Welcome to El Dorado Drive by Megan Abbott book tour hosted by Suzy Approved Book Tours. 

About El Dorado Drive

All I want is to be innocent again. But that’s not how it works. Especially not after the Wheel.

When Harper moves in with her sister Pam, she’s surprised to find Pam doing so well financially after her messy divorce. After all, Pam’s ex-husband wiped their bank accounts, even stole from their kids. But Pam managed to find her way back. Thanks to the Wheel…

Twice a month, the women of the Wheel meet. New members bring cash to the party that is pooled together and then gifted to one lucky member. It’s all about giving back. Lifting each other up. As women should. As they must.

But when Harper is invited, with the promise of an end to her financial burdens, the sisters inadvertently unleash a darkness lurking within the group. If they’re not careful, it might just get them killed.

Megan Abbott turns her keen eye toward women and money in El Dorado Drive, a riveting story about greed, power, and vulnerability, and how desperation draws out our most destructive impulses.

Book Blurbs

“El Dorado Drive is a silky devious ride. It’s suspenseful as all hell but also beautifully observed and filled with trenchant observations about the price of greed and the debilitating weight of modern womanhood.”—Dennis Lehane, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Tense, chilling and beautifully written, El Dorado Drive is an absolute knockout.”—Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Twice

“As surprising and electrifying as a summer storm, El Dorado Drive deftly examines hope, need, greed and the complicated angles of sisterhood. It is suspenseful, beautifully written and, quite simply, exquisite.” —Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

“El Dorado Drive is a dizzying ephemeral journey where Megan confirms what many of us already knew. She is one the finest writers to ever put pen to paper in the crime genre. A rare tour de force.” —S.A. Cosby, author of All the Sinners Bleed

“[A] nerve-shredding thriller. . . Abbott probes the minefield of sisterhood to harrowing effect, using staccato prose to amplify the inherent apprehension and anxiety of the siblings’ relationships. The result is a tense and twisty delight.”—Publishers Weekly

Review for El Dorado Drive

Megan Abbott does it again—this time with a slow-burn mystery wrapped in sisterhood, desperation, and just a touch of pyramid-scheme chaos.

El Dorado Drive follows the once prolific Bishop sisters as they try to claw their way back to the life they’ve lost… by buying into a not-a-cult-but-definitely-sketchy organization promising “abundance.” What could go wrong, right? (Spoiler: A lot.)

This book simmers with quiet tension—the kind that creeps up on you and then won’t let go. It’s less about the big, flashy moments and more about the choices women make when the world starts closing in. Abbott nails the emotional unraveling of each sister, making their descent into The Wheel feel totally believable—and pretty haunting.

It’s juicy, sharp, and full of truths about power, money, and the cost of being seen. If you’re into slow burns that pay off with emotional punch and a side of suspense, El Dorado Drive is definitely worth the read.
