Description

Love ties. Murder binds.

Maggie never felt as though she belonged until Chris Stevens showed her what true happiness meant. Ten years into their marriage, miscarriages and infidelities have scarred them both. Despite their perfect-couple image, Maggie can’t look at Chris with anything but resentment. When a charismatic stranger offers the opportunity for a little harmless flirtation, she jumps into the game.

But charm soon turns to malice, and a deadly split-second decision forces Maggie and Chris onto a dangerous path fraught with secrets, lies, and guilt. With no one else to turn to—no one she dares trust—Maggie will ultimately learn just how binding marital ties can be.

Advance Praise

"[Moretti] vividly portrays the sharp sting of infidelity, the abiding ache of infertility and the amorphous discontent of a love past its luster--all while moving the murder investigation swiftly forward. The foreshadowing is so skillful that plot twists feel surprising yet somehow inevitable. Other subtle touches (such as Maggie's cracking the skull of the intruder with a Lenox vase, a wedding present) will further enhance readers' pleasure. The dialogue is natural and authentic, and the story builds steadily to a satisfying, emotionally resonant conclusion. A gripping, psychologically nuanced thriller set along the fault lines of a marriage" -- Kirkus Reviews

"Binds That Tie is an example of a psychological thriller done right. I was completely hooked from the first pages until the shocking finale. This a book that shows what happens when a once happy marriage goes sour... If you are a fan of books like Gone Girl, I would highly recommend this title." -- Rainy Day Ramblings

"The story has suspense from cover to cover. The pacing is perfect...Moretti creates a unique story and writes it well. It doesn't get any better than that." -- Every Free Chance Books

"Binds that Tie has one of the most powerful storylines that I have read in a very long time." -- A Novel Review"Kate Moretti's second book is as engaging as her first, but she has upped the ante in this thriller with a taut, repeatedly surprising plot that ranges from a midnight body disposal to courtroom drama. Moretti positions herself with Gillian Flynn, ASA Harrison, and Heather Gudenkauf as a first-rate author of both convincing relationship drama and page-turning suspense." -- Elizabeth Buhmann, bestselling author of Lay Death At Her Door
