A Small Affair
“Money, romance, and murder are always key ingredients for a delicious thriller. And in the latest from Flora Collins, they’re used expertly.” —Town & Country, The 30 Must-Read Books of Winter 2023
In Flora Collins new novel, “A Small Affair,” Vera is ruthlessly ambitious, beautiful, and knows how to get exactly what she wants—no matter who stands in the way.
When she meets a wealthy older man on an exclusive dating app, she thinks nothing of the wife he tells her he’s separated from. But days later, when the man and his wife are found dead in their home, Vera is immediately blamed for their deaths and branded as good as a murderer.
A year later, she emerges from a cocoon of self-pity and tries to reenter the world, but the specter of scandal still clings to her. Then she’s invited to a memorial for the wife of her former lover.
As she learns more about the family, and about the couple and their friends, she begins to suspect there was more to the story than an affair gone wrong.
In a quest for redemption, Vera uncovers layers of lies and close-kept secrets held by an inner circle of filthy rich tech millionaires who will go to any lengths to protect their reputations.

A Mother Would Know
“Do we ever really know our children? Amber Garza invites readers to untangle the web of a family just like yours—or are they? This thriller will have you triple-guessing yourself.” —Eliza Jane Brazier, author of “If I Disappear.”
In the novel “A Mother Would Know,” Valerie has been forgetting things. Her daughter worries about her being on her own in her big Victorian house. One rumored to be haunted after a tragedy decades earlier, and truth be told, she is a little lonely.
With few options, she asks her adult son to move home, but it’s not quite the reunion she hoped for. Hudson is taciturn, moody and frequently gone.
The neighbors already hold a grudge against Hudson, and they aren’t happy about his return.
When a young woman is found murdered a block away, suspicion falls on him immediately, without a shred of evidence. While Valerie fights to defend her son, she begins to wonder who she really invited into her home.
It’s a horrible thing for a mother to even think…but is it possible she’s enabled a monster? A monster she is living with, alone?
