A "Most Anticipated" Today.com Book Pick
Named One of Goodreads' Most Anticipated Books of Summer

"[A] novel everyone will be reading this summer." -The New York Times

"Enticing. The historical storyline rivets with its nuanced characters and graceful explorations of gender inequality, medical ethics, and mental health." -Publisher's Weekly

"Pekkanen's latest is a tour de force: a thriller, an investigation into universities' past abuse of young women in psych labs, and a nicely creepy evocation of Wilkie Collins' famous, similarly named Gothic novel. Riley uncovers increasingly disturbing information about the missing women and the lab's cover-up in this thriller that's both entertaining and wrenching." -Booklist (Starred review)

"THE WOMEN IN WHITE is a swift, lean, compelling tale of preternatural suspense, disturbing in all the right ways. When the pursuit of knowledge is really the pursuit of power, things go wrong-which can be devilishly entertaining!" -DEAN KOONTZ

"THE WOMEN IN WHITE is prime suspense and intrigue. In the 1960s, four young women become tragically involved in psychic experimentation at a prestigious college. In the present day, a young woman, down on her luck, becomes the caretaker of one of the survivors. The full story unfolds with fascinating layers, and readers will be held captive until the last page." -CHARLAINE HARRIS

"This fun and fast-paced novel was inspired by real-life psychic experiments and academic parapsychology departments of the 1960s -- what a great setting for a creepy thriller! Imagine something like Mad Men with ESP and telekinesis. Sarah Pekkanen delivers a thoroughly entertaining story and made me believe the impossible." -Jason Rekulak, NYT bestselling author of The Last One at the Wedding

"Readers of Megan Miranda and SamanthaDowning will enjoy this suspenseful tale featuring an unlikely pair of women from different generations. It will especiallyappeal to anyone who has ever experienced a flicker of premonition." -Library Journal
