Alma Katsu, The Fervor
(G. P. Putnam)
“Katsu has no peer when it comes to atmospheric, detail-rich historical horror, but this volume is more unsettling than anything she’s written yet, because its demons attack readers uncomfortably close to home. A must-read for all, not just genre fans.”
Library Journal, starred review
David Gordon, The Wild Life
(Mysterious Press)
“In the caper tradition popularized by Donald E. Westlake and Lawrence Block, Gordon uses humor to good effect… Delightful misadventures include a wild chase on a yellow-and-orange Ducati motorcycle and a luxury car heist. Gordon’s found his groove in this one.”
Publishers Weekly
Don Winslow, City on Fire
(William Morrow)
“A blistering novel filled with anger and bite. . . . Plenty of pain for the characters, plenty of thrills for the reader.”
Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Cassidy Lucas, The Last Party
(Harper)
“The Last Party is a pitch-perfect thriller with a heart of gold. Cassidy Lucas perfectly captures the soul-shattering anxiety of the pandemic and gorgeously dramatizes its ability to both bring people together and drive them, tragically, apart. I couldn’t put it down.”
Joanna Rakoff
Janelle Brown, I’ll Be You
(Random House)
“A delicious work of intrigue and suspense . . . You won’t want to stop reading until you find out what’s happened.”
Kirkus Reviews
Heather Chavez, Blood Will Tell
(William Morrow)
“The author paints a moving portrait of sisters stumbling toward an adult relationship, perpetually driving one another crazy, but also loving each other deeply. Psychological thriller fans will find much to enjoy.”
Publishers Weekly
Jeneva Rose, One of Us Is Dead
(Blackstone)
“Scheming mean girls, sex and scandal, secrets and lies all wrapped up in Buckhead privilege and opulence—what’s not to love?”
Lisa Unger
Victoria Thompson, Murder on Madison Square
(Berkley, Publication date: May 3, 2022)
“Thompson does a good job showing how the automobile had begun to change people’s lives in the service of a nicely surprising plot. This is one of the series’ better entries.”
Phoebe Morgan, The Wild Girls
(William Morrow)
“Masterfully constructed twists and tangible paranoia push the bush setting to the background as treacheries are unveiled, and the outcome is shrouded by competing obsessions and next-level manipulation.”
Booklist
Tarryn Fisher, An Honest Lie
(Graydon House)
“[An] exhilarating, action-packed finale. Readers will cheer as Rainy risks everything to bring down the man who stole her childhood. Fisher delivers the goods.”
