The Revenge List - by Hannah Mary McKinnon (Paperback)

About the Book

Accidentally leaving a list of people she wants to forgive in an Uber, Frankie Morgan, attending anger management therapy, thinks nothing of it until the first three people on the list die, causing her to fear for her life because the next name on the list is hers.

Book Synopsis

"This twisty, original thriller through the dark side of self-help is a breath of fresh air that ends with a jaw-dropping gasp." --Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest

"The Revenge List checks all the boxes of what a thriller should be. Brilliant premise? Check. Mounting tension? Check. Jaw-dropping twist? Double-check. I couldn't put it down!"
-- Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of The House Across the Lake


They say life flashes before your eyes when you're about to die. But all she could see was regret.

The people in Frankie Morgan's life say she's angry. Emotionally stunted. Combative. But really, who can blame her? It's hard being nice when your clients are insufferable, your next-door neighbor is a miserable woman and the cowardly driver who killed your mother is still out living it up somewhere.

Somehow, though, she finds herself at her very first anger-management group session--drinking terrible coffee and learning all about how "forgiveness is a process."

One that starts with a list.

Frankie is skeptical. A list of everyone who's wronged her in some way over the years? More paper, please. Still, she makes the pointless list--with her own name in a prominent spot--and promptly forgets about it...until it goes missing. And one by one, the people she's named start getting hurt in freak accidents, each deadlier than the last.

Could it be coincidence giving her the revenge she never dared to seek...or something more sinister?

If Frankie doesn't find out who's behind it all, she might be next.
