From debut author Elle Grawl comes a psychological thriller about an insomniac artist who discovers a shocking truth about a recent spate of murders in her city: the victims all look just like her.

Years after escaping her abusive childhood, Harper Mallen has only ever known sleepless nights—or terrifying nightmares. She’s struggling to survive as an artist in a trendy Chicago neighborhood, getting by on freelance gigs, when she’s suddenly confronted with the worst fears from her past.

A young woman is killed outside Harper’s apartment—a woman who chillingly resembles her. As Harper searches for information about the victim, she discovers unsettling links to two other murders. Upon discovering another doppelgänger, Harper realizes her life is not the only one hanging in the balance.

As her obsession and paranoia deepen, everyone is a suspect: the handsome stranger in the café, customers at the painting studio, even the ghosts from her past. The closer she comes to unraveling the truth behind the murders, the more Harper realizes there is no one she can trust—not even herself.

Product description

From the Publisher

They say everyone has a doppelgänger somewhere in the world. What if you found yours on the day they were murdered?

In this haunting debut thriller, artist—and insomniac—Harper Mallen has been haunted by the memories of her identical twin and the traumatic accident that took her life years ago. Her face is inescapable in the mirror, in her dreams.

When a young woman is killed outside her apartment—a young woman who resembles Harper and her dead sister—it feels like her worst nightmare happening all over again.

Harper’s twisted story is a fast-paced and compelling page-turner that had me in knots trying to figure out what was real and what was a dreamscape. It left me hoping I meet my own doppelgänger under better circumstances...

—Liz Pearsons, Editor

Review

“What an insidious, creepy page-turner Elle Grawl has created! A completely assured debut that will send chills down your spine and keep you looking over your shoulder.” ―J. T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author

“One of Those Faces delivers an unreliable narrator whose paranoia is shaped by past trauma, a killer targeting women who look like her, and plenty of twists that tighten as the atmosphere closes in. This taut, chilling, page-turning psychological thriller is sure to put debut author Elle Grawl on the map.” ―Loreth Anne White, Washington Post, Amazon Charts, and Bild bestselling author of The Patient’s Secret

“Taut with suspense, One of Those Faces is a slow burn thriller that will make you deadbolt your door during the day. Grawl’s debut hypnotized me from start to finish.” ―Elle Marr, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Strangers We Know

“Make sure to clear your schedules, because One of Those Faces is such a wild and compelling ride you’re not going to be able to look away until the very last sentence. Grawl, with beautifully cinematic style, knocks you off balance until you feel like you’re slowly drowning in nightmares right alongside Harper, not knowing which way is up or what is true. Every time you catch your breath, another revelation pulls you under. This binge-worthy, trippy thriller should be at the top of everyone’s must-read list!” ―Brianna Labuskes, bestselling author of What Can’t Be Seen

“Perfectly paced and packed with doppelganger women and suspicious men, this creepy thriller kept me guessing all the way through! I was never sure who to trust, and I read it in a day!” ―Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver and the Swell

“Elle Grawl delivers on her irresistible premise with a story so full of mysteries and suspicious characters that your mind will spin trying to figure it all out. One of Those Faces is an eerie, page-turning thriller that leaves you increasingly unsettled with each new chapter.” ―Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot

“One of Those Faces kept me flipping pages in pursuit of answers well past my bedtime. An utterly satisfying rabbit hole…” ―Kathleen Willett, author of Mother of All Secrets --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Hard to Put Down

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

Colour me surprised that this was a first novel. It read like someone who has been writing for years. Incredibly well written and way too hard to put down once started. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that I had no idea where this would go. How things would play out in the end. Often times I can see things coming, but with this, especially given the ending, I didn't see any of it coming.

My only real complaint was the ending didn't quite feel like an ending. With what has taken place there was an opening for more. So less concrete than I would have liked but a great story overall.

Will definitely read more from this author in the future.

I would have given a higher rating but the ending ruined it for me. Too many unanswered questions. Very strange way to finish the story.

A Strong Debut Novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is apparently Elle Grawl’s first novel, but to be honest it feels like something written by a person who has written much more. Narrated by Harper Mallen, who is the main character here we read of her current life in Chicago (pre-Covid). Following her about and seeing how and what she does in her life, so as the tale progresses, we are taken back into her past.

Harper seems to have a problem as she has one of those faces that are quite familiar, and thus looks like some other women, which leads to confusion from a distance, and as here, she seems to have the same features as women who get killed in the city. This however is not a straight serial killer tale, and Harper is an illustrator and not on the police. So, what makes this stand out I hear you think. The reason is because this is rather ambiguous, thus making something a bit meatier and more interesting than the same old thing.

We read of our main character’s traumatic upbringing, and what happened to her sister, and we can see that this still affects her, what with bad dreams about her, and also others. With similar featured women to her winding up dead, who is behind it, and with the lapses in memory, the nightmares and so on, could Harper be the killer of some if not everyone who is affected in this tale? There could be other people involved, but we are given something of a wild goose chase here, as our main character hopes that she is not going to end up another dead victim. And to add another element this takes in alcohol and prescription drug addiction.

Well enough written, even by the end of this you cannot claim that you have the definitive answer to everything that has happened, which adds to the appeal and the hold that the story has over you, and shows a certain masterfulness in the design and construction of this. At the end of the day, once you have finished this you will certainly remember this book, and it is to be hoped that some kind of film treatment will be made of this, although I would suspect a tv serial would be more effective than a movie of this novel.

Anticlimactic and farfetched

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

I found so much annoying about this book. From the clichéd "damaged female lead" who was constantly so hard done by and glum, yet every guy is flocking to her. There was a lot of seemingly pointless back story and building to then reveal the murderer was a minor character that zero clues pointed to. I also find it obnoxious when an author doesn't consider the realistic legalities of something e.g. someone was filmed without their knowledge and the policeman told a civilian it's up to her if she tells him. Also, who on earth just comes across three people that look IDENTICAL to them in the same city?! This book is just ridiculous from start to finish. Don't waste your time with it

A frustrating read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 4, 2022

Verified Purchase

I gave this three stars because there is a lot going on that drags you in to the story line and it is mostly well written. But the ending................ If I had known the ending I woud not have bothered with the book at all. So many loose ends, so much throughout the book that seem to have nothing to do with the story line and are just left unresolved. This is a messy book which jumps from scene to scene, many extremely unbelievable. I read it waiting and hoping for it all to come together but no - it didn't. I think the author put so many scenarios in the book and then couldn't explain or use them so gave up! A rubbish ending.

I really disliked this storyline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

2 stars for being well written, but I did not like this storyline at all. There didn't seem to be anyone likeable in it and it seemed clear from some early clues how the narrator was involved although you need to battle through to the end to find out if you are correct.
