Just Read: YOU DESERVE TO KNOW by Aggie Blum Thompson
I included YOU DESERVE TO KNOW, a brand-new suburban thriller from Aggie Blum Thompson on this month’s Chill Quill column, but this was a fun read that deserves a little extra attention this Spring. Just out on March 11, Thompson’s latest takes the old wisdom “you never know what goes on behind closed doors,” digs in, and tears it wide open. From cheating spouses to questionable alcoholism to the haunts of unmet dreams of self-fulfillment, no secret locked behind the closed doors of American suburbia is safe in this grounded suspense novel.
Neighbors Gwen, Aimee, and Lisa share more than playdates and coffee mornings on their tranquil street in East Bethesda. They confide their deepest secrets, navigate the challenges of motherhood together, and provide a support system that seems unbreakable.
But when Gwen’s husband is found murdered after one of their weekly Friday night dinners, the peaceful quiet of their cul-de-sac shatters. The seemingly idyllic world of the three close-knit mom friends becomes a web of deception, betrayal, and revenge.
As the police investigate, the veneer of friendship begins to crack, revealing hidden tensions, clandestine affairs, and long-buried jealousies among the three women. With suspicions mounting and the neighborhood gripped by fear, Gwen, Aimee, and Lisa must confront the chilling truth about their husbands, and the sinister undercurrents in their own friendship.
In a cul-de-sac where no one is blameless and everyone has something to hide, Thompson weaves a tangled web of deceit, betrayal, and secrets in this twisty suburban thriller that doesn’t stop spinning until the very last page.
YOU DESERVE TO KNOW is available from Aggie Blum Thompson and Forge Books now!
