A Good Idea by Cristina Moracho

Why you need it: Besides that eerie cover, you mean? A Good Idea is a dark thriller about a murder in a town where secrets abound, nothing is as it seems, and everyone has an agenda. You’d lose sleep over it if not for one thing: you’ll already be up all night turning pages to get to the ending.
