Domestic Suspense: When Trouble Begins at Home

| The Marriage Lie by Kimberly BellePsychological Suspense. Will and Iris Griffith have a good life together, which is why Iris is shocked to hear that Will has died in a plane crash en route to Seattle when he's supposed to be in Florida for work. What other secrets had he been keeping from her? Quite a lot, as it turns out. As Iris learns more about the man she married, she moves from grief and disbelief to suspicion and anger. If you like stories in which happy marriages turn out to have been built on a bedrock of lies (Deb Caletti's He's Gone, Lisa Unger's Die For You, Heather Gudenkauf's Missing Pieces, and a whole host of others), don't miss this tense, fast-paced take on a popular theme. |

| Watch Me Disappear by Janelle BrownPsychological Suspense. Billie Flanagan has always had an independent streak, leaving her husband and daughter regularly for solo hikes and trips away. But it's been a year since she last disappeared, and most people presume she's dead. However, her teenage daughter, Olive, fervently believes that Billie's still alive, while her husband Jonathan is beginning to think he never knew his wife at all. More focused on family drama than on any actual danger, this is a good choice for readers looking for an emotional take on a damaged marriage. |

| Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman KochPsychological Suspense. Opening in the aftermath of a wealthy patient's death, this unnerving novel is narrated by a Dutch doctor who caters to celebrities. Looking back on his relationship with the patient, the doctor untangles the events of the previous summer, when their two families had summered together with disastrous consequences. Ethical lapses, the misreading or ignoring of certain situations, and the constant pulse of contempt and desire makes for a compulsive read, with characters that just beg to be disliked. |

| Pretty Baby by Mary KubicaPsychological Suspense. Chicago literacy tutor Heidi Wood wants to help the homeless teen mom she's seen on her commute, so she invites Willow and her tiny daughter back to the condo she shares with her family (to her husband's horror). Their arrival leads to a spectacular deterioration of the relationships within the home, all told from the rotating perspectives of Heidi and her husband, as well as flashbacks from Willow herself. This narrative technique ramps up the suspense -- it's clear that something devastating happens, but the details...well, you'll have to read the book to find out. (You can follow it up with Every Last Lie, author Mary Kubica's most recent page-turner). |
