Will Dean’s standalone novels share a common thread: confinement. The Last Thing to Burn (2021) follows a woman trapped in a farmhouse by a controlling partner, with each chapter tightening the tension. First Born (2022) centers on identical twins whose relationship becomes increasingly disturbing. The Last Passenger (2023) is set on a train, and The Chamber (2024) takes place in an enclosed space.
Adrift, scheduled for 2026, continues the pattern of isolation. Each book is self-contained and can be read in any order.
