The Last Housewife

fullDescription

From the author of the acclaimed In My Dreams I Hold a Knife comes a pitch-black thriller about a woman determined to destroy a powerful cult and avenge the deaths of the women taken in by it, no matter the cost.

While in college in upstate New York, Shay Evans and her best friends met a captivating man who seduced them with a web of lies about the way the world works, bringing them under his thrall. By senior year, Shay and her friend Laurel were the only ones who managed to escape.

Now, eight years later, Shay's built a new life in a tony Texas suburb. But when she hears the horrifying news of Laurel's death―delivered, of all ways, by her favorite true-crime podcast crusader―she begins to suspect that the past she thought she buried is still very much alive, and the predators more dangerous than ever.

Recruiting the help of the podcast host, Shay goes back to the place she vowed never to return to in search of answers. As she follows the threads of her friend's life, she's pulled into a dark, seductive world, where wealth and privilege shield brutal philosophies that feel all too familiar.

When Shay's obsession with uncovering the truth becomes so consuming she can no longer separate her desire for justice from darker desires newly reawakened, she must confront the depths of her own complicity and conditioning. But in a world built for men to rule it—both inside the cult and outside of it—is justice even possible, and if so, how far will Shay go to get it?

     April 18, 2022
     In this disturbing psychological thriller from Winstead (Fool Me Once), there’s no hiding from the past for Shay Deroy, who has been running for eight years from the trauma she and her two closest friends at New York’s Whitney College suffered at the hands of the charismatic older man who initially captivated them, then held them captive. Alarm bells sound for Shay, now a Dallas trophy wife, when she learns that her surviving bestie, gentle Laurel Hargrove, has been found hanging on the Whitney campus, eerily echoing the scene at other bestie Clem Jones’s apparent suicide her senior year. Coincidence? True crime podcaster Jamie Knight, Shay’s friend since childhood, doesn’t think so—and he makes a public plea for her help investigating. Still feeling guilty about failing to protect Clem, Shay agrees to join forces with Jamie. Back at Whitney, she runs up against some of the same malevolent forces that seduced her before. Winstead offers insight into the masochistic psychology that can set up vulnerable women to be recruited into cults, but readers should be prepared for ugly scenes of self-harm, suicide, rape, and misogyny. This dark suspense novel may be too grim for some. Agent: Melissa Edwards, Stonesong.

   • content: Shay Evans, the titular protagonist of this audiobook thriller, is a complex woman. She is a real housewife of Dallas--until her old college roommate turns up dead. Then she is forced to reenter the dark period of her college years. Narrator Alexis Van Aiken capably amplifies Shay's many conflicting emotions. Van Aiken's skill turns Shay into a likable character as she seeks redemption, despite some dubious life choices. The versatile narrator creates equally believable male characters, which is essential since much of the action takes place in a testosterone-soaked environment. Van Aiken's spirited rendering of this mystery makes for a chilling listening experience. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
