers. But how can she explain it to William?This is William’s chance to act like a detective, to protect the woman and child he’s desperate to save. Pushing back against prejudice and presumption, he uncovers a trail of cruelty that spans decades, but each clue brings him closer to a truth more horrifying than killer beasts in the forest. For concealed beneath small-town politics is knowledge that will shatter everything he knows to be true about his town—and the people in it.“O’Flynn weaves elements of the procedural and the occult into a masterful psychological thriller replete with staggering, unpredictable twists. Readers should beware any notion that they can predict the ending of Shadow’s Keep. Believe me, reader, you cannot.” ~Bestselling Author Wendy Heard
