The Note

release date: Dec 02, 2025
The Note
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER • AS RECOMMENDED ON THE TODAY SHOW AND CBS SUNDAY MORNING • A suspenseful story about a vacation in the Hamptons that goes terribly wrong for three friends with a complicated history • From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wife and The Better Sister (now a Prime Video TV series starring Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Biel) "Your perfect summer thriller is here already." —Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post “I absolutely loved The Note. Trust no one in this irresistible page-turner.” —Ashley Elston, #1 New York Times best-selling author of First Lie Wins It was meant to be a harmless prank. Growing up, May Hanover was a good girl, always. Well-behaved, top of her class, a compulsive rule-follower. Raised by a first-generation Chinese single mother with high expectations, May didn’t have room to slip up, let alone fail. Her friends didn’t call her the Little Sheriff for nothing. But even good girls have secrets. And regrets. When it comes to her friendship with Lauren and Kelsey, she's had her fair share of both. Their bond—forged when May was just twelve years old—has withstood a tragic accident, individual scandals, heartbreak and loss. Now the three friends have reunited for the first time in years for a few days of sun and fun in the Hamptons. But a chance encounter with a pair of strangers leads to a drunken prank that goes horribly awry. When she finds herself at the center of an urgent police investigation, May begins to wonder whether Lauren and Kelsey are keeping secrets from her, testing the limits of her loyalty to lifelong friends. What had they gone and done? The Note is a page-turner of the highest order from one of our greatest contemporary suspense writers.

L'altro fratello
Simon ed Ethan sono fratelli gemelli identici, affascinanti, intelligenti e popolari: perfetti, almeno in apparenza. Tutto cambia in una scioccante notte d'estate, quando, durante la festa di laurea, i genitori vengono uccisi a sangue freddo e i sospetti cadono su di loro: ma chi dei due era davvero presente sulla scena del crimine? E se, in realtà, avessero pianificato insieme il delitto perfetto? Dieci anni dopo, il mistero è ancora irrisolto. Simon ed Ethan, ormai lontani e divisi da vite apparentemente tranquille - entrambi sposati e con figli, ma segnati da rancori mai sopiti - continuano ad accusarsi a vicenda dell'omicidio, ciascuno deciso a dimostrare la propria innocenza a discapito dell'altro. Per riaprire il caso, Frankie, loro sorella minore, si rivolge alla produttrice televisiva Laurie Moran e al suo team. Ma man mano che la troupe di Under Suspicion indaga e si avvicina alla verità, ombre che sembravano dissolte nel passato tornano a farsi strada, più minacciose e pericolose che mai.

In Vind mij van New York Times-bestsellerauteur Alafair Burke is het vijftien jaar geleden dat Hope Miller in een klein dorpje in New Jersey werd aangetroffen in een autowrak. Door haar geheugenverlies heeft ze vandaag de dag nog steeds geen idee wie ze is, wat haar echte naam is óf waar ze vandaan komt. De dokters verzekerden haar dat haar geheugen wel terug zou komen, maar terwijl Hope in New Jersey een leven voor zichzelf probeerde op te bouwen, bleven haar herinneringen angstvallig stil. Nu wil ze de staat alsnog verlaten, maar haar advocaat en beste vriendin Lindsay Kelly ziet de verhuizing naar East Hampton niet zitten. Lindsays angsten blijken terecht: opnieuw verdwijnt Hope als sneeuw voor de zon. De enige aanwijzing is een druppel bloed op de plek van verdwijning... en die matcht met een beruchte seriemoordenaar. Lindsay zal met detective Ellie Hatcher alles op alles moeten zetten om de spoorloze Hope terug te vinden, maar dan ontrafelen ze een bloedstollend complot waarin niets is wat het lijkt...

