Freida McFadden has become one of the most consistent producers of domestic psychological thrillers in English-language fiction over the past several years. The Inmate, The Nurse’s Secret, The Housemaid — the formula is reliable and the readership is enormous, driven substantially by BookTok communities that respond to reliable emotional escalation and twist-dependent endings. McFadden has optimized for exactly what that audience wants. The Divorce, publishing May 26, follows Naomi, whose perfect life unravels when her husband leaves her for a younger woman.
