A.J. Banner’s six standalone novels share a formula: a woman in the Pacific Northwest, a domestic setting that feels safe, and a slow reveal of something wrong underneath. The Good Neighbor (2015) and The Twilight Wife (2016) established the pattern. After Nightfall (2018) involves a dinner party that goes wrong, and The Poison Garden (2019) is set at an isolated botanical retreat.
In Another Light (2021) and Dreaming of Water (2023) continue the approach with new characters and settings but the same atmospheric suspense. Banner writes books that work as quick, tense reads built around the question of who you can trust.
