Julia Heaberlin has published six standalone thrillers since 2012, each built around a different mystery with deep roots. Her books are set mostly in Texas and feature women confronting dangerous pasts, unreliable memories, and crimes that official investigations failed to solve.
Playing Dead (2012) and Lie Still (2013) established her style. Black-Eyed Susans (2015), about a woman who survived a serial killer and now questions her own testimony, became her breakout novel. Paper Ghosts (2018), We Are All the Same in the Dark (2020), and Night Will Find You (2023) continued her run of atmospheric, character-driven suspense.