Se mi troverai
«Sono un fan di Alafair Burke fin dall'inizio della sua carriera, eppure, a ogni romanzo, riesce sempre a sorprendermi.» - MICHAEL CONNELLY - Si fa chiamare Hope Miller, ma non ha idea di chi sia in realtà. È successo tutto quindici anni fa. Un incidente d'auto. Il trauma cranico che le ha fatto perdere la memoria. Anni di vita cancellati. Trovata senza documenti, e soprattutto senza ricordi, Hope ha dovuto iniziare da capo: nuovo nome, nuova città, nuova vita. Senza mai smettere di chiedersi che cosa si stesse lasciando alle spalle... o da cosa stesse scappando. Non ce l'avrebbe fatta, però, a ricominciare senza Lindsay. Lindsay Kelly, avvocato, è la persona che l'ha soccorsa dopo l'incidente: per Hope un angelo custode, l'unica certezza in un mondo che aveva smesso di esserle amico. Ma adesso Hope ha deciso: è arrivato il momento di vivere la sua nuova vita da sola. Si trasferisce agli Hamptons. Ha trovato un lavoro, sembra, una sistemazione, è pronta. Ma quando, poco dopo, smette di rispondere al telefono e di dare sue notizie, Lindsay capisce che qualcosa non quadra. Ben presto, Hope diventa introvabile; l'unica traccia che sembra essersi lasciata indietro è una goccia di sangue... E quella goccia di sangue, grazie all'analisi del DNA, riporta Lindsay a qualcosa che risale a molti anni prima: il caso terribile dello strangolatore di College Hill, che sembrava chiuso ormai da tempo. E quando si parla di quello spietato serial killer c'e una sola persona che può aiutarla: si chiama Ellie Hatcher e lo strangolatore di College Hill le ha rovinato la vita. E forse, adesso, grazie a Hope, per Ellie è arrivato il momento di mettere la parola fine a quella storia. Alafair Burke torna con Ellie Hatcher, una delle sue protagoniste più amate, e ci regala un formidabile trio di donne in cerca della verità.

Find Me
“Alafair Burke's latest propulsive thrill-ride is a suspenseful, twisty mystery about memory, friendship and secrets. A page-turner of the highest order.” -Laura Dave, author of The Last Thing He Told Me The disappearance of a young woman leaves her best friend reeling and an NYPD homicide detective digging into her own past in this twisty mystery about the power of female friendships. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Better Sister and The Wife. Some pasts won’t stay forgotten . . . She calls herself Hope Miller, but she has no idea who she actually is. Fifteen years ago, she was found in a small New Jersey town thrown from an overturned vehicle, with no clue to her identity. Doctors assumed her amnesia was a temporary side effect of her injuries, but she never regained her memory. Hope eventually started a new life with a new name in a new town that welcomed her, yet always wondered what she may have left behind—or been running from. Now, she’s leaving New Jersey to start over once again. Manhattan defense lawyer Lindsay Kelly, Hope’s best friend and the one who found her after the accident, understands why Hope wants a new beginning. But she worries how her friend will fare in her new East Hampton home, far away from everything familiar. Lindsay’s worst fears are confirmed when she discovers Hope has vanished without a trace—the only lead a drop of blood found where she was last seen. Even more ominously, the blood matches a DNA sample with a connection to a notorious Kansas murderer. With nowhere else to turn, Lindsay calls NYPD homicide detective Ellie Hatcher, the daughter of the cop who dedicated his life to hunting the Kansas killer. Ellie has always believed there was more to the story of her father’s death twenty years earlier—and she now fears that Hope’s recent disappearance could be related. In pursuit of answers, the women search for the truth beneath long-buried secrets. And when their searches converge, what they find will upend everything they’ve ever known.

