Served Him Right

Today is the day that I get to share SERVED HIM RIGHT with all of you! It’s such a winding, twisty journey from the germ of an idea to the excitement of publication day. And you are with me all the way.

And now the book is yours!

It’s mine while I’m writing, editing, rewriting but then it goes out into the world and hopefully finds its way into your hands. Then the story belongs to my readers. And that is such a beautiful thing!

Visit your favorite bookstore today, or come out and see me on the road, and grab your copy! And THANK YOU for welcoming my stories and characters into your hearts and minds. And thank you, as always, for reading!

“Breaking up isn’t just hard to do—it can be fatal. Unger keeps the suspense in high gear, skillfully swinging among several vividly portrayed first-person narrators... Sisterhood is powerful in surprising ways in this twisty, satisfying thriller.”
—Kirkus starred review

“Unger’s latest mystery is an exploration of the patriarchy through the lens of female rage, with some witchy vibes added for extra fun. The combination of revenge, generational trauma, and girl power makes this a fun and twisted tale. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena—and angry women everywhere.”
—Booklist

“Nobody writes psychological thrillers better than Lisa Unger and the reasons why are all on display in her latest deviously dark tale Served Him Right, which finds Unger at her twisty-turny best.”
—Jon Land, BookTrib

“A twisty and pacy thriller told through multiple points of view, Served Him Right reveals that betrayal is the most bitter poison of all.”
—Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid series

“A break-up brunch goes terribly wrong in this deliciously twisted tale of revenge. The fast-paced plot pulled me in and the tangle of secrets and lies kept me guessing until the very end! Lisa Unger always delivers.”
—Ashley Elston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins

“Only Lisa Unger could turn a breakup brunch into a ticking time bomb. Deliciously wicked, with a slow drip of dread that builds to a boil, Served Him Right is darkly funny, deliciously twisted, and entirely addictive. I devoured it.”
—Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author

“Served Him Right is a page-turner starring complex characters that you love and hate. Does this story offer an incredible plot, unrelenting twists—of course! This IS a Lisa Unger story, after all. But as I gasped, ‘OMFG’ over and over again, and flipped pages with wide eyes, I learned the best kinds of dangerous stuff! I absolutely devoured this book.”
—Rachel Howzell Hall, New York Times bestselling author
