Read-Alikes

Miracle Creek by Angie Kim (Farrar; LJ starred review)

Appeared on the April 2019 LibraryReads list

“When a medical treatment facility explodes, killing two people, the ensuing murder trial rocks the town, while witnesses go to extremes to conceal their darkest secrets. Part family drama, part whodunit, Miracle Creek is a gripping debut. For fans of Celeste Ng and Liane Moriarty.”—Portia Kapraun, Delphi Public Library, Delphi, IN

Watch Me Disappear by Janelle Brown (Spiegel & Grau)

Appeared on the July 2017 LibraryReads list

“Billie is a beloved and loving wife and mother to Jonathan and Olive - or so they believe. Her disappearance while hiking dredges up secrets about Billie’s radical past, doubts about how well either of them knew the woman around whom their lives revolved, and questions about whether Billie is even dead...or simply vanished. Hand this one to fans of domestic thrillers like The Woman in Cabin 10 or The Couple Next Door. They won’t be disappointed.” —Donna Maturri, Pickerington Public Library, Pickerington, OH
