Cate Holahan’s standalone novels cover a range of suspenseful scenarios, but they share common ground in their focus on women facing hidden threats. Dark Turns (2015) kicked off her career with a story set in the world of competitive dance, and later books like The Widower’s Wife and Lies She Told built her reputation for twisty domestic plots.
Her more recent standalones, including Her Three Lives and The Darkness of Others, push into territory where digital life and social class create new kinds of danger. The Kidnapping of Alice Ingold (2025) is her latest, continuing the pattern of high-stakes personal suspense.
Each book works on its own, so there is no required reading order. Readers can start with whichever premise appeals to them most.
