Darby Kane is the pseudonym for a former divorce lawyer and #1 international bestselling author of domestic suspense. Her books have been optioned for television and featured in numerous venues, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Cosmopolitan.

"The step-by-step reveal is a gradual release of tension built during the novel’s opening half. Each character’s narrative concludes with a hint at secrets yet to be illuminated, and the author keeps readers in the dark until the end. The story moves like a race car on a straightaway: pages must be turned, and fast. Fans of James Patterson and those who love suspense novels full of twists, turns, and edge-of-your-seat pacing will want to read Kane’s new book." — Library Journal"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"Hints at Aubrey’s possibly psychopathic traits, the slow revelation of secrets, and the tenuous bonds between Hanna, Stella, and Marni brew suspense in this mystery thriller that’s pure comfort reading for fans of Kane and Lucy Foley." — Booklist"Yet another gripping mystery filled with more twists than a bag of licorice.” — E! News Online"Such a clever thriller! Darby Kane delivers on the chilling premise of a missing family, a daughter returned, and three women forced to confront deadly secrets they wanted to keep buried. A total page-turner!”  — Robyn Harding, bestselling author of The Haters"As always, Darby Kane takes us on a dark ride through tangled memories, wild danger, and a deranged web of lies I wasn’t sure I’d find my way out of. Such a Clever Girl is a moody and intricately paced whodunit set against the backdrop of a Sleepy Hollow mansion haunted by deadly memories and maybe a few ghosts. I kept reading way past my bedtime to solve the mystery, and I did not see that ending coming!"  — Victoria Helen Stone, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of Bald-Faced Liar"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"An isolated island. A violent storm. A group of friends with secrets. And one body after another. Darby Kane has cooked up one heck of a locked room thrilled with this recipe, and as she stirs the pot, dropping in unexpected twists and shattering reveals, you'll find yourself wondering who--if anyone--will survive the night. You won't be able to read The Engagement Party fast enough!" — Jessica Payne, international bestselling author of Make Me Disappear"My God, this book is delicious. The Engagement Party is a swallow-down-in-one-desperate-gulp kind of thriller, so compelling I felt feral turning its pages. Darby Kane is a master at constructing juicy, twist-filled plots. The multiple points-of-view, ensemble cast, dark, isolated Maine setting, and decade-old secrets combine to create a locked-room mystery of the highest order, a puzzle-box so clever and sly it would make Agatha Christie proud." — Ashley Winstead, author of Midnight is the Darkest Hour“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“Righteousness and vengeance intertwine when a select group of influential women decides to mete out justice in The Last Invitation, Darby Kane’s third gripping thriller that features myriad believable twists.” — Shelf Awareness
