Julie Clark’s standalone novels are suspense thrillers. The Ones We Choose (2018) was her debut. The Last Flight (2020) is about two women who trade plane tickets and identities at an airport. The Lies I Tell (2022) follows a con artist and the journalist pursuing her. The Ghostwriter (2025) is her most recent novel.
The Last Flight was Clark’s breakout book, reaching the New York Times bestseller list. The premise is simple: two strangers at JFK airport, each desperate to disappear, swap boarding passes. What follows is a dual-timeline thriller that peels back the secrets both women are running from. The Lies I Tell uses a similar structure of alternating perspectives, this time between a con artist and the woman trying to expose her.
Clark’s writing has a lean, fast-moving quality that keeps her books short enough to read in a day or two. The Ones We Choose, her debut, has a slightly different feel, leaning more toward family drama than pure suspense. By The Last Flight, she had found the thriller voice that carried through her later books.
