El Dorado Drive

El Dorado Drive by Megan Abbott

El Dorado Drive by Megan Abbott is a simmering, twist-filled novel of sisterhood, betrayal, and ambition, set in the affluent but fading suburbs of Detroit. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Turnout comes a riveting exploration of female power, financial desperation, and the dark allure of a pyramid scheme.

Named a Best Book of Summer by The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, and CrimeReads, this psychological thriller dives deep into the lives of the Bishop sisters—Harper, Pam, and Debra—as they attempt to reclaim control in a world that has slowly slipped away from them.

When Harper, struggling to make ends meet, is invited by her sisters to join The Wheel—a secretive, women-led financial circle promising empowerment and independence—she sees a path toward hope. But what begins as a bold solution quickly unravels into something far more sinister. As the stakes rise, long-buried family tensions surface, leading to a shocking act that could destroy everything.

Dark, emotionally rich, and razor-sharp, El Dorado Drive is a masterful suspense novel about greed, loyalty, and the twisted lengths people will go to survive.
