Sarah Vaughan, Little Disasters
(Atria/Emily Bestler Books)

“Vaughan’s intense novel digs into universal issues: the strains of motherhood, tests of friendship, sources of obsession, and the rewards of forgiveness. For those legions of readers who like edgy, contemporary tales.”
– Booklist

Lawrence Osborne, The Glass Kingdom
(Hogarth)

“A seductive, darkly atmospheric thriller with a spine-tingling climax.”
– Kirkus

Denise Mina, The Less Dead
(Mulholland)

“The menacing atmosphere . . . effectively supports the novel’s themes of reconciliation, class divides, and violence against women. Mina is a master of the genre, with wide appeal, especially for those who appreciate character-driven stories with literary weight, like those of Tana French, Karin Slaughter, and Laura Lippman.”
– Booklist

Catherine Ryan Howard, The Nothing Man
(Blackstone)

“Howard uses serial killer tropes in original and surprising ways in this tour de force.”
– Publisher’s Weekly

Ray Bradbury, Killer, Come Back To Me: The Crime Stories of Ray Bradbury
(Hard Case Crime)

“He could do the hard-boiled strut with the best of them, then enhance it with what the editor calls ‘the emotional fire of his prose’….All told in an intense, poetic language that leaves disturbing echoes.”
– Booklist

Rebecca Fleet, The Second Wife
(Pamela Dorman Books)

“This tale of deceit, obsession, and betrayal should win Fleet new fans.”
– Publisher’s Weekly

Jenny Milchman, The Second Mother
(Sourcebooks)

“Another gripping and satisfying story of suspense [from Milchman]…The Second Mother is a beautifully written page turner.”
– NY Journal of Books

David Joy, When These Mountains Burn
(Putnam)

“Slow-burning. . . With memorable characters, deft plotting, and an attention to detail, Joy has written a powerful work of crime fiction.”
– Kirkus

Pamela Crane, Little Deadly Secrets
(William Morrow)

“Little Deadly Secrets has one of the most chilling opening scenes I’ve ever read, and the tension keeps right on building. My advice: don’t read this book…unless you’re prepared not to put it down until you’re finished!”
– Wendy Corsi Staub

Rozlan Mohd Noor, 21 Immortals
(Arcade Crimewise)

“Takes readers to a darker, edgier Malaysia than . . . Shamini Flint’s Inspector Singh cozies; fans of John Burdett and Timothy Hallinan will be drawn to the gritty KL streets and to Mislan’s disregard for politics as he pursues justice.”
– Booklist
