Krysten Ritter knows how to write a compelling antihero

Krysten Ritter captivates us from the start with her opening in her latest novel, drawing us further in. Based in Los Angeles, known for her role as Jessica Jones in the Marvel series, and also an author, Ritter follows up her 2017 release “Bonfire” with another suspenseful tale featuring a strong-willed, spirited female lead character. “Retreat” introduces us to Liz, a skilled con artist, but as the story progresses and Ritter adds layers of complexity, it evolves into a mystery that its unconventional heroine struggles desperately to solve.
