Made You Look

An influencer’s Catskills retreat turns deadly in this zippy locked-room thriller from Grant (the X Enterprises series, as Tanya Gallagher). It-girl Sydney Kent invites her inner circle to the secluded Reverie Resort for a free getaway in exchange for their help with some promotional posts. Secrets fester from the get-go: Sydney’s best friend, Lucy, is hiding details about the mysterious death of Sydney’s ex-boyfriend, and Sydney’s current boyfriend, Jeff, is concealing his online sex work. When a freak snowstorm strands everyone at the Reverie without cell service or Wi-Fi, they initially welcome the digital detox. Then one of Sydney’s closest collaborators turns up dead, and the group realizes they’ve been stranded in the middle of nowhere with a killer. Grant gradually reveals her characters’ shared histories through a series of well-executed flashbacks, and she updates the familiar And Then There Were None premise with a few nasty tweaks that skewer the age of social media. Caustic, claustrophobic, and page-turning to the end, this shivery slasher will bewitch suspense fans. Agent: Samantha Fabien, Root Literary. (Nov.)
