Nina Laurin

A debut psychological thriller that reads like a dangerous cocktail with equal parts Gillian Flynn, Chelsea Cain, and Paula Hawkins.

Girl Last Seen

BLACK MIRROR meets Darcy Coates in this exploration of the dangerous, dark side of beauty in the digital age, with a gothic, haunted-house setting. When Izzy is dragged from Brooklyn to a tiny town for her parents' new job, she's not thrilled. The silver lining is the gorgeous old mansion she's moved into: the former home of an artist's muse who died tragically in a fire. But the house has its quirks: whole floors are closed off, paintings are covered up, and cell reception is nonexistent. Izzy throws herself into starting an Instagram fashion account using the gowns and jewelry she finds hidden away in the house. She looks perfect in the photos--almost unnaturally perfect--and they quickly go viral. Soon she's got a new best friend, a potential boyfriend, and is surrounded by a group of girls who want the photoshoots and fame for themselves. But there's a darkness in the house, and a darkness growing in Izzy, too. When girls start dying, it's clear that something--or someone--in the house is growing in power, with deadly intentions.

The Last Beautiful Girl

Local police have announced that they're closing the investigation of the suspected drowning of 37-year-old painter Colleen Westcott. She disappeared on April 11, 2010, and her car was found parked near the waterfront in Cleveland two days later, but her body has never been found. The chief of police has stated that no concrete evidence of foul play has been discovered in the probe. I close the online search window, annoyed. These articles never have enough detail. They think my husband's first wife disappeared or they think she is dead. There's a big difference. My phone rings, jarring me away from my thoughts, and when I pick it up, it's an unknown number. The only answer to my slightly breathless hello is empty static. When the voice does finally come, it's female, low, muffled somehow. "Where is it, Claire? What did you do with it? Tell me where it is." A woman. A real flesh-and-blood woman on the other end of the phone. She's not just in my head. A wave of panic spreads under my skin like ice water. It's Colleen.

The Starter Wife

A high-stakes, pulse-pounding thriller from the bestselling author of Girl Last Seen.

A Woman Alone

A psychological suspense novel that is "a mind-bending ride. Just when you think you've discovered the truth, a new secret is revealed" (Wendy Walker, author of All Is Not Forgotten). "...currently wanted by the police. If you know anything about the suspect's whereabouts, please call..." I look up at the TV screen, and my twin brother's face is splashed across it, life-size. It's a shock that makes my breath catch. This is my brother as an adult, my brother who I last saw fifteen years ago after the fire that killed our parents, covered in soot, clutching a lighter in his hand, his knuckles stark white against the dirt and ash. Everyone always said he'd grow up to be a heartbreaker. But his face has gone gaunt instead. The stubble on his cheeks and chin is patchy, and his eyes look dull and dark. My first thought is that it's not him. Not my beautiful brother, the golden boy who everyone loved. Yet, deep down, I've always known this would eventually happen. What did you do this time, Eli? What the hell did you do?

Zwei ungleiche Zwillinge, ein kindlicher Mörder: atemberaubende Spannung aus Kanada. Nach ihrem Erfolg "ESCAPE - Wenn die Angst dich einholt" legt Nina Laurin einen noch raffinierteren Psycho-Thriller vor. “... wird polizeilich gesucht. Falls Sie etwas über den Aufenthalt des Verdächtigen wissen, rufen Sie bitte folgende Nummer ...” Ich wende meinen Blick abrupt zum Fernseher und sehe das Gesicht meines Zwillingsbruders, in Lebensgröße. Es ist ein Schock, der mir den Atem raubt. Hier ist mein Bruder, den ich zum letzten Mal vor 15 Jahren sah - nach dem Brand, der unsere Eltern tötete. Rußbedeckt, die Hand um ein Feuerzeug gekrampft, die Knöchel hoben sich weiß ab von Staub und Asche. Alle haben gesagt, er würde mal ein Herzensbrecher. Doch sein Gesicht ist jetzt eingefallen, Bartstoppeln bedecken Kinn und Wangen, seine Augen sehen stumpf aus. Mein erster Gedanke: Er ist es nicht. Nicht mein schöner Bruder, der Golden Boy, den jeder liebte. Aber tief in meinem Inneren wusste ich immer, dass dies geschehen würde. Was hast du diesmal getan, Eli? Was zum Teufel hast du getan? "Niemand ist besser darin, den Leser zu narren, als Nina Laurin. Kein Spannungs-Fan, kein Liebhaber von Psycho-Thrillern sollte sich dies entgehen lassen!" New York Journal of Books
