CJ Cooke, The Last Witch
(Berkley)
“Another chilling, atmospheric novel.” –The Times (UK)
Megha Majumdar, A Guardian and a Thief
(Knopf)
“A beguilingly simple tale. A complicated morality play. A sensitive evocation of time. . . . [A Guardian and a Thief] is a contemporary classic.” –Minnesota Star Tribune
Martha Waters, And Then There Was the One
(Atria)
“An amateur sleuth finds love in this clever homage to Golden Age detective fiction… Striking a beautiful balance between sweet romance and cozy mystery, this memorable tale is sure to please.”–Publishers Weekly
Hannah Beer, I Make My Own Fun
(House of Anansi)
“A dark, crazed reversal of Notting Hill.”–Daily Mail
Seicho Matsumoto, Tokyo Express
Translated by Jesse Kirkwood
(Modern Library)
“The debut novel of bestselling writer Seichō Matsumoto . . . first published in Japan in 1958 and never out of print, [is an] ingeniously plotted railway mystery.”–The Guardian
Luke Smitherd, I’ll Quit When I’m Dead
(Mulholland)
“Both Madison and Johnny find strength deep within as they face the demons that put them in their situations, and readers won’t want to put this page-turning horror novel down…” –Booklist
Caitlin Starling, The Graceview Patient
(St. Martin’s)
“[A] genre-bending tour de force… Equal parts medical drama, psychological thriller, and gothic horror, the book pulls readers in and refuses to let them go.” –Library Journal
Sheila Roberts, The Man Next Door
(MIRA)
“In this spunky nod to Rear Window, Roberts infuses a charming domestic comedy with a soupçon of suspicion. . . . a heartwarming diversion.” –Publishers Weekly
Amber Sparks, Happy People Don’t Live Here
(Liveright)
“Sparks works within a highly stylized mix of quirky and eerie–but from within her own idiosyncratic vision, she celebrates the power and strangeness of weird women and girls. For anyone who has ever wished they made Nancy Drew novels for grown-ups.”–Kirkus Reviews
Tom Ryan, We Had a Hunch
(Atlantic Crime)
“[A] sinuous small-town thriller. . . it doesn’t take long for Ryan’s tale to hit its stride… This is criminally good fun.”–Publishers Weekly
