I’m Not Done with You Yet

Departing from the cozy mysteries for which she is best known, Sutanto (Vera Wang’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers) offers twisty psychological suspense focused on a friendship that goes dangerously off the rails. Jane is shocked to learn that her former classmate Thalia has published a best seller that seems based on their friendship. The two met while at Oxford University’s MFA program. Jane never fit in; she always had a terrible self-image and doesn’t really like people, but she was entirely smitten with Thalia. For her part, Thalia swore they were the best of friends, but they were separated after a mysterious incident at the school, and they haven’t spoken since. Using Thalia’s book launch as an excuse to reconnect, Jane travels to New York, determined never to lose Thalia again. Narrators Yu-Li Alice Shen, Saskia Maarleveld, Leiana Bertrand, and Eunice Wong provide nuanced, magnetic performances, capturing Jane’s and Thalia’s unsettling younger and older selves. Their depiction of the increasingly horrible fallout from the two women’s reunion is convincing and utterly chilling.
