Amy explores two darker novels that are not exactly thrillers or are they? The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz is the story of a washed up academic who steals a student's story.  One of the most hyped books of this past summer, this novel takes plenty of twists and turns and explores the question of who owns a story. When the Stars Go Dark by Paula McLain follows troubled missing person's detective Anna Hart as she reckons with her past and tries to solve the case of several missing girls in Northern California. Paula, best known for the historical novel The Paris Wife,  draws upon her own history to create this moody and atmospheric book.
