Virtual Tour for THE LIE SHE WEARS, Elle Marr’s chilling new psychological thriller: November 18 – December 19th!

#1 Amazon Charts bestselling author Elle Marr turns the tables on the classic male serial killer narrative in this taut psychological thriller, set in the art world, that is filled with shocking family secrets and twists at every turn.

“Elle Marr always brings the goods when it comes to family drama and trauma, and she cranks it up to eleven in THE LIE SHE WEARS. She weaves a diabolical tapestry of lies, mystery, and murder from the first letter Pearl receives from her recently deceased mother to the jaw-dropping conclusion. So, make sure your schedule is cleared, because once the twists start coming, you won’t be doing anything else.” —Tony Wirt, bestselling author of Pike Island

“THE LIE SHE WEARS, weaves a chilling tale of murder, obsession, resilience, and the importance of family ties. Elle Marr explores the emotional depths of her complex and compelling characters and what motivates them, good or bad. You’ll leave Marr’s next bestseller feeling both gutted and entirely satisfied.”—Yasmin Angoe, bestselling author of Her Name is Knight and Not What She Seems

“Elle Marr returns with another trademark psychological family thriller. Twisty and heartfelt, THE LIE SHE WEARS keeps readers guessing until the end.” —Tori Eldridge, bestselling author of Kaua‘i Storm

Over the course of the past five years, Elle Marr has skyrocketed to the top of the charts with her signature take on the psychological suspense genre. Marr has stunned critics and readers alike with her deft character development featuring Asian-American protagonists, exceptionally eerie details, and astonishing plot twists. She now returns with her most sensational novel yet, THE LIE SHE WEARS (Thomas & Mercer; November 18, 2025).

Fans of Ashley Flower’s The Missing Half, Lisa Jewell’s Don’t Let Him In, Alafair Burke’s The Note, and Frieda McFadden’s The Tenant will be enthralled by this white-knuckled thriller about a museum curator who inherits her mother’s deadly secrets.

Pearl Davis always had a strained relationship with her mother, Sally. Growing up, she rarely felt her mother’s love. So many things about her mother’s behavior never added up. But when Sally dies unexpectedly, she leaves Pearl a letter from the grave…confessing to murder.

Suddenly, Pearl has even more questions than she has answers. She suspects the letter is just a sign of her mother’s diminished state of mind―until she finds human remains in Sally’s garden. With the help of a friend, Pearl begins searching for the truth of her mother’s actions―and as she does, more cryptic notes emerge. But these letters aren’t just clues behind a confession. They’re a warning. Sally was terrified of something.

When more remains are discovered, it’s clear whatever secrets Sally died with are now Pearl’s to bear. And as darkness closes in, Pearl fears that her mother’s past could be the death of her.

This intricately woven tale is told alternately between the present and the past, with each chapter adding another layer of intrigue and terror. If you enjoy thrillers packed with nail-biting psychological suspense, breathtaking twists, and unforgettable characters, you won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough to discover the surprising conclusion of THE LIE SHE WEARS.

We hope you will join us in the festivities we have planned to celebrate the release of THE LIE SHE WEARS! Follow along with this stellar list of social media influencers as they share reviews, excerpts, Q&As, and lots of giveaways!

November Virtual Tour: THE FIX by TikTok phenomenon and New York Times bestselling novelist Mia Sheridan!

From New York Times bestselling author Mia Sheridan comes a chilling take on second chances, where a brutal break-in comes back to haunt the sole survivor with a new threat―and another victim.

In her heart-pounding, heart-rending, and heartwarming new novel, THE FIX (Montlake, November 1, 2025), Mia Sheridan proves why she is beloved by readers worldwide. THE FIX is a dark, intense thriller with haunting emotional depth and a richly rewarding love story. Fans of Ana Huang’s Twisted Love, A.R. Torre’s The Good Lie, Lisa Jewell’s Then She Was Gone, and Frieda McFadden’s Never Lie will be instantly hooked by THE FIX, Mia Sheridan’s most shocking and engrossing romantic suspense novel yet.

Eleven years ago, Cami Cortlandt’s mother and sister died cruelly in a violent home invasion. The trauma and notoriety still linger, but Cami has managed to build a life in her hometown despite everything she’s lost.

Then one day it all comes rushing back.

A distorted voice on the phone: Would you like a do-over? A disturbing video of a room with bars on the window, trapping a young boy inside who looks achingly, impossibly familiar. Four days to find him.

With the help of Rex Lowe, an old classmate whose past is inextricably tied to her own, Cami races to uncover everything she can about the boy―where he is, who he is, and why she’s the only one who can save him.

But as Cami and Rex unravel one clue after another, the past and present converge in an explosion of secrets they never saw coming…and a truth they never could have imagined.

August 2024 Virtual Book Tour for NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS by Yasmin Angoe

Yasmin Angoe — first-generation Ghanaian American, recipient of the 2020 Eleanor Taylor Bland Award for Emerging Writers of Color, and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author — returns with a riveting, Southern psychological thriller full of family secrets, twists and turns, and betrayal.

“In a dramatic change from Angoe’s trilogy about professional assassin Nina Knight, a disgraced daughter returns to her South Carolina family to find that it’s in even bigger trouble than she thought…Endless skeletons in the family closet, all disclosed by a protagonist who makes one reckless move after another.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“Anthony Award–nominated author Yasmin Angoe is an expert at blending fast-paced action, jaw-dropping plot twists, and flawed but likable characters. Her first standalone, Not What She Seems, is a must-read for domestic suspense fans. An excellent tale of cat and mouse, or should I say spider versus fly.” ―Kellye Garrett, award-winning author of Missing White Woman

“Jacinda Brodie, you have my sword. Never have I fallen deeper in love with characters than I did the Brodies of beautiful, troubled, small-town South Carolina. Yasmin Angoe’s incredible blend of talents―her ability to deliver high-intensity blowups on par with the best action thrillers and her deep character work, which shines through her uniquely voicey prose―make Not What She Seems a total knockout. I laughed, I gasped, and―shockingly―I cried. In an astonishing feat, Angoe combines a dark-as-sin psychological suspense with a heartwarming tale of familial redemption, peppered with laugh-out-loud social commentary. Like me, readers will marvel at her virtuosity while eagerly awaiting her next.” ―Ashley Winstead, critically acclaimed author of Midnight Is the Darkest Hour

In 2021, Yasmin Angoe made a dramatic entrance into the thriller scene with Her Name is Knight, eliciting unanimous acclaim from critics. “Nothing short of mesmerizing,” cheered The Washington Independent Review of Books; “A dazzling, suspenseful tale of international intrigue,” raved The Guardian; “deftly balances action, interpersonal relationships, issues of trauma, and profound human questions in an unforgettable novel,” Library Journal shared in a starred review.

Yasmin Angoe elevated the international espionage thriller genre with her Knight series (currently in development as a TV Series by Fifth Season & Ink Factory), and now she’s set to redefine domestic psychological suspense with her new unforgettable novel, NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS (Thomas & Mercer; August 1, 2024).

She left home as the local pariah, but when a family tragedy brings her back, she must confront her tortured past―and a new danger in town that no one seems to understand but her. Ripe with Southern drama, truly memorable characters, and gasp-worthy twists, NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS is a novel that even the most discerning aficionados of thrillers will want to devour whole.

To help celebrate the release of Yasmin Angoe’s electric new psychological thriller, we are hosting a virtual book tour with this outstanding list of book influencers who will post reviews, features, and giveaways. We hope you will follow along!
