Stephen King tweeted the following about Anna Pitoniak’s debut thriller NECESSARY PEOPLE: “That book-blurb saying ‘I couldn't put it down’ is usually bullshit, right? For me it was true of Anna Pitoniak's NECESSARY PEOPLE. I literally couldn't stop reading. Murder, ambition, toxic friendship. What's not to like?” Little, Brown and Company published the book on May 21, 2019.
