“ Quite a bit of fun. There’s murder!<br />
Deceit! Blackmail! . . . And soon enough<br />
there’s a dead body in the pool.”<br />
—The New York Times<br />
“ A mesmerizing read, Ryder’s first<br />
novel is assured and elegant.” —Booklist<br />
“ A modern gothic that emits a<br />
creepy glow . . . with a nicely subdued<br />

In Malice, Quite Close<br />
A Novel<br />
Brandi Lynn Ryder<br />
When French expatriate Tristan Mourault becomes enamored<br />
with fifteen-year-old Karen Miller, he “rescues” her from her<br />
working-class circumstances and stages her death to mask his true<br />
crime. Years later, Karen is now “Gisèle” and lives with Tristan<br />
in rarefied Devon, Washington. She has married another man to<br />
keep up appearances, but when her daughter stumbles upon a secret<br />
cache of paintings—all nudes of Gisèle—Tristan’s carefully curated<br />
world begins to crumble.<br />
Set against a byzantine backdrop of greed, artifice, and manipulation—with<br />
tantalizing echoes of Lolita—In Malice, Quite Close<br />
keeps its most devastating secrets right up until the very last page.<br />
