Books Included in This Collection:
Rules for Perfect Murders
A chilling chain of murders echoes the crimes described in beloved mystery novels, drawing FBI Agent Gwen Mulvey toward a mysterious bookshop known as Old Devils. Swanson crafts a metafictional cat‑and‑mouse that plays with readers’ expectations, inviting you to question whether fiction can predict or even dictate real violence. The tension builds as clues blur the line between homage and duplicity, making it a quintessential opener to the set’s mood of literary intrigue and danger.

All the Beautiful Lies
On the cusp of graduation, Harry returns to his Maine home when his father dies, summoned by his seemingly benevolent step‑mother, Alice. But who really is Alice, and what is she hiding behind her bright smiles? Swanson steeps this family mystery in unsettling ambiguity, where memory collides with motive and every revelation reframes the past, keeping the reader engrossed in a slow‑burn unraveling that lands with a satisfying, spine‑tingling payoff.

The Kind Worth Killing
A delay in London becomes the spark for a dangerous exchange: two strangers bond over cocktails and a plan that sounds elegant in its simplicity but chilling in its potential consequences. As motives twist and alibis collapse, Swanson probes what happens when we’re tempted to act on a dark impulse and then wonder if we could ever truly escape the fallout. A taut, morally leashed thriller that lingers long after the last page.

Before She Knew Him
New residents in a quiet neighborhood, Hen and Lloyd are drawn into suspicion when a neighbor’s study hints at secrets hiding in plain sight. A seemingly ordinary dinner invitation spirals into a game of observation and doubt, where any misstep could reveal a danger lurking behind a friendly smile. Swanson’s crisp pacing and deft character work create a suspenseful ache that keeps you turning pages with increasing urgency.

The Girl With A Clock For A Heart
Twenty years after a college romance vanished, the missing beloved reappears, begging for help and dragging the protagonist back into a past he’d preferred to forget. The clock is ticking as loyalties are tested and old wounds reopen. This tale blends aching nostalgia with modern peril, delivering a romantic‑tinged mystery that reframes a youthful obsession as a gripping cautionary tale.

Her Every Fear
Hiding in plain sight, Kate Priddy relocates from London to Boston by way of an apartment swap with her cousin. But the danger isn’t just outside—the moment she arrives, a chilling discovery unsettles the new life she hoped would be safe. Swanson builds a claustrophobic sense of threat inside a shared space, making every neighbor, every wall, and every echo feel deceptive and charged with consequence.
