Dear Debbie

by Freida McFadden · 2026

Debbie Mullen, the longtime advice columnist behind New England’s beloved “Dear Debbie” column, has spent years guiding women through abusive and dismissive marriages. When her own life unravels—she loses her job, her teenage daughters face unsettling challenges, and her husband’s secrets surface via a tracking app—Debbie decides she’s had enough. Turning the practical advice she once gave into a personal vendetta, she embarks on a dark, calculated campaign of retribution against the people who have wronged her. Freida McFadden delivers a twisted, subversive psychological thriller that explores the lengths a woman will go when she finally takes justice into her own hands.
