Psychological Thrillers

LynDee Walker and Christina Kovac will discuss the genre of Psychological Thrillers as well as their own works on Saturday, February 21st at 11 AM.

LynDee Walker writes about strong women who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Her books have appeared on finalist lists for the Agatha and Thriller awards—and once, on a major national bestsellers list smack in between two of her writing heroes. 
An award winning journalist, LynDee has covered everything from ribbon cuttings and high school football to capital murder trials and high level police corruption. 
She’s the author of 21 novels in three series, as well as the psychological thrillers The Pastor’s Wife and The Housewife Next Door, so she’s usually writing when she’s not juggling laundry and children’s sports schedules.

The Housewife Next Door is a completely addictive and unputdownable read that will have you turning pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose and Gone Girl.
I thought she was perfect. Until her daughter told me about the little girl in the garden…
I was jealous of my perfect new neighbor SarahBeth. Six tow-headed children, blackberry pies bubbling in the oven, married to and still holding hands with her high-school sweetheart Burt. She was the perfect housewife, the best mom.
Until I found out the truth.
When tragedy strikes and SarahBeth’s dying daughter tells me about the little girl buried in their garden my heart freezes. Now I understand why SarahBeth has been so unfriendly to me. Why her kids have been kept out of school. Why nobody has seen the family in town for two years.
I must learn the truth, to keep her children safe. But I’ve met people like SarahBeth in my own dark past. I’ve told lies, kept secrets, buried bodies. And I know SarahBeth will do whatever it takes to keep her secret hidden…
