Praise for Watch Us Fall
“No one writes about D.C. like Christina Kovac. Her latest, Watch Us Fall, is as much a poignant examination of female friendship as it is about what happened to a golden boy journalist from a Kennedy-esque political family chock full of secrets. I couldn’t put it down!”
—KELLYE GARRETT, award-winning author of Missing White Woman
“Fast paced and full of surprises, Watch Us Fall is like a Russian nesting doll with layers of secrets and mystery — and at it’s center, a rumination on how grief and desire can distort reality. Christina Kovac has written a very of-the-moment thriller about love and friendship that will keep readers on their toes and compulsively turning pages.”
—JANELLE BROWN, New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Paradise and Pretty Things.
“An insightful look at the complex dynamics of close female friendships and the lingering effects of trauma, Watch Us Fall is also a fast moving, twisty thriller that pulls you in on page one and keeps you reading until the surprising and satisfying ending.”
—ALAFAIR BURKE, New York Times bestselling author of The Note
“There’s nothing twistier and more fascinating than the human mind, and Christina Kovac does a terrific job of exploring that landscape in Watch Us Fall. Lucy Ambrose is a compelling main character and an even more engrossing narrator, making this novel of secrets and lies the kind of puzzle that keeps you guessing on every page.”
—LOU BERNEY, Edgar Award-winning author of Crooks
A stunning work of suspense that’s impossible to put down. Christina Kovac masterfully combines a twisty missing person mystery, a heartbreaking love story, and an insightful exploration of the nature of obsession and trauma. I loved this novel.”
—ANGIE KIM, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls and Miracle Creek
They called themselves the Sweeties…
Lucy and her three best friends share their glamorous post-grad lives in a decaying house in the heart of Georgetown. They have exciting jobs, dramatic love lives, and most importantly, each other.
But when Addie, the group’s leader, discovers that her ex-boyfriend Josh has gone missing, the Sweetie’s worlds are turned upside down. In the days leading up to his disappearance, Josh, a star investigative journalist from a prominent political family, was behaving erratically—and Lucy is determined to find out why. All four friends upend their lives to search for him, but detectives begin to suspect that the Sweeties might now more than they’re letting on.
A thrilling account of the lies and delusions that lurk beneath friendships and the sinister realities of celebrity, Watch Us Fall examines what we tell ourselves when we can’t face the truth.
The Cutaway
It began with someone else's story. In the beginning, a woman went out to meet a man, and on her long walk, she disappeared . . .
When brilliant TV news producer Virginia Knightly receives a disturbing “MISSING” notice on her desk related to the disappearance of a beautiful young attorney, she can’t seem to shake the image from her head. Despite skepticism from her colleagues, Knightly suspects this ambitious young lawyer may be at the heart of something far more sinister, especially since she was last seen leaving an upscale restaurant after a domestic dispute. Yet, as the only woman of power at her station, Knightly quickly finds herself investigating on her own.
Risking her career, her life, and perhaps even her own sanity, Knightly dives deep into the dark underbelly of Washington, DC business and politics in an investigation that will drag her mercilessly through the inextricable webs of corruption that bind the press, the police, and politics in our nation’s capital.
The Cutaway is a striking debut that will haunt you long after you reach the last page. Read the reviews.
