Praise for The Wives:
“Fans of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl will revel in The Wives…Fisher’s story, like the score of a film, builds to an emotional and
psychological crescendo that will keep readers on their toes until its final page.” —USA TODAY
“An intriguing plot takes some sharp twists in the search for the elusive truth in this fast-reading domestic thriller.” —Booklist
“Fisher is a slick writer who keeps a tight rein on her lightning-fast plot, and the lengths that her feisty narrator goes to in order to
reclaim her life make for salaciously satisfying reading…a writer to watch.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Fisher smoothly inserts moments of self-doubt, longing, paranoia, and triumph into her unsettling narrative as she draws the reader
into Thursday’s conflicted and increasingly complicated life. Suspense fans will be rewarded.” —Publishers Weekly
“You’ll have whiplash until the very end. The Wives will leave the most sure-footed reader uneasy until the last word is read.”
—Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestselling author of Verity
“I couldn’t put it down once I opened the page. Nail-biting, heart-clenchingly good from the start, with characters that you both root
and cringe for. I loved every word. Six stars.” —Alessandra Torre, New York Times bestselling author of The Ghostwriter

Praise for Husband Material:
“Charming.” —Publishers Weekly
“Sensitive, thoughtful, and touching.” —Library Journal
“Tackling thorny questions of widowhood and dating after trauma, Belden’s (Hot Mess, 2018) second novel is witty, full of heart, and
blindingly au courant. Packed with pop-culture references, it will appeal to fans of Sophie Kinsella, Rosie Walsh, and Plum Sykes.
Belden writes twists and turns to keep readers hooked, and wraps up Charlotte’s journey of self-discovery with a pretty bow.”
—Booklist
“In this touching, witty, and timely book, Emily Belden deftly explores the complexities of human relationships in our increasingly
tech-obsessed world. By turns heartbreaking and laugh-out-loud funny, Husband Material beautifully demonstrates that you can’t
reduce love to a bunch of 1s and 0s.” —Kristin Rockaway, author of How To Hack a Heartbreak

Praise for A Beginning At The End: STARRED
“This postapocalyptic slice-of-life novel from Chen delivers big emotions… By foregrounding family, Chen manages reviews!
to imbue his apocalypse with heart, hope, and humanity. Sci-fi fans will delight in this lovingly rendered tale.”
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
“A Beginning at the End is the best kind of dystopian novel: one rooted deeply in the hearts of his [Chen’s] characters and emphasizing
hope and connection over fear. Chen has a true gift for making the biggest of worlds center around the most complex workings of
hearts, and his newest is compelling, realistic, and impossible to put down.” —Booklist, STARRED review
“Sometimes it is not the violent battles of post-apocalyptic stories that pull readers in; it is the emotional connection of humanity
finding their way. Chen’s (Here and Now and Then) prose lights a brilliant, fragile path through the darkness.”
—Library Journal, STARRED review
“…Imaginative premise, likable characters, and an uplifting ending. A refreshingly non-dystopian end-of-the-world story…”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Not just an apocalyptic thriller, but also a timely reminder of what is most important in life—family, love, and hope.”
—Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M
“If you’re tired of grim, grueling apocalypses with high body counts and bleak horizons, A Beginning at the End offers an intimate,
surprisingly gentle vision of post-disaster humanity, less concerned with how we might survive than with why—and for whom.”
—Alix E. Harrow, Hugo Award-winning author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January
“Human beings are the worst, but they’re also the best—and A Beginning at the End is a brilliant story about how the best parts of
ourselves won’t be stopped by a little something like the apocalypse.” —Sam J Miller, Nebula-Award-winning author of Blackfish City

Two hundred years later, Caroline spends her tenth wedding anniversary in London alone, reeling from the recent
discovery of her husband’s inidelity. While mudlarking on the River Thames, Caroline discovers a small glass vial and
suspects she’s found a link to the never-solved “apothecary murders” that haunted London during the 18th century.
Soon afterwards, Caroline’s husband arrives in London unexpectedly and within days, he falls critically ill. Law
enforcement inds Caroline’s research notes on Nella and her poisons, and Caroline is accused of trying to follow in an
ancient serial killer’s footsteps.
Although her investigation into Nella is still far from complete, Caroline realizes that unmasking the lost apothecary
is probably her best hope of saving herself. But Nella was a wise woman and a master of disguise, and as Caroline
untangles one inal mystery about the apothecary murders, she sees that some secrets are best left buried.
Like Fiona Davis’s The Address, The Lost Apothecary connects two women from different eras who have been
scarred, indelibly, by men—and who are determined to do something about it. With chapters that alternate
between Caroline’s hunt for answers in the present and Nella’s high-stakes poisoning scheme in the past, this
riveting debut is perfect for super-fans of Kate Morton and Susanna Kearsley.
