Minka Kent’s standalone thrillers form the core of her commercial success. The 29 novels, published between 2016 and 2023, follow a consistent formula — ordinary women discover that the people and situations they trusted are hiding something dangerous. The Thinnest Air, about a wife who disappears during a trip, became her breakout hit.
Her thrillers favor domestic settings and unreliable narrators. Books like The Perfect Roommate, The Memory Watcher, and Unmissing put their protagonists in situations where the threat comes from someone close — a spouse, a neighbor, a friend. Kent writes lean, fast-paced suspense that typically resolves in a single sitting.
