Marilyn Clay’s standalone novels step outside her usual historical settings to deliver contemporary suspense. Stalking a Killer (2013) and He Didn’t Go Alone (2015) are set in the present day, a departure from the Regency-era England and Colonial America where most of her fiction takes place.
Clay is best known for her Juliette Abbot Regency mysteries and her Regency romance novels, so these standalones show a different side of her writing. The suspense elements are familiar from her mystery work, but the modern settings give the stories a different feel from her period fiction.
Readers who enjoy Clay’s mystery-solving instincts in the Juliette Abbot series may appreciate seeing those same skills applied to a contemporary thriller setting. At just two books, these standalones are a quick sample of what Clay can do outside her historical comfort zone.
