Hey, you! Just dropping into your inbox to let you know my new novel, Beware the Woman hits bookstores on May 30. Scroll down for Preorder Links and Tour Dates below. Beware the Woman is the story of Jacy—newly married, with a baby on the way—and her new husband, Jed, embarking on a trip to visit Jed’s father, Dr. Ash, in a snug cottage in Michigan’s far-flung Upper Peninsula. Once there, Jacy has a mild health scare and her Edenic idyll turns into something far darker... I’m also going to be adapting it for a feature film—more on that soon! ADVANCE CRITICAL RESPONSE Time Magazine highlighted it in their "Best of May" list, noting "Abbott spins an enigmatic tale web of foreboding and unease as she delves into family secrets and gender politics" in a novel "brimming with suspense." Publishers Weekly named it one of the Best Summer Reads 2023. In their (starred) review, PW writes, “spine-tingling suspense… a masterful and provocative deep dive into desire, love, and gender politics. Readers will be left breathless.” Oprah Daily said, “With this bewitchingly creepy tale, thriller queen Megan Abbott keeps readers questioning whether this family getaway is the stuff of anxiety dreams or Bluebeard nightmares.” Booklist (starred review) called Beware the Woman “another knockout performance… A real treat for the author’s many fans and for everyone who treasures that sense of Gothic-tinged trouble both within and without. Think Rebecca in the UP. Abbott's a crime-fiction A-lister now.”  Kirkus Reviews: “Abbott masterfully builds a claustrophobic atmosphere of mistrust and insecurity reminiscent of Get Out.  An unsettling, nightmare-inducing morsel from a master of suspense.” PREORDER LINKS   Preorders are so appreciated!