You Don't Own Me
“Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke are back with their fifth enthralling mystery in the New York Times bestselling Under Suspicion series; You Don’t Own Me finds television producer Laurie Moran stopping at nothing to solve the murder of a celebrity doctor—even as she finds herself in grave danger as a mysterious stalker plots his next move. When we last saw Laurie Moran, she had recently become engaged to her show’s former host, Alex Buckley. Since then, the two have been happily planning a summer wedding and honeymoon, preparing for Alex’s confirmation to a federal judicial appointment, and searching for the perfect New York City home for their new life together. But then Laurie is approached by Robert and Cynthia Bell, parents of Dr. Martin Bell, a famously charming and talented physician who was shot dead as he pulled into the driveway of his Greenwich Village carriage house five years ago. The Bells are sure that Martin’s disgraced and erratic wife, Kendra, carried out the murder. Determined to prove Kendra’s guilt and win custody over their grandchildren, they plead with Laurie to feature their son’s case on “Under Suspicion,” ensuring her that Kendra is willing to cooperate. Kendra has lived under a blanket of suspicion since Martin’s death, with the tabloid media depicting her as a secretive, mentally unstable gold-digger. Laurie’s show is a chance for her to clear her name. But unbeknownst to the Bells, Kendra has already refused once before to go forward with a re-investigation of her husband’s murder, and her statements to the contrary only add to the appearance of guilt. But once Laurie dives into the case, she learns that Martin wasn’t the picture-perfect husband, father, and doctor he appeared to be and was carrying secrets of his own. And what does the web of lies ensnaring the Bell family have to do with a dangerous stranger, who gazes at Laurie from afar and thinks, She is actually quite a lovely girl, I’m sure she’s going to be missed…? You Don’t Own Me is the perfect, exhilarating follow up to the bestselling Every Breath You Take. The “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and her dazzling partner-in-crime Alafair Burke have devised another riveting page-turner.

Snow White, Deadly Night
Laurie Moran's professional life is a success--her television show Under Suspicion is a hit, both in the ratings and its record of solving cold cases. But her romantic break from former host Alex Buckley has left her with on-air talent she can't stand--Ryan Nichols--and a sense of loneliness, despite her loving family. Now Ryan has suggested a new case. Three years ago, Virginia Wakeling, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and one of the museum's most generous donors, was found in the snow, after being thrown from the museum's roof on the night of its most celebrated fundraiser, the Met Gala. The leading suspect then and now is her much younger boyfriend and personal trainer, Ivan Gray. Ivan runs a trendy, successful boutique gym called Punch--a business funded in no small part by the late Virginia--which happens to be the gym Ryan frequents. Laurie's skepticism about the case is upended by a tip from her father's NYPD connection, and soon Laurie realizes there are a bevy of suspects--including Virginia's trusted inner circle. As the Under Suspicion crew pries into the lives of a super wealthy real estate family with secrets to hide, danger mounts for several witnesses--and for Laurie.

The Wife
“This might be the most gripping, insightful work from the best-selling author Alafair Burke yet. She poses a seemingly impossible, if undeniably compelling, challenge: a woman must either save her life or defend her husband, but not both.” — Entertainment Weekly From New York Times bestselling author Alafair Burke, a stunning domestic thriller in the vein of Behind Closed Doors and The Woman in Cabin 10—in which a woman must make the impossible choice between defending her husband and saving herself. His Scandal - Her Secret When Angela met Jason Powell while catering a dinner party in East Hampton, she assumed their romance would be a short-lived fling, like so many relationships between locals and summer visitors. To her surprise, Jason, a brilliant economics professor at NYU, had other plans, and they married the following summer. For Angela, the marriage turned out to be a chance to reboot her life. She and her son were finally able to move out of her mother’s home to Manhattan, where no one knew about her tragic past. Six years later, thanks to a bestselling book and a growing media career, Jason has become a cultural lightning rod, placing Angela near the spotlight she worked so carefully to avoid. When a college intern makes an accusation against Jason, and another woman, Kerry Lynch, comes forward with an even more troubling allegation, their life begins to unravel. Jason insists he is innocent, and Angela believes him. But when Kerry disappears, Angela is forced to take a closer look—at both the man she married and the women she chose not to believe. This much-anticipated follow-up to Burke’s Edgar-nominated The Ex asks how far a wife will go to protect the man she loves.

Elle découvre vite que Virginia était une femme très courtisée : un petit ami nettement plus jeune qu'elle, désigné à l'époque comme le principal suspect, mais également nombreuses de personnalités en vue - collectionneurs, promoteurs immobiliers, entrepreneurs... - avaient noué avec elle d'étroites relations. Tous étaient présents lors de la célèbre soirée caritative. Mais qui aurait eu intérêt à se débarrasser de Virginia ? Après Le Piège de la Belle au bois dormant, la nouvelle enquête à haut risque de Laurie Moran, aux prises avec l'univers à la fois frivole et impitoyable de la jet-set new-yorkaise.
