"The Body Next Door is packed with twists, lies, and secrets tied together with an unexpected surrealist element that creates a truly unique thriller unlike anything I've read before. With multiple rich POVs spanning Washington's elite to a survivalist cult, Chance's characters will keep you guessing until the very last chapter."
The Engagement Party (2023)
Finley Turner
"The Engagement Party has the glamour and ever-lurking twists reminiscent of Knives Out, coupled with a chilling, page-turning pace that made it impossible to put down. Turner expertly weaves the past and present to create an unexpected locked room mystery where every character is glittering in diamonds and dark secrets."
The Family Compound (2022)
