Norah Wilson’s standalone novels represent her writing at its most varied. Haunted by Dreams, her 2002 debut, announced an author interested in blending the supernatural with romantic suspense, and the four subsequent standalones each took that sensibility somewhere slightly different. Ashlyn’s Radio, published in 2011, uses a haunted radio as its central conceit. Fatal Hearts brings a more grounded contemporary drama approach. The Eleventh Commandment, her most recent standalone, is a thriller with religious conspiracy overtones.
Every Breath She Takes / Lauren’s Eyes, the 2004 entry (originally published as a double), sits in the psychic suspense territory Wilson returned to several times in her career. Across all five books, the common threads are strong female characters, romantic tension that develops alongside the main plot rather than displacing it, and Canadian settings that feel specific and lived-in rather than generic.
Readers who have worked through Wilson’s series and want to see how she handles one-off stories will find these standalones cover different enough ground to be worth tracking down. Readers new to her work can start anywhere in this list and get a reliable sense of her voice.
