Matthew Blake, A Murder in Paris
(Harper)
“With a memorable protagonist, jaw-dropping twists, and provocative questions about the nature of memory, this page-turner is nearly impossible to forget.” — Publishers Weekly
You-jeong Jeong, Perfect Happiness
translated by Sean Lin Halbert
(Creature Publishing)
“A chilling horror, a dark abyss of humanity, fast-paced and addictive…impossible to put down.”-J. M. Lee, author of The Investigation and Artificial Truth
Lily Anderson, Showstopper
(Henry Holt)
“Anderson effectively captures the over-the-top atmosphere of theater camp, resulting in plenty of dark humor.”—Publisher’s Weekly
Jen Sookfong Lee, The Hunger We Pass Down
(Erewhon)
“Genuinely frightening story of rape, abuse, and neglect. A bold story of intergenerational trauma that creates spooky scares out of real-life atrocities.” – Kirkus
Sherry Thomas, The Librarians
(Berkley)
“Mixing suspense with heart, international backstory, and richly drawn characters, The Librarians blends The Thursday Murder Club’s charm with the glamour of Crazy Rich Asians.”—Bibliolifestyle
Kit Burgoyne, The Captive
(Hell’s Hundred)
“[A] witty supernatural thrill ride . . . Burgoyne keeps the action brisk and the repartee sharp in the ensuing game of cat-and-mouse . . . This refreshingly modern spin on the infernal child theme deserves to stand beside such genre classics as Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen.”
—Publishers Weekly
Richard Osman, The Impossible Fortune
(Pamela Dorman Books)
“Pensioners Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim are up to their old tricks again in Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series, inserting themselves into a missing-persons case that will no doubt ensnare their expanding roster of buddies, from their favorite local police detectives to an imprisoned drug kingpin.”—The Washington Post
Ann Cleeves, The Killing Stones
(Minotaur)
“Cleeves excels at drawing a picture of the landscapes, communities, and the characters who live in them. Readers will welcome the return of Jimmy and Willow and be thrilled with the new setting.”—Library Journal
Eddie Robson, The Heist of Hollow London
(Tor Books)
“Readers who love a good caper story or a sci-fi mystery will be thrilled with this…fascinating interpretation of a world gone very, very wrong.” —Library Journal
Michael Wehunt, The October Film Haunt
(St. Martin’s)
“Wehunt is one of the most dynamic voices in horror… perfect for those who love horror featuring urban legends and found footage… a cosmic fusion of William Faulkner’s gothic with modern sensibilities. This novel will keep readers guessing until the very last page.” —Booklist
