Thriller Psychological

Not every invitation is meant to be accepted. This one could be her last.

When a bestselling author receives an invitation to return to her hometown, she never suspects she may be walking into the most unsettling plot twist of her life.

After her first two books flatlined, author Molly Archer is delighted that her dark campus thriller, Birds at Night, is an instant hit. Newly divorced and raising two children in an upscale community north of Manhattan, Molly will do whatever it takes to sustain her novel’s momentum and support the lifestyle she’s worked so hard to achieve.

When an enthusiastic book club organizer from her hometown reaches out, Molly welcomes the opportunity to meet readers. Traveling back to Ohio offers the perfect excuse to check on her widowed mom, whose health—and memory—appear to be unraveling.

As much as she looks forward to the trip, one thing troubles Molly: She can’t remember Anna Fox, the woman who extended the invitation and seems all too eager to reconnect.

Will Molly’s visit introduce her to a new group of adoring fans or is she stepping into her deadliest chapter yet?

A simmering, slow-burn domestic suspense novel, A Different Type of Poison explores the stories we tell, secrets we bury, and the price we pay for both. Misery meets The Plot in this taut literary thriller perfect for fans of Sally Hepworth, Liane Moriarty, and Lisa Jewell.

Praise for A Different Type of Poison:

"Deliciously damaged characters, big secrets, and twists aplenty make for fast-paced entertainment in Liz Alterman’s rollicking book-within-a-book thriller, A Different Type of Poison." — Andromeda Romano-Lax, The Deepest Lake

"This book is fast-paced, oh-so-twisty and very, very clever. I literally raced through the last half, my fingers flying to turn the pages, breath caught in my throat, as the tension mounted, and everything came together. If you like beautifully written, clever suspense thrillers, then this is a must-read."— Miranda Rijks, One Little Mistake

"Much recommended if you enjoyed Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang and are a fan of Alice Feeney type of twists." — Netgalley reviewer

"A twisted, dark, psychological thriller that keeps you guessing, and then throws an almighty shock into the end. A recommended read." — Netgalley reviewer

"Liz Alterman has done it again. The book started off strong, pulled me in and did not let up. I could not put it down and finished it in a day. The twist had me gasping out loud. Well written and such a wild ride. Highly recommend!" — Netgalley reviewer

"This is an easy 5-star read in my books and A Different Type of Poison by Liz Alterman did not disappoint!" — Netgalley reviewer

"... it kept me engrossed till the last page with its thrilling plot, skillfully executed, featuring jaw dropping twists and damaged characters." — Netgalley reviewer
