Praise for Sara Shepard

Praise for Safe in My Arms

“A smart and insightful page-turner, Safe in My Arms is a twisty mystery filled with keen observations about the impossibly high standards of motherhood and the critical importance of finding friends willing to accept you as the forgivably flawed person and parent you really are.”

—Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia and A Good Marriage

“We’ve read stories about the cutthroat world of high school and colleges, but in Safe in My Arms, Sara Shepard reminds us that things can get dark in academia way before that. This sharp, smart, and oh-so-twisty look at the sinister side of a privileged preschool is the kind of book that will have you staying up way too late—even if it’s a school night.”—Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs

“Sara Shepard returns to the domestic suspense scene with a deep dive into the lives of three mothers at a fancy private preschool, all of them harboring dark secrets. Taut, smart, and twisted, Safe in My Arms is everything I love in a suspense novel, a whip-smart tale of just how far a mother will go to protect her child. All the stars!”

—Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of Stranger in the Lake

“Set against an intriguing backdrop of ambition, privilege, and entitlement, Safe in My Arms explores how friendship, family, and loyalty help us persevere. Sara Shepard has crafted a twisty, compelling meditation on the long-buried secrets that haunt us, and the ways in which embracing those dark aspects of our pasts can ultimately set us free.”

—E. G. Scott, internationally bestselling author of In Case of Emergency

“No one writes about secrets like Sara Shepard! Safe in My Arms is a whopping page-turner of a book, packed with lies, betrayals, and head-spinning twists. I’ll never think about preschools the same way again.”

—Samantha Downing, USA Today bestselling author of My Lovely Wife and He Started It

Praise for Reputation

“Reputation follows the goings-on in a university community after a hack lands everyone’s private business squarely in the public eye. Like all of Shepard’s work, it is an inarguable page-turner filled with murder, intrigue, and female characters who are somehow simultaneously easy to adore and loathe.”

—Fortune.com

“Reputation has everything you’ve been waiting for: university gossip, Internet hackers, scandals, affairs, murder.”

—Literary Hub

“An Agatha Christie for the twenty-first century, Shepard masterfully crafts a prestigious town rife with hidden temptation and sin. . . . From chapter to chapter, Shepard’s plotting breathlessly careens between characters, with each cliff-hanger swiftly answered by another, ratcheting up the stakes until the killer is finally unmasked. A fast-paced, twisty-turny mystery perfect for a cozy weekend read.”

—Kirkus Reviews
