The Engagement Party is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you up all night following its twists and turns to a stunning conclusion. I couldn't put it down.” - Carol Goodman, New York Times bestselling author
"Buckle up folks. The Engagement Party is the definition of 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer.' The secluded setting with the relentless storm will have your heart pounding. The incredible twists will transport you into a tornado of lies and deception, and the ending will leave you gasping." - Jaime Lynn Hendricks, bestselling author of I Didn't Do It
The Engagement Party is a gripping, fast-paced, non-stop thriller! The twists and turns are sharp, they surprised me every time. Sit down with this book and get comfortable, because you won’t be able to put it down.”  - Samantha Downing, bestselling author of My Lovely Wife and A Twisted Love Story
“If Agatha Christie re-wrote your favorite slasher story, it would be The Engagement Party. This is Darby Kane’s darkest, twistiest thriller yet (which is saying a lot!), with game-changing surprises in nearly every chapter. It would be hard to find a book more fast-paced or adrenaline-fueled, because with this one, you don’t turn the pages; you tear through them.” - Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot and Thicker Than Water
“[A] gripping thriller…Skillfully intertwined chapters told from the viewpoints of Gabby, Jessa, and others keep the suspense level high…Readers will be curious to see what Kane does next.” - Publishers Weekly on The Last Invitation
“Darby Kane deserves credit for dispensing with anything resembling a slow burn in The Replacement Wife. There is a rollicking, almost absurdist tone to Kane’s writing that kept me engaged…Finally, after several doses of sociopathy, more than a little gaslighting and arguments galore, nearly all of Elisa’s suspicions are confirmed in the worst possible way. ‘Nearly’ saves room for a final surprise I didn’t foresee.” - New York Times Book Review
“Kane methodically builds this plot-driven thriller through each character’s perspective, then lets us watch as nearly all of them fall on the swords of their coverups. Tropes abound—isolated location, an approaching storm, and a plethora of unreliable narrators—but Kane still manages to keep the plot spinning in tornadic fashion.” - Kirkus Reviews on The Engagement Party
“Debut mystery author Kane blends tense domestic suspense with procedural details and legal thriller–like verbal sparring. A page-turner built on skillfully layered plotting and an intriguing protagonist.” - Booklist (starred review) on Pretty Little Wife
What The Wife Knew is a compelling whodunnit full of snark, secrets, and betrayals. While you’re guessing who’s out for revenge, prepare to be thoroughly entertained by this fast paced chiller that builds suspense with each passing chapter. Kane’s narrative shines with brilliant plotting and one twisted moment after another. This one is not to be missed.” - Jaime Lynn Hendricks, bestselling author of A Lovely Lie
"Darby presents a clever, bingeable psychological thriller perfect for fans of Camilla Läckberg." - Booklist
“Fans of dark domestic thrillers like “Gone Girl” will find much to obsess over in this twisty novel about a wife who is immediately suspected of murder when her widely beloved husband, a pediatric surgeon, dies after a nasty fall down a set of stairs.” - Seattle Times
