Catherine Dang’s standalone novels are psychological thrillers with dark undercurrents. Nice Girls (2021), her debut, is set in a Minnesota suburb where the main character’s return home coincides with the disappearance of a former classmate. The investigation pulls her deeper into the town’s hidden ugliness.
What Hunger (2025) is her second novel. Both books are standalone stories, so readers can start with either one. Dang’s approach to the thriller genre emphasizes the internal world of her characters as much as the external mystery they face.
