Cole Baxter has published nearly 60 psychological thrillers since 2018, maintaining a pace of roughly 8 to 10 books per year. His standalones make up the bulk of his output, with titles like Stolen Son, The Perfect Nanny, What Happened Last Night, and The Doppelganger exploring domestic suspense, missing persons, and unreliable narrators.
The Liars Island series is his most unusual project: 18 books all published in 2021, each set on the same island and named after a location there (Panic Pond, Forbidden Falls, Gold Digger Grove, etc.). The Detective Carrie Blake series follows a recurring investigator across four books published between 2021 and 2025. Baxter’s books tend toward fast-paced domestic thrillers with twists.
