Madwoman

A cut above the usual domestic thrillers, this precisely written account of a thirtysomething woman's unravelling and remaking herself is a summer must-read. Clove, formerly known as Calla Lily, escaped her childhood of abuse and horror by taking her childhood best friend's identity and leaving Hawaii. Now, in her thirties with two children, addicted to clean eating and Gwyneth Paltrow-style shopping, she finds her past catching up with her when she receieves a mysterious letter from a women's correctional facility, and is forced to relive her memories of first love as well as the horrors and small joys of her childhood. And why is she so drawn to the mysterious Jane at the Whole Foods-style local market - is it romantic, or does she feel like she knows this woman already? Original, strange and definitely worth a read.

Absolutely breath-taking, MADWOMAN takes the domestic thriller to a whole new literary level.

Reminiscent of THE PUSH and THE RECOVERY OF ROSE GOLD, Bieker takes several captivating issues and blends them into one tense, sinister, and thoroughly page-turning thriller.

I don't want to give too much away, but if you love thrillers, this is an absolute must read.

Madwoman is a standout domestic thriller. it explores numerous themes including generational trauma and moral ambiguity, and is definitely a read that keeps you hooked from start to finish!

The story centers on Clove, an Instagram influencer hiding a dark past. Her life starts to unravel when she receives a letter from her imprisoned mother, forcing her to confront long-buried secrets.
This book is perfect for fans of psychological dramas and thrillers who enjoy complex, character-driven stories with surprising twists.

A Highly recommended suspenseful, page-turning read.
