Jessica Payne lives in Washington State with her daughter and husband and an internet search history that would raise eyebrows.

She is the creator of the Substack community One Tired Mother.

--Darby Kane, international bestselling author of Pretty Little Wife and Such a Clever Girl

"Wicked-smart and endlessly entertaining, Somebody Worth Killing takes a magnifying glass to the double-life motherhood often splits women into--and then takes it a thrilling, action-packed leap further. Suburban life never looked so dangerous."

"One of the best thrillers I've read this year... Fans of Mr. and Mrs. Smith will adore the cat and mouse game between the sociopathic wife and her unsuspecting husband. All I ask is to be first in line to read the next one!"
--Jenna Satterthwaite, author of The New Year's Party

"This is a unique, fun novel. It starts off fast and never lets up. A perfect summer beach read. Here's hoping for more adventures with Nadia Davis."

"The perfect escape read that packs a serious punch, just like its heroine assassin, Nadia Davis. Wickedly clever, fun, and fast paced, SOMEBODY WORTH KILLING is poised to be unstoppable. I couldn't put it down!"
