In The Change by Kirsten Miller, three midlife women in a Long Island coastal town discover that menopause has awakened unusual new abilities—and as young women in their area start going missing, those powers pull them into a dangerous search for answers that local systems seem unwilling to pursue. Blending dark humor, feminist “revenge fantasy,” and thriller momentum, the novel follows the women as they form an unlikely alliance, test the limits of their new strength, and confront the ways wealth, influence, and misogyny can hide wrongdoing in plain sight—without turning it into a whodunit for the reader.
