Overview

A Zibby's Most Anticipated Book of Fall 2025! From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Mitchard comes a page-turning drama that explores the beauty of female friendship; the relationship between money, power, and sex; and the very human desire to protect the ones we love most. When she is convicted of a double murder, Felicity Wild, a brilliant grad student turned high-priced escort, declares, ""I may not be innocent, but I'm innocent of this."" Reenie Bigelow never doubted it. A jury may have given Felicity a life sentence, but Reenie knows that her childhood best friend is not capable of murder. And so Reenie, a journalist, decides to use her deep connections to Felicity's past to unravel the truth. The more she uncovers, the more Reenie is convinced that the story the prosecution told is wrong, despite the puzzling fact that Felicity said not one single word in her own defense. But there's one thing Reenie knows for certain: Felicity would never lie.

Reviews

""A deliciously dark novel with the kind of distinctive narrative voice every writer hopes to achieve."" --Zibby Owens, bestselling author of Bookends ""THE BIRDWATCHER is special, pushing the limits of friendship in a story that's as satisfying as it is heartbreaking, a compelling and insightful novel that readers won't soon forget. I loved this book!"" --Karen Dionne, internationally bestselling author of The Marsh King's Daughter ""As taut, compelling and unnerving as it is witty and compassionate, The Birdwatcher is one hell of a mystery. Mitchard illuminates friendship, romance and family with a bright and even tender light."" --Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of In Bloom ""A suspenseful, twisty, and page-turning drama. Fans of Jacquelyn Mitchard are going to love this one."" --Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice
