There are certain writers whose work you just devour, and Mary Kubica is one of those writers for me. I love to write books where the bottom drops out and leaves the reader reeling at least once along the way, so it’s no surprise that I enjoy reading thrillers that do the same, and Mary is a master of the twisty, oh-wow-NOW-I-get-it form.

Her latest thriller, THE OTHER MRS., is out today! And it’s already been optioned by Netflix, which is putting together the film adaptation as we speak. Can’t wait.

Mary Kubica is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of THE GOOD GIRL, PRETTY BABY, DON’T YOU CRY, EVERY LAST LIE and WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT. A former high school history teacher, Mary holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in History and American Literature. She lives outside of Chicago with her husband and two children. Her first novel THE GOOD GIRL was an Indie Next pick in August of 2014, received a Strand Critics Nomination for Best First Novel and was a nominee in the Goodreads Choice Awards in Debut Goodreads Author and in Mystery & Thriller for 2014. Mary’s novels have been translated into over thirty languages and have sold over two million copies worldwide. She’s been described as “a helluva storyteller,” (Kirkus Reviews) and “a writer of vice-like control,” (Chicago Tribune), and her novels have been praised as “hypnotic” (People) and “thrilling and illuminating” (Los Angeles Times).

So what book did Mary choose as her #read99women recommendation? “Uber-prolific writer Sara Shepard’s latest adult thriller, REPUTATION, boasts five female narrators, each as unique and captivating as the next. What starts as an email hack scandal soon turns into murder, in a novel that’s juicy, scandalous and totally twisted. Even better, REPUTATION has one of those picture perfect endings that may leave readers a little choked up – it’s that good. If you’re a fan of smart female characters, jaw-dropping twists and page- turning suspense, check this one out!”
