“Three is an outstanding thriller. From the first page, Mishani’s addictive prose begins its work, drawing you into a devious plot where life, fate, and murder intertwine.” — Olivia Kiernan, author of Too Close to Breathe

When Orna meets Gil on an online dating site, their lackluster affair seems like nothing more than a way to stave off the pain of her recent divorce. But soon it becomes clear that Gil may not be exactly who he claims. And Orna’s own lies may be weaving an unexpected trap for her.

Set against the backdrop of the gritty suburbs of Tel Aviv, Three is a slow-burning psychological thriller from the internationally celebrated master of crime and suspense D. A. Mishani.

Three is a mesmerizing psychological thriller whose violence comes to feel inevitable, but that also sparks hope for retribution.

Foreword Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

Truly thought-provoking and emotionally challenging … A masterclass.

Crime Time

Mishani displays a superior gift for psychological suspense in this taut and twisty standalone.

Publishers Weekly

[A] thoughtful puzzle mystery … Mishani has constructed the plot as a psychological thriller, a conventional format in any language, but the story has a lot more to say for itself. To be sure, there are scenes of genuine terror … But there are also surprising plot twists and smart character insights, not to mention some terrific Tel Aviv street scenes.
