Two great books in one great collection! Things aren’t always what they seem in these twisted tales of danger and deception.
Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda
The perfect marriage is the perfect illusion in this gripping, tautly suspenseful tale from USA TODAY bestselling author Kaira Rouda.
Paul Strom has the perfect life: a glittering career as an advertising executive, a beautiful wife, two healthy boys, and a big house in a wealthy suburb. And he’s the perfect husband: breadwinner, protector, provider. That’s why he’s planned a romantic weekend for his wife, Mia, at their lake house. He’s promised her that today will be the best day ever.
But as Paul and Mia drive off toward the countryside, a spike of tension begins to wedge itself between them. How much do they trust each other? And how perfect is their marriage, or any marriage, really?
The Black Painting by Neil Olson
“A dark and dazzling kaleidoscope of a story.” —Paula McLain
The four Morse cousins have been estranged for years when their grandfather summons them to his mansion at Owl’s Point. None of them have visited the estate since they were children, when a priceless Goya painting was stolen and the family parted ways in a cloud of accusations and suspicion.
But when Teresa arrives, she finds the old man dead, his gaze fixed on the wall where the painting once hung. As her family gathers to mourn, Teresa seeks an explanation for his mysterious death and the painting’s long-ago disappearance. But to do so she must uncover some ugly family secrets — and face those who would keep them hidden.
A masterful, deftly plotted novel, The Black Painting explores the profound power that art and the past hold over our lives.
Genre: Mystery
