This harrowing tale of love, loss, and the value of life is not to be missed." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (Starred Review) <p/> <br> "Brilliant. Terrifying. Compulsively readable." --Hallie Ephron, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author <p/> <br> "Provocative and powerful . . . Page after page, Richards ratchets up the tension, weaving tradecraft, disguises, and psychology into a riveting tale that peels back the layers of the soul. The prose is often lyrical, the descriptions of the human heart achingly accurate. It will surely stand with the year's best suspense thrillers." --Gayle Lynds, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author <p/> <br> "Linda L. Richards' <b><i>Endings</i></b> grabs you by the throat on page one and doesn't let go until The End. The writing is crisp, and the story has plenty of whiplashing twists and turns. <b><i>Endings</i></b> is the confident return of a writer at the height of her powers." --Matt Coyle, Anthony, Shamus, and Lefty Award-winning author <p/> <br> "An unusually haunting thriller with a complex, seriously badass heroine. <b><i>Endings</i></b> brings you into a strange and dark world from page one, and then shows you the light. I highly recommend this book." --Sheena Kamal, Macavity Award-winning author <p/> <br> "[<b><i>Endings</i></b> is a] tightly woven, fast-paced, tension-filled thrill ride full of surprises . . . an outstanding, brilliantly conceived crime novel." --<i>New York Journal of Books</i> <p/> <br><b>Praise for Linda L. Richards</b> <p/> "<i>Death Was the Other Woman</i> propelled me straight into depression-era Los Angeles--a really stellar crime caper, a delight." --Louise Penny, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author <p/> <br> "<i>Mad Money</i> does what many have tried and few have managed--to turn stock swindles and corporate crime into a fun, roller-coaster read." --Alafair Burke, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author <p/> <br> "Linda L. Richards' <i>The Next Ex</i> is as smart and sophisticated as its heroine, Madeline Carter. A bracingly intelligent whodunit." --Laura Lippman, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><i><b>Linda L.
