The Method centers on Anna and Natalie, two professional actors whose lives are built on slipping into other identities. When Natalie disappears, Anna doesn’t feel like she is getting help from the police and she takes it upon herself to figure out what happened, because all signs pointed to something amiss. Anna must take on the biggest, and possibly implausible roll of her life, by walking straight into the world of the people responsible. What follows is Anna wildly overestimating her ability to play hero, convinced she can infiltrate the bad guy’s lair, find Natalie, and get them both out on sheer nerve and learned skills alone. Spoiler: it’s a terrible plan. The villains here are truly dangerous, the things they’re involved in are unsettling, and Anna has no idea who she can trust.
Anna is not your typical thriller heroine; she’s scrappy, stubborn, and fully aware that what she’s doing is unhinged, which somehow makes her even more compelling. This book reads just like a binge worth television series allowing you to only breathe at the end of a chapter. Matthew Quirk’s writing is clean, direct, and unapologetically cinematic, populated with espionage archetypes that shouldn’t work but absolutely do. If you love fast-paced thrillers, bold and ballsy female leads, lean into this one and enjoy the ride.
