LYNNE | REEVES | GRIFFIN

“Shatteringly original, intensely suspenseful, and written with a tender eloquence that will break your heart. The talented Lynne Reeves—a master of subtext—weaves her brilliant insight into a riveting story of best intentions, unintended consequences, and devastated families.”

—Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today Bestselling author of Her Perfect Life

“Both tender and tense, this novel trembles with the secrets lying under its many perfect facades. Lynne Reeves writes a thriller like no other: informed, nuanced, and forever keeping you at the edge of your seat. Grab this one!”

—Rene Denfeld, bestselling author of The Child Finder

“The Dangers of an Ordinary Night is a riveting page turner that explores the many masks we wear. It’s a mystery, a marriage story—a great read on many levels. You won’t put it down.”

—Erica Ferencik, author of The River at Night

“In her suspenseful new novel, The Dangers of an Ordinary Night, Lynne Reeves brilliantly demonstrates that, in the theater of life, it is so often the people we’re closest to who are the most convincing actors of all. Lies, deception, a marriage in disarray, and the ruinous consequences of long kept secrets propel this novel to its tragic and startling end.”

—Elizabeth Brundage, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Vanishing Point

“As the suspects add up, the suspense and mystery escalate until the unexpected and shocking conclusion, making this a true nail-biter.”

—New York Journal of Books

"…an extraordinary mystery. If Agatha Christie had lived in Boston, she would’ve written a mystery similar to this one."

—Gumshoe Review

"…a three-act tragedy that peers beneath every parent’s worst nightmare…with chapter titles drawn from twenty-seven plays…Reeves’ uncommonly assured novel, by turns sensitive and scarifying, identifies an elusive target and hits it dead on."

—Kirkus Reviews

“Reeves writes a powerfully moving exploration of how far a mother will go to keep her children safe–an intimate portrait of a family defined by secrets and lies. Riveting, propulsive, and haunting, with bonus points for its wilderness setting, I loved Dark Rivers to Cross!”

—Karen Dionne, international bestselling author of The Marsh King’s Daughter

“With an obvious love of Maine’s wilderness, Lynne Reeves delivers a heart-in-your-throat page-turner that shines a compassionate light on the injustices surrounding domestic violence and the failures of our mental healthcare system. A story about resilience and love, identity and self-discovery, Dark Rivers to Cross hits all the right notes and will keep readers guessing until the nail-biting end.”

—Julie Carrick Dalton, author of Waiting for the Night Song

“An emotional and thrilling story about the ghosts that carry and bury trauma in our own lives, and the role this plays in the choices we make. Dark Rivers to Cross will keep you turning pages into the night to discover what Lena will do to save her children from their past and the truth.” 

—Catherine McKenzie, USA Today bestselling author of I’ll Never Tell
