The Madeline Dawkins Series

She doesn’t remember what she did. They’ll make her pay anyway....

Blackmail, sabotage, and blood-chilling suspense converge in this phycological thriller meets detective mystery by Cynthia Hamilton, the best-selling author of the Madeline Dawkins series. 

A picture-perfect life.... 

Madeline had it all. A handsome, successful husband. A coveted spot near the top of Santa Barbara’s elite social pyramid. A country-club lifestyle with every luxury money could buy. If only she knew how quickly she’d lose everything. 

Destroyed overnight.... 

Madeline wakes up naked in a five-star hotel with no memory of how she got there. At home, her husband is threatening to file for divorce. Someone sent him a series of incriminating pictures from last night, all featuring Madeline…in bed with a man she doesn’t recognize. It’s an obvious setup, but nobody will believe her unless she can prove it. 

What if the ones you trust.... 

Disgraced from her Santa Barbara community, Madeline is left to fend for herself against an invisible enemy. But each new clue pulls her deeper into a dangerous game, where old friends turn into enemies and nobody can be trusted. 

…can't wait to bring you down? 

As her enemy’s attacks grow increasingly personal and disturbing, it’s clear they will do anything to destroy Madeline’s reputation…or even her life. 

Told through the eyes of an unsuspecting wife who must navigate the misinformation and betrayal found around every corner. 

An action-packed ride full of unexpected twists, a must-listen for fans of Ruth Ware, Karin Slaughter, and Mary Stone.
