Jessa Maxwell, I Need You To Read This
(Atria)
“[A] palm-sweat-inducing psychological thriller.”
–Booklist
Elizabeth Staple, The Snap
(Doubleday)
“[The Snap] buzzes with all-too-familiar frustration at injustices. In the doubts and thrills of her story, Staple echoes the moment in a game when a bone-crunching collision has a player carted off the field. Are we allowed to enjoy this? Should the game still go on? An endorphin-fueled, heart-hammering sprint.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Fiona McFarlane, Highway Thirteen
(FSG)
“Eerie and insightful . . . McFarlane beautifully renders the ways in which news of the crimes warps some of her cast’s relationships and causes other characters to slip into obsession. It’s a standout meditation on a community’s legacy of violence.”
–Publisher’s Weekly
Snowden Wright, Queen City Detective Agency
(William Morrow)
“The Queen City Detective Agency is a remarkable work of Southern noir. . . . A disgruntled PI and a plot as wildly complicated as the history of the American South itself combine in this spectacular, darkly funny mystery.”
–Shelf Awareness
A.E. Gauntlett, The Stranger at the Wedding
(Henry Holt)
“An un-put-downable thriller about a couple whose relationship unravels on their wedding night. … Gauntlett moves fluidly between past and present … without once allowing the pace to flag. By the time the explosive finale arrives, readers may find they’ve been up all night.”
–Publishers Weekly
Zoje Stage, Dear Hanna
(Thomas & Mercer)
“All will squirm uncomfortably and yet be unwilling to look away, furiously turning the pages until the final twist is revealed. A great choice for those who enjoy the work of Sarah Pinborough, Catriona Ward, and Katrina Monroe.”
–Booklist
Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, Till Death Do Us Part
(Simon & Schuster)
“Taut, twisty…. Multiple suspenseful, unexpected twists and turns later, the truth—dark, tragic, and shocking—emerges. Fans of Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins will enjoy this one.”
–Booklist
Joe Moore, White Robes and Broken Badges
(Harper)
“White Robes and Broken Badges is a gut punch of a book that takes you inside the Ku Klux Klan and shows the true underbelly of the American dream. Riveting, enthralling and downright terrifying, this is the one you shouldn’t miss.”
–Brad Meltzer
Caroline Wolff, The Wayside
(Blackstone)
“Prepare to be enthralled by The Wayside, a riveting exploration of the human psyche and the haunting truths that lie beneath the surface.” –Michelle Gagnon
Colleen McKeegan, Rip Tide
(Harper)
“A dark, witty beach read about beach-town shenanigans.”
–Kirkus Reviews
