The scenery is gorgeous, the relationships are a disaster, and everyone could probably use a long nap and a TED Talk on boundaries. Welcome to The Plunge.
Cork O’Connor heads into the Boundary Waters for what should be a family trip, but instead finds missing friends, dangerous men, and questions about the difference between justice and revenge. Relaxing vacations are not...
A missing family, a mansion turned local legend, and one of the vanished daughters strolling back into town fifteen years later. Such a Clever Girl has a genuinely creepy hook; it takes way too long to pay off.
The Good Daughter had me turning pages and second-guessing every single character. Now Peacock’s adaptation is bringing all that buried trauma, family tension, and danger to the screen. Watch the new trailer.

A perfect Beverly Hills marriage, a dead first wife, and one very suspicious housewife. I thought I knew where The Housewife was going, but this twisty domestic thriller had other plans.
A luxury influencer yacht, a billionaire boss, and a hurricane trapping everyone at sea? The Last Time We Drowned turns curated paradise into a claustrophobic nightmare with better lighting.
Competitive chess has never felt this scandalous. Checkmate turns ambition, ego, and one explosive cheating accusation into a nonfiction thriller that’s nearly impossible to put down.
The new trailer for The End of Oak Street starts with a neighborhood mystery and ends with a survival problem most HOAs are not equipped to handle. Watch now!
A first look at The Housemaid trailer, with Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney bringing Freida McFadden’s hit thriller to the screen. Over the last couple of years, I’ve blown through Freida McFadden’s books. Well, most...
