The Misfit series by AB Plum (Books 1 to 7)
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI reader, 8.06 mb
Overview: AB Plum outgrew Nancy Drew by fourth grade. Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle never really grabbed her. Poe and Hawthorne led to a fascination with the dark side of the human psyche. An interest in the brain and its workings fueled a love of Ruth Rendell, P.D. James, Margaret Millar, and dozens of contemporary "crime fiction" authors.
Growing up in Southern Missouri on ghost stories and horror comics might explain a lot. So does E.L. Doctorow’s quote, "Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.” And parenthetically, a socially acceptable way to commit murder.
AB’s dark, psychological thrillers probe the impact of the family on wounded hearts.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller > Domestic Thrillers
1. The Early Years (2016)(novella)
Different from birth, Michael Romanov is genius-bright. Cute. Self-reliant. Inventive. Yet his mother would rather kiss a cobra than touch him. She turns a blind eye to his older brother’s relentless bullying. His father, every bit as harsh and detached, colludes in the neglect. Pushed too far, Michael retaliates—orchestrating his family’s descent into hell.
2. The Lost Days (2017)(novella)
WARNING: Someone always wants to right a wrong …
Twelve-year-old Michael Romanov grabs summer freedom with gusto following his mother’s suicide. Night after night, he and his foster brother pick pockets in Copenhagen’s famous Tivoli Gardens. Talk about an adrenaline high. The thrill surpasses the money.
On the night that changes everything, the boys go for an easy mark. Surprise. The mark and another thug snatch the boys off the main Tivoli arcade and shove them into a waiting limo. The kidnappers want justice. Not for the murder of Michael’s older brother. Not for the suicide of his ice-princess mother.
The kidnappers have placed her on a pedestal despite her criminal maternal neglect. Michael quickly learns survival depends on keeping his hatred once again buried.
Abandoned in a godforsaken Finnish forest, the worse for wear from slaps and kicks and lack of food and sleep, the boys search for shelter under the Midnight Sun’s unrelenting heat. When they stumble on a beautiful, well-stocked cabin, they celebrate prematurely. Then, a kidnapper scarier than any of his partners shows up. What are the chances the billionaire Romanov will pay the king’s ransom demanded for the boys’ release?
What if … the older man is behind the abduction?
3. The In-Between Years (2017)
Unexpected consequences following the perfect murder …
A dangerous, potentially lethal plan offers eleven-year-old Michael a way to repay the ransom extorted by his kidnappers. One misstep will cancel the debt permanently.
What if he promises to make the risks you’ll take worth a small fortune? How long would you hesitate?
Already a killer at thirteen, Michael Romanov jumps at the opportunity to please his autocratic father. Attaining financial independence while indulging in deliberate depravity is an unexpected bonus.
This chilling psychological thriller paints a corrupt man’s twisted demands from a son obsessed with gaining a father’s love and respect.
4. The Reckless Year (2017)
A psychopath in love? Yes, and not with a vampire. Or a zombie. Or a misfit. But with a beautiful, smart, electrifying woman.
Uber-rich, psychopath and CEO Michael Romanov can imagine AnnaSophia as the mother of his children.
Warning: This is not your typical boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-wins-girl romance.
AnnaSophia bewitches Michael. But her loser boyfriend refuses to accept a bribe or succumb to threats to take a hike. Michael’s determination to possess her ratchets up. When lies and deceit and charisma fail to win AnnaSophia, he falls back on what he does best: Eliminate his opponent permanently. Without getting caught, of course.
Even a psychopath deserves a happy-ever-after ending.
5. The Dispensible Wife (2017)
Eyes are everywhere . . .
Look how powerbrokers in Hollywood, Washington, and Silicon Valley topple. Eyes somewhere saw their stupidity. From eyes to mouths to headlines.
When iconic Silicon Valley CEO Michael Romanov discovers his cheating wife flirting in public with an obvious loser, he tears her apart. But he slices and dices her with such civility none of the coffee drinkers notice. They’re too in awe of the legend’s presence.
One busybody, though, picks up immediately on his controlled fury. Sly as a fox, she begins to share her observations of AnnaSophia’s past trysts. She can’t believe that the “older gentleman” so often with AnnaSophia isn’t her husband. The more the witness divulges, the more she proclaims her discretion. Ready to explode, Michael sets a trap she walks into. That trap will render her permanently discreet.
Three children. An ailing father. No friends. No money. No work history for the past fifteen years.
Despair keeps AnnaSophia shackled to a charismatic wolf in designer clothing. She has no hope to escape his hold. In a divorce, he’ll take the kids and let her father die. Every day, she lives in dread of igniting Michael’s short fuse. But he exacts a surprisingly mild payback for that one mistake of acting normal.
Then, she learns of the murder of the girl in the coffee shop . . .
6. The Broken-Hearted Many (2018)
A dead man’s evil lives on …
After a nasty mother-teenage daughter argument, AnnaSophia Romanov discovers her defiant daughter in bed with a stranger.
Fodder for the sleazeratti. Hell for Alexandra’s younger brother and sister. They’re still coping with the aftermath of their psychopathic father’s brutal, unsolved murder.
Desperate, AnnaSophia calls the last person she should ask for help. The tabloids claim ex-cop Satish Patel abetted her in her husband’s murder. He reluctantly agrees to deal with the deviant in Alexandra’s bed. But then, AnnaSophia makes a disastrous decision …
That decision uncovers a lifetime of lies, deceits, and secrets that threaten to destroy her entire family.
7. The Whole Truth (2018)
An eye for an eye.
A child for a child.
Three children for an only son.
Watch AnnaSophia come undone.
Not all monsters win when they come out from under the bed. AnnaSophia Romanov survives fifteen lonely years of psychological abuse married to a psychopath. Handsome. Uber-wealthy. Powerful. Charismatic. A psychopath.
After his brutal murder—still unsolved three years later—AnnaSophia thinks she’s helped their three children heal. Until … her oldest daughter uncovers her father’s most heinous atrocity.
Suddenly, AnnaSophia’s carefully re-envisioned life falls apart. She pulls a trigger in defense of her family. The police close the case as an accident. But …
Past and present collide when the serial killer who has a long, complicated history with her husband demands payback—her children’s lives for his son’s murder.
Two combative men wait on her doorstep to help, but both have their own questionable agendas. The prospect of killing the two delights the killer—almost as much as piling more guilt on AnnaSophia’s plate.
