The Elle Harrison Collection

A deadly darkness lurks beneath the surface of everyday life.

Elle Harrison, a fourth-grade teacher, finds her seemingly ordinary world shattered by her husband's infidelity and a series of increasingly sinister events. This collection brings together three gripping novels where Elle's life is upended by murder and mystery. In The Trouble with Charlie, her soon-to-be ex-husband is found stabbed to death, leaving Elle to question her own sanity. Elective Procedures sees her attending a cosmetic surgery retreat, only to become a magnet for unexplained deaths. And in Child's Play, Elle discovers her school principal murdered, setting off a chain of deadly events.


Through it all, Elle's indomitable spirit and the unwavering support of her friends guide her as she grapples with a dissociative disorder that blurs the line between reality and illusion. As Elle challenges her deepest convictions about guilt, innocence, childhood, and family, she is pushed to her limits in a deadly fight to save her sanity—and her life. Perfect for readers who enjoy suspenseful mysteries with strong female leads and complex characters.
