COMING SOON!
A novel of domestic suspense from Lynne Reeves
THE DANGERS OF AN ORDINARY NIGHT
A Novel
This twisty and affecting thriller combines a meticulously constructed crime story with a devastating domestic drama about the blind spots in our most precious relationships. With this novel, I wanted to explore the impact of addiction and betrayal on marriage. As a counselor working with families, I see the ripple effects of addiction on partners and children. I wanted to explore this reality through a fictional lens in hopes that the characters’ struggles will resonate with what readers may be going through in their own lives.

General Fiction
"In Girl Sent Away, Lynne Griffin takes on a topic that's rarely discussed but which richly deserves our attention: the fear-based teenage boot camps that serve as a dark undercurrent to our domestic culture.
A terrific and terrifying story, and one that should be told. Brava to Griffin for having the courage to do so." --Roxana Robinson, author of Cost and Sparta
