Woman on the Edge
by Bailey, Samantha M.
Morgan Fletcher is sitting on a commuter train when a stranger sitting across from her pushes a baby into her arms and jumps to her death on the tracks. This singular, jarring moment launches Morgan into a chaotic spiral where she is suddenly the primary suspect in a kidnapping case. The book moves at a frantic, breathless pace, trapping you in Morgan’s perspective as she tries to prove her innocence while everyone around her seems to be lying. It captures that specific, skin-crawling feeling of being watched and misunderstood, where the stakes are life-or-death and no one is quite who they claim to be. If you enjoy domestic thrillers that prioritize visceral anxiety and psychological puzzles over slow-burn character studies, this will keep you awake well past your bedtime.
