Excerpt from the book:
“Why Mr Policeman, how nice of you to visit me, why do people like you interfere so much,” she said as her voice went into child-like chatter, and her face twisted with anger. Why do people like you interfere?”

The Girl Who Can Cook by Mike Wehner

She killed my best friend. Shame on me.
She lied and said it was self-defense. Shame on me.
She wrote a book about it. Shame on you.
It's been three years since chef Erin shot her boyfriend, John, five times during a domestic dispute. Two years since she was found not guilty on murder charges by way of self-defense. And one year since she opened Essen, a German restaurant in San Francisco's East Bay. You can read all about it in her memoir; there's a copy on the front seat of the car parked in front of Essen. The man in the driver's seat was John's best friend, Alex, a former engineer. He’s abandoned his career to take justice into his own hands, what he doesn't know is that soon he'll be inside, using those hands to peel carrots for the girl who can cook.
We don't want to trick you into buying this book with the truncated spin of words above. If the cover caught your eye and you enjoy psychological or dark romantic thrillers then please click "look inside" and judge the quality of writing for yourself.
This is Mike's debut novel and he's an unknown author. There aren't any quotes from famous friends. The New York Times won't return our calls, but we promise you, this book is worth your time and your money. It’s about all of us. It's about ramen noodles. And impractical love. And loss. And the way we each carry our past in different ways. Its got an amazing head-strong female lead and an inventive emotional arc that is unlike anything in the genre but with all the hallmarks of a classic psychological thriller. Let us be very clear: this book is dark and brutal but it's also VERY, VERY funny. We hope you love it.

The Unraveling of Brendan Meeks by Brian Cohn

THE UNRAVELING OF BRENDAN MEEKS is a first-person glimpse into the mind of a young man with schizophrenia as he deals with tragic loss. The result is a unique and unforgettable mystery clouded with hallucinations and fraught by paranoia.
Meeks is a young man born with a silver spoon jammed down his throat, a fact his domineering mother has never let him forget. Although he has nearly everything he could ever want—friends, money, a good education—Brendan's life falls apart during graduate school when he begins to show signs of schizophrenia. Forced to drop out of school, he watches most of his friends disappear and his parents distance themselves further and further.
The only constant left in Brendan’s life is his loving sister, Wendy. When she turns up dead, he must ignore the insults and threats from the voices in his head to begin his own investigation. With the help of an odd assemblage of his few friends—a drug dealer, a meth addict, and a war veteran with a bad case of agoraphobia—he begins to uncover a conspiracy that may, or may not, be a byproduct of his own delusional mind.
