Susan McBride’s standalone novels step away from mystery into women’s fiction and contemporary romance. The Cougar Club, published in 2010, follows three friends navigating life and love after forty. Little Black Dress, released in 2011, tells the story of a vintage dress that connects the women who wear it across decades.
The Truth About Love and Lightning, published in 2013, is set in a small Missouri town where a mysterious stranger appears during a storm and disrupts the lives of a local family. Very Bad Things, from 2014, is a young adult thriller about a group of teens whose spring break goes wrong. Together, these books show McBride’s range beyond the mystery genre.
