About the Book

Alexandra Dubois, a NYT bestselling author, has made a name for herself by crafting twisted serial killers in her romantic suspense series. When threatening notes from an “invested reader” escalate into violence, Alex has to admit she’s not safe in her own home. Although her autism makes any changes to her routine difficult, she reluctantly accepts her editor’s advice to fly to his sprawling vacation home in West Virginia so she can focus on her looming deadline.

Fighting paranoia that the stalker has discovered her mountain hideaway, Alex still forces herself to write several chapters in her novel. But when a thunderstorm leaves her stranded and she hears a knock at her door, she’s about to discover that life truly is stranger than fiction.

Fans of Alfred Hitchcock, Mary Higgins Clark, and Misery are sure to be hooked by this clean, fast-paced domestic thriller by RWA Daphne Award-winning author Heather Day Gilbert.

"This smart and captivating thriller hooked me from the first page to the last, not least because Alexandra Dubois is the most refreshingly original and likeable character I’ve come across in a long time."
– Karin Kaufman, author of the Juniper Grove mysteries and Teagan Doyle thrillers
"A dark, secluded cabin seems just the place to escape a stalker...unless your stalker is closer than you thought. Queen of Hearts employs the best elements of classic Hitchcock to spin a thrilling psychological suspense."

“This psychological thriller is one wild ride of a book, laced with a mix of realities and mental illusions. Cleverly plotted with creepy twists and eccentric turns that will keep readers white-knuckling the book, hoping the beloved leading lady can make it to the last page."
– Catie Cordero, author of historical mystery Where Legends Die
