  • [A] gripping psychological thriller from Edgar winner Gaylin… A breathtaking twist will catch readers by surprise. This tale of justice without mercy is a page-turner.

    Publishers Weekly
  • Fans of dark psychological suspense will be unable to put this one down.

    Booklist
  • A layered, engrossing and nerve shattering thriller.

    Lisa Unger
  • Alison Gaylin’s The Collective is an astonishing feat. In the tradition of Ira Levin’s unforgettable social thrillers (Rosemary’s Baby, Stepford Wives), it’s a nerve-shredding, emotionally harrowing ride that also speaks volumes about our current moment, the dangers of our digital world, the potency of female rage. Don’t miss it.
