You Are Not Alone

At the start of this entertaining yet shallow psychological thriller from bestsellers Hendricks and Pekkanen (The Wife Between Us), lonely temp Shay Miller watches in horror as a stranger, Amanda Evinger, commits suicide by throwing herself off a Manhattan subway platform in front of a moving train. The distraught Shay, who becomes fixated on Amanda, tracks down the young woman’s address and shows up at her memorial service. Shay’s presence attracts the attention of glamorous sisters Jane and Cassandra Moore, whose inner circle of women included Amanda. Jane and Cassandra worry that somehow Amanda confessed to Shay that the women are involved in a kind of vigilante justice in which they inflict revenge on people who may have wronged one of them. Though the story doesn’t delve deep into the characters, the strong plot generates plenty of tension as the sisters befriend Shay and set about remaking her life—all the better to spy on her. Though not up to the standard of the authors’ previous books, this one’s sure to please suspense fans. Agent: Victoria Sanders, Victoria Sanders Assoc. (Mar.)
