Sarah Langan, Trad Wife
(Atria)
“[A] slick, eerie horror outing…a memorable entry in the recent slew of horror novels and thrillers sending up the trad wife phenomenon.”
—Publishers Weekly

Dan Warner, Wither
(Bloomsbury)
“Wither is a cautionary tale that pleads with readers to better understand what they’re doing by trusting AI while touching something relatable: the desire to make a difference and have a legacy worth leaving.”
–Booklis

George Makana Clark, The Wreckers
(Europa)
“Zimbabwean writer Clark debuts with an exuberant picaresque about a fraudster’s complex scheme involving blood diamonds.”
–Publishers Weekly

Sara Z Carson, Dark Messiah
(Navigator)
“A psychedelically violent debut… An absorbing, shocking first from Carson.”
–Henrietta Thornton, firstClue

Jennifer Thorne, Newbourne Park
(Putnam)
“Commentary on class privilege is interwoven with visceral body horror and moments of grief . . . The unexpected plot twists will keep readers guessing who the real monster is. An atmospheric and unpredictable monster horror with timely observations of how much freedom money can buy.” —Library Journal

Ann Cleeves, The Dying Light
(Minotaur)
“Continuing to portray Venn as the antithesis of a hard-hitting, cynical cop, the prolific Cleeves solidifies the approachable appeal of her introspective, self-deprecating detective in the fourth installment in her popular Venn series, following The Raging Storm.”
–Booklist

David McCloskey, London Station
(Norton)
It’s time to stop quibbling and say out loud that David McCloskey is the best spy thriller writer working today.
–Tim Shipman “Spybrary”

L.M. Chilton, I Think We Should Kill Other People
(Gallery/Scout Press)
“A mash-up of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None and The Bachelor, Chilton keeps the thrills and twists coming, and his trademark incorporation of cutting-edge technologies into the storyline continues to make his work stand apart.”
–Library Journal

Lorna Barrett, A Critical Conjunction
(Berkley)
It’s always a pleasure to visit Stoneham as the cast of clever characters continues its crime-solving ways.
–Kirkus Reviews

Micaiah Johnson, The Unhaunting
(Putnam)
“Horror fans will love the method of storytelling employed in this book as the reader is routinely invited into the mind of the haunting, which nearly takes over the narration. It becomes a voyeuristic experience as both side of events are clear. This is a unique and fascinating way to tell a haunted house story that will appeal to fans of this trope and genre.”
–Booklist
