Who to Believe: A Twisty Domestic Thriller

Expected Publication Date: January 23, 2024

Genre: Thriller/ Domestic Thriller/ Serial Killers

Publisher: Kensington

In a twisty, claustrophobic suburban suspense novel for fans of Ruth Ware and Liane Moriarty, the aftermath of a murder in a quiet coastal New England town reveals a web of dark secrets among friends

. . .

Monreith, Massachusetts, was once a small community of whalers and farmers. These days it’s a well- to-do town filled with commuters drawn to its rugged coastline and country roads. A peaceful, predictable place—until popular restaurateur Laurel Thibodeau is found brutally murdered in her own home. Suspicion naturally falls on Laurel’s husband, Simon, who had gambling debts that only her life insurance policy could fix. But there are other rumors too . .

Among the group of six friends gathered for Alice Stone’s fortieth birthday, theories abound concerning Laurel’s death. Max Barbosa, police chief, has heard plenty of them, as has his longtime friend, Unitarian minister Georgia Fitzhugh. Local psychiatrist Farley Drake is privy to even more, gleaning snippets of gossip and information from his patients while closely guarding his own past.

But maybe everyone in Monreith has something to hide. Because before this late-summer evening has come to a close, one of these six will be dead. And as jealousy, revenge, adultery, and greed converge, the question becomes not who among these friends might be capable of such a thing, but—who isn’t?

This is an adult suspense thriller by Edwin Hill, very LGBTQ+ inclusive.

“Confounding twists and seismic reveals stud Edgar nominee Hill’s meticulously crafted, diabolically

plotted mystery. Structured to maximize suspense, the tale unfolds in seven parts, each with its own

nuanced first-person-present narrator and unique voice. Every new section delivers a kaleidoscopic

turn, reframing all that came before and keeping readers perennially off-kilter. A devilishly clever

delight.” —Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
