The Bottom Line: Voted the year’s best political thriller in the 2024 BestThrillers.com Awards.
M.K. Tod’s award-winning debut novel is about far more than the pursuit of revenge.
Set in the world of high-stakes state politics, Tod’s world reveals a political machine that is disturbingly recognizable, and yet far enough removed from actual headlines to act as a bonafide escape.
Andrea Larson never imagined she would have to face her worst nightmare again.
But when she discovers that her rapist is running for Governor of Massachusetts, she knows she can’t stay silent.
With the help of her identical twin, Andrea hatches a plan to take down Brad Greiner and expose his true nature to the world.
That Was Then follows Andrea as she infiltrates Greiner’s inner circle, using her skills as a journalist to gather evidence against him.
But the closer she gets, the more dangerous it becomes.
The stakes get even higher when a group intent on controlling American democracy gets involved.
Someone knows what the twins are up to. And they’re closing in.
