What the Wife Knew – AUS

Darby Kane, author of the #1 international bestseller Pretty Little Wife, returns with another twisty domestic thriller about a wife wondering who tried to kill her husband twice before finally succeeding… because that was supposed to be her job.

Dr. Richmond Dougherty is a renowned pediatric surgeon, an infamous tragedy survivor, and a national hero. He’s also very dead—thanks to a fall down the stairs. His neighbors angrily point a finger at the newest Ms. Dougherty, Addison. The sudden marriage to the mysterious young woman only lasted ninety-seven days, and he’d had two suspicious “accidents” during that time. Now Addison is a very rich widow.

As law enforcement starts to circle in on Addison and people in town become increasingly hostile, sides are chosen with Kathryn, Richmond’s high school sweetheart, wife number one, and the mother of his children, leading the fray. Despite rising tensions, Addison is even more driven to forge ahead on the path she charted years ago…

Determined at all costs to unravel Richmond’s legacy, she soon becomes a target—with a shocking note left on her bedroom wall: You will pay. But it will take a lot more than faceless threats to stop Addison. Her plan to marry Richmond then ruin him may have been derailed by his unexpected death, but she’s not done with him yet.

The Engagement Party – CAN

And Then There Were None meets I Know What You Did Last Summer in #1 international bestseller Darby Kane’s latest gripping and twisty thriller set on a private island in Maine where secrets piled upon secrets and lies upon lies are all revealed in one fateful weekend.

Emily Hunt went missing from her affluent liberal arts school on graduation weekend. Her body was found floating in a river, and a quiet loner who most people on campus really didn’t know committed suicide. A tenuous link—one text—bound the two dead students together and was enough for law enforcement to close the case. But they got it wrong and now someone is determined to set it right.

Twelve years later, college friends gather to celebrate an engagement over a long overdue getaway on a swanky private island in Maine—with only one way in and one way out. Sierra Prescott, invited as a guest and unconnected to past events, is the only person who soon senses not all is what it seems.

The tension in the air is ignited when they find a dead man in the trunk of a car with a note: time to tell the truth. And things only get worse. As a torrential storm strands them together, the group’s buried stories begin to surface and secrets are bartered. To survive this deadly party, they’ll need to stop a killer before they become prey.

Pretty Little Wife – Polish

Pewnego dnia Aaron, idealny mąż i uwielbiany nauczyciel, znika bez śladu. Jak się wkrótce okazuje, nie jest to pierwszy taki przypadek – na przestrzeni ostatnich lat w okolicy doszło do serii nigdy niewyjaśnionych zaginięć studentek.

Mieszkańcy miasteczka zamartwiają się tym, co mogło się stać z ukochanym przez wszystkich Aaronem.

Jedynie Lila, jego żona, jest dziwnie spokojna.

Pretty Little Wife – IT

La scomparsa dello stimato maestro di scuola Aaron Ridgefield, l’ultima di una lunga serie, getta nel panico la cittadina di Ithaca.
Tutti sono preoccupati, ma ignorano che Ridgefield non è la vittima, è il carnefice. Sua moglie Lila, a differenza degli altri, non si domanda cosa possa essergli successo: Aaron è morto, è stata proprio lei a ucciderlo. O almeno così credeva…

Lila aveva lasciato il cadavere all’interno del suv, circondato dalle foto e dai video che Aaron stesso aveva realizzato per documentare le sue “imprese” da predatore sessuale. Ma sia l’uomo che l’auto sono scomparsi.

Suo marito deve essere ancora vivo, e di sicuro è in cerca di vendetta. Come se non bastasse, Lila deve difendersi anche dai sospetti della polizia: la detective incaricata di indagare sulle ragazze scomparse in città pare averle messo gli occhi addosso.
Mentre si guarda le spalle e con la polizia alle costole, l’ansia di Lina comincia a crescere, sente i passi di Aaron, lenti, sempre più vicini…

The Last Invitation – AU

Darby Kane, the author of the critically acclaimed and #1 International Bestseller Pretty Little Wifehas crafted another gripping and twisty suspense about an invitation to an exclusive club that comes with deadly consequences.

They meet the second Tuesday of every month and vote…and then someone dies.

Over the last few years, prominent people—a retired diplomat, beloved basketball coach, the CEO of an empire—have died in a series of fluke accidents and shocking suicides. There’s no apparent connection, no signs of foul play. Behind it all is a powerful group of women, the Sophie Foundation, who meet over wine and cheese to review files of men who behave very, very badly, and then mete out justice.

Jessa Hall jumped at the mysterious, exclusive invitation to this secret club. The invite comes when she’s at her lowest, aching for a way to take back control. After years of fighting and scratching to get ahead, she’s ready for a chance to make the “bad guys” lose. Jessa soon realizes, though, just how far she’s willing to go and how dangerous this game has become.

Once in the group, it’s impossible to get out. She has nowhere to turn except former friend Gabby Fielding who is investigating the mysterious death of her ex-husband. Aligned in their goal to take down the Foundation, Gabby and Jessa need each other but working together doesn’t mean they trust each other…or that either will survive to tell the truth.
