Testimonials
“Is anything more dangerous than a fragile male ego?”
—The New York Times
“Nervewrackingly fun.”
—Vogue, Best Books of the Year So Far
“Wayne, perhaps no surprise, is an expert guide into the complex psyche of an author. He is also a deft social satirist, no more so than when skewering his characters’ politically correct pretensions.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“Wickedly entertaining…Wayne is devilishly sharp in how he explores the gap between Steven’s preening self-image and the insecurities, delusions, and plain bad choices underneath. And the way we’re constantly second-guessing Astrid’s motivations transforms The Au Pair into a genuinely suspenseful puzzle.”
—Apple Books, Best Books of the Month
“Wayne is not upending noir so much as paying a sneaky contemporary homage. You’ll toss it across the room in maddening disbelief, then quickly pick it up and keep reading.”
—Chicago Tribune
“[A] tightly constructed, endlessly fascinating thriller.”
—Town & Country
“Subtly subversive, thoroughly enjoyable.”
—Air Mail
“A heart-pounding mystery that reads like a movie.”
—People
“The reigning king of taut literary novels…Wayne knows how to write about men in a way that few modern writers are capable of pulling off…this is one you won’t be able to put down.”
—Men’s Journal
