Amina Akhtar’s standalone novels share a common thread of dark humor mixed with genuine suspense, but each tells a completely independent story. #FashionVictim (2018) skewers the fashion industry through a tale of workplace obsession turned deadly. Kismet (2022) moves to the world of desert wellness retreats and mysticism, while Almost Surely Dead (2024) is a psychological thriller about a woman whose near-death experiences may not be accidents.
Readers who enjoy thrillers with satirical bite will find that Akhtar’s books each take aim at a different slice of contemporary culture while keeping the tension high throughout.
