Lots of News to Share!
Hello Family, Friends and Readers:
I write with sincere hopes that you and your loved ones remain safe and healthy during these difficult times. As we all continue to move forward with our lives the best we can, I want to share news of my latest thriller, DON'T LOOK FOR ME, and ask for your help in my effort to pull off my first ever “virtual” book launch!
DON'T LOOK FOR ME officially comes out on September 15th. It’s already been named a must-read thriller by Amazon, and LibraryReads has honored me with Hall of Fame status! Normally, I would have a big party and then hit the road to visit bookstores and libraries across the country. The early sales that these events generate are what help authors make those important bestseller lists and keep bookstores thriving. All of that has changed during the global pandemic.
Here’s how you can help!
Because all sales made prior to and during the first week of a book’s release are so incredibly important, you can order now! And if you order from your favorite bookstores, they will have plenty of time to fulfill the order and get it in the mail to you or have it waiting for you curbside! Here are some links to order your copy.
Order Don't Look for Me
If you live near me in Fairfield County, CT, consider ordering from one of our local stores where you can even get a signed copy!
You can also tune in to one of my virtual events where I will be “in conversation” with many of your favorite authors. The schedule is below.
Your support is greatly appreciated!
And now – here’s everything you need to know about DON’T LOOK FOR ME.

About Don't Look for Me
The greatest risk isn't running away.
It's running out of time.
They called it a “walk away.” The car abandoned miles from home. The note found at a nearby hotel. The shattered family. It happens all the time. Women disappear, desperate to start over. But what really happened to Molly Clarke?
When a new lead comes in two weeks after the search has ended, Molly’s daughter, Nicole, begins to wonder. In spite of their strained relationship and the tragedy that rocked their world, nothing about her mother’s disappearance makes sense.
Against her father’s wishes, Nicole returns to the small, desolate town where her mother was last seen, determined to find the truth. The locals are sympathetic and eager to help. The innkeeper. The bartender. Even the police. Until secrets begin to reveal themselves. When Nicole learns about another woman who vanished from town, then discovers a small hole cut into a fence guarding a mysterious, secluded property, she comes closer to the truth about that night — and the danger surrounding her.
The night Molly disappeared began with a storm, running out of gas, and a man in a truck offering her a ride to town. With him is a little girl who reminds her of the daughter she lost years ago. It feels like a sign. It feels safe. And Molly is overcome with the desire to be home, with her family — no matter how broken it is. She accepts the ride. But when the doors lock shut, Molly begins to suspect she has made a terrible mistake.
Praise for Don't Look for Me
LibraryReads Hall of Fame Selection
Amazon: Fall’s Must-Read Mystery/Thrillers
“DISTINCTIVE, WELL-DEVELOPED CHARACTERS COMPLEMENT THE SKILLFULLY PACED PLOT. This moving look at the bond between a mother and her children reinforces Walker’s place at the top of the genre.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“WENDY WALKER’S NOVELS ARE ADDICTIVE. Like, controlled-substance addictive. And Don’t Look for Me, a thriller as intense and relentless as the metallic rain slashing across its jacket, ranks as Walker’s reigning champ.”
—A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
“GRIPPING…WITH UNEXPECTED TWISTS…You’ve got a cracking mystery on your hands.”
—Adrian McKinty, New York Times bestselling author of The Chain
“A NAILBITER . . . SO MUCH MORE THAN A TWISTY THRILLER. It’s a heartbreaking portrait of a family coping with grief and an insightful study of guilt and blame, gaslighting and agency. If you love fast-paced page-turners with relatable, flawed characters, look no further!”
—Angie Kim, National Bestselling author of Miracle Creek
“SHARP, NUANCED, UTTERLY REAL, and ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING, this beautifully written and emotionally powerful novel is Walker at her best.”
—Karen Dionne, #1 International Bestselling author of The Marsh King’s Daughter
“UNSETTLING IN THE VERY BEST WAY and TRULY RIVETING.”
—Samantha Downing, #1 International Bestselling author of My Lovely Wife
“A PULSE-POUNDING, THRILL RIDE OF A NOVEL WITH HEART.”
—Kathleen Barber, National Bestselling author of Truth Be Told
“A MASTER CLASS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE.”
—Cristina Alger, New York Times Bestselling author of Girls Like Us
