New Zealand-Set Thrillers

 

Alt Text: Thrillers by Nalini Singh: There Should Have Been Eight, Quiet in Her Bones, A Madness of Sunshine.

Nalini's latest thriller, Such A Perfect Family releases next week!! In the meantime, if you haven't already, it's a great time to dive into her previous New Zealand-set thrillers:

There Should Have Been Eight is a locked room mystery except the ”room” is a gothic ruined mansion in New Zealand’s Southern Alps. It features seven friends, one huge secret, and a reunion that goes quietly, terribly wrong… 

Quiet In Her Bones is a quietly dark story about a woman who vanished ten years ago, and has now been found in the tangled forest only a short distance from her home...still dressed in the clothes she was wearing that night. What happened to Nina Rai? Someone in her exclusive cul-de-sac knows the truth...

And A Madness of Sunshine is an atmospheric thriller set in a remote New Zealand town. What if you knew one of your neighbors or friends was a murderer...but you didn’t know who... Who would you trust?

What's the word for an unmarried black widower?" - Uncover the truth in Such A Perfect Family.
