"Carol Goodman's The Bones of the Story deftly and intriguingly combines a decades-old campus mystery, a powerful winter storm, and a batch of suspects and potential victims to create one of the best and smartest locked-room mysteries I've read in a long time. A page-turner with both heart and brains. Don't miss it!" -- David Bell, New York Times bestselling author of Try Not to Breathe "Superior. Goodman is superb at doling out reveals gradually, and toggling between past and present to build ample tension. Admirers of Riley Sager's The Last Time I Lied will be enthralled." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Bones of the Story "The Disinvited Guest is a tense, fever dream of a thriller in an extraordinary, atmospheric setting, gripping from first page to last. In a world under attack from a new virus, seven friends take refuge on a private, fog-drenched island where memories are both long and unreliable, illness lurks, the terrain is treacherous and even the island's history has claws. Carol Goodman is a brilliant writer, and she shines here.

Loved it." -- Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author "Goodman, a master genre-blender, has integrated elements of Mary Roberts Rinehart's 'had-I-but-known' gambit and Agatha Christie's 'alone-on-an-island' theme to come up with a real winner." -- Booklist (starred review) on The Disinvited Guest "[A] superior thriller.The plot takes many terrifying twists and turns en route to the surprising climax. Those with a taste for the gothic will be richly rewarded." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Stranger Behind You.
