The New York Times names Dead Money one of the best thrillers of 2025

Some very exciting news today: the New York Times has named Dead Money one of the best thriller novels of the year so far! Read the whole list here. It feels incredibly surreal—especially as the only debut author to appear on the list.

For today's column the NYTBR's Sarah Lyall cribs from her terrific February review of Dead Money: "Appears to be a traditional whodunit but is really an unpredictable nesting-box of surprises. Kerr . . . brings an insider’s knowledge and a satirist’s sensibility to the vanities and delusions of Silicon Valley."

Thanks for your continuing support of Dead Money. More to come!
