Dear Debbie

A brand new twisted thriller that will have you cheering "good for her!" from the #1 New York Times bestselling and global sensation Freida McFadden, author of The Housemaid!

Sometimes, enough is enough...

Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all of her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighborly advice. Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction.

Or at least, she did.

These days, Debbie's life seems to be spiraling out of control. She just lost her job. Something strange is happening with her teenage daughters. And her husband is keeping secrets, according to the tracking app she installed on his phone. Now, Debbie's done being the bigger person. She's done being reasonable and practical. It's time to take her own advice.

And now it's time for payback against all the people in her life who deserve it the most.

From #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a biting, subversive thriller about what happens when women finally choose to take justice into their own hands - with killer results.

This book is the Freida I fell for. Twists I never saw coming and humor. I loved the Dear Debbie responses. Great book in my opinion!

Debbie Mullen thought she had a great life. Her garden is amazing. She has a popular advice column. Her husband is even in line to be a partner at his accounting firm. However, things quickly spiral out of control. Debbie is done letting people walk all over her. Karma is coming.

Yet another wild ride from Frida Mc Fadden. By now, I should expect the unexpected, but she somehow still manages to trick me. By the end, my jaw was on the floor. Multiple times.

“Dear Debbie” by Freida McFadden (audiobook) is a tightly wound suspense that keeps you on edge from start to finish. Packed with secrets, lies, and betrayals. The tension builds perfectly, and just when you think you know where it’s going, McFadden pulls the rug out from under you. The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the story to life, adding even more intensity to an already gripping listen. A must-listen suspense that’s hard to pause and even harder to forget.
