<p>"Dear Debbie" promises a "twisted tale where the bad guy gets exactly what he deserves in the end," an ode to unhinged women reclaiming their power, McFadden tells USA TODAY.</p>
<p>"It's incredibly satisfying when fiction can deliver the happy ending that can elude us in our lives," McFadden said in a statement to USA TODAY. "Like everyone else, I have experienced frustrations in my life. The little ones like the driver who cuts me off in traffic or the people who leave their dog poop in the exact perfect place to step in it. Or the big ones that still keep me awake some nights. And what do I do when those injustices happen? Like the majority of people, I do nothing.</p>
<p>"That's why I created Debbie Mullen. Debbie is the cool housewife slash advice columnist who has reached the end of her rope and finally starts taking back everything that was stolen from her – piece by piece, name by name. This book is a shout out to the silence that so many women live in every day. Debbie is one of my favorite protagonists of all my thrillers, and I hope you love her as much as I do."</p>
