Sarah Painter’s standalone novels sit apart from her series work but share her interest in hidden things beneath the surface of everyday life. These books lean more toward psychological suspense than her urban fantasy series, though supernatural elements still appear.
The three standalones range from a hospital mystery spanning decades to stories about buried family secrets and missing women. Each book works on its own and offers a different angle on Painter’s writing.
