Every Vow You Break

Every Vow You Break by Peter Swanson

Abigail Baskin never thought she would fall in love with a millionaire. Then she met Bruce Lamb. He’s a good guy, stable, level-headed, kind—a refreshing change from her previous relationships.

But right before the wedding, Abigail has a drunken one-night stand on her bachelorette weekend. She puts the incident—and the sexy guy who wouldn’t give her his real name—out of her mind, and now believes she wants to be with Bruce for the rest of her life. Their honeymoon on a luxurious, secluded island will be the beginning of their blissful lives together.

Then the mysterious stranger suddenly appears—and Abigail’s future life and happiness are turned upside down. He insists that their passionate night was the beginning of something much, much more. Something special. Something real—and he’s tracked her down to prove it.

Does she tell Bruce and ruin their idyllic honeymoon—and possibly their marriage? Or should she handle this psychopathic stalker on her own? To make the situation worse, strange things begin to happen. She sees a terrified woman in the shadows one night, and no one at the resort seems to believe anything is amiss… including her perfect new husband.

Peter Swanson

It’s not every day a crime writer dares to peel back the tidy edges of the mystery genre, but Peter Swanson has made a career of doing just that—inviting readers into stories where the comfort of predictability is always just one twist away from unraveling. Known for psychological thrillers that relish in the sinister potential of the everyday, Swanson doesn't just craft plots—he toys with expectation, layering deceit, obsession, and dread into tales that feel disarmingly plausible.

Before he was unsettling readers with novels like The Kind Worth Killing and Eight Perfect Murders, Swanson was a Massachusetts native who found his footing in poetry and short fiction. That early affinity for rhythm and brevity still lingers in his prose—tight, spare, and loaded with tension. His stories are often set in deceptively quiet New England settings, where suburban normalcy cracks to reveal something far darker underneath.

What sets Swanson apart in the crowded world of psychological suspense isn’t just his knack for plot twists—though readers know better than to trust anything at face value in his books. It’s his fascination with the psychology of murder, and the slippery moral territory that lies between justice and revenge. In The Kind Worth Killing, he invites readers into the minds of would-be killers and dares them to empathize. In Before She Knew Him, he examines obsession and complicity through an unsettlingly intimate lens.

A lifelong admirer of Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith, Swanson brings a cinematic elegance to his storytelling. His thrillers are taut without being breathless, clever without showboating, and always driven by deeply flawed, often unreliable characters. That might be why his work has found fans around the globe—and why Eight Perfect Murders was chosen as a New York Times bestseller and earned widespread critical praise for its metafictional take on classic crime fiction.

Swanson’s writing journey is marked not by a desire to outsmart the reader, but by an interest in how we read stories, how we trust narrators, and how easily truth can be buried beneath well-constructed lies. It’s that subversion—not just of the whodunit, but of why we care in the first place—that keeps readers hooked, and perhaps, a little uneasy long after they’ve turned the final page.
