Beyond excited to welcome back Karen Winn—my fellow Boston gal—for her latest twisty, suspenseful thriller, The Society. Set in historic Beacon Hill, the novel follows two compelling leading ladies whose stories converge within a secret society where mystery and intrigue aren’t just encouraged—they’re required for membership.

This is a book only Karen could write. A true Boston expert, she masterfully uses location and setting as characters themselves—even giving one of the story’s key buildings its own voice. Smart, clever, and undeniably cool, The Societyis the kind of atmospheric thriller you’ll want to devour on a moody winter night.

Karen and I chatted all about sophomore writing, the fascinating research behind the book, and what she’s working on next. We had an absolute blast celebrating this chilling, unforgettable read.
