A Goodreads Readers' most anticipated mystery of 2022.

"Masterfully plotted, The Accomplice is both a keep-you-guessing mystery—like, seriously, I didn’t see any of it coming—and a keenly and tenderly observed character study and portrait of a beautiful friendship complicated by a strange body count that keeps growing around them. I was rooting for Owen and Luna, but murder has a way of testing the bounds of even the tightest of best friends ." —Attica Locke, author of Bluebird, Bluebird and Heaven, My Home

"There’s no one in crime fiction more inventive than Lisa Lutz, and The Accomplice is her greatest sleight of hand yet. Wry and menacing, with the gravity-defying grace of a skipped stone, The Accomplice is at once a suspenseful thrill ride, a deep and disquieting meditation on friendship, and a Wes Anderson comedy rolled into one. After this, I’d read her grocery list ." —Amy Gentry, bestselling author of Good As Gone and Bad Habits

"An atmospheric, well-plotted, and brilliantly narrated story, which is at once mysterious, suspenseful, and witty." –Booklist (starred review)
