"A spare historical thriller about trusting the wrong people. Our verdict: Get it " -Kirkus Reviews

"Unseasonably Cold's atmosphere is Wharton and Towles; its page-turning plot is pure Christie." - Airmail Weekly

"I was enthralled from the first page to the very last. A fascinating, compelling read that I thought about for a long time after. It's not a book to be missed." -Jill Santopolo, New York Times best-selling author of The Light We Lost



About The Book

Set in New York society in 1939, Unseasonably Cold opens a year after columnist and publishing heiress Jane Henry vanishes without a trace. Her best friend, Liza Simon, remains haunted by one of the last things Jane told her: that Jane’s husband had turned “unseasonably cold.”

Replete with secrets, lies and betrayal, the story takes a dangerous turn when new evidence implicates Liza’s own brother, Timothy. She is forced to question everyone around her and confront a truth more dangerous than she imagined. The novel combines literary elegance with the suspense of a sophisticated mystery as the polished manners of New York society conceal private turmoil and the threat of war shadows Europe in ways that feel oddly reminiscent of the present.
