Bonnie Kistler, The Cage
(Harper)
“[An] absolutely spellbinding thriller. . . . An utterly engrossing and thoroughly entertaining story.”
Booklist, starred review
Anna Pitoniak, Our American Friend
(Simon and Schuster)
“An enthralling journey into the life of one of the most powerful women in the world….Exploring interpersonal loyalties and the difference between cowardice and patience, the well-researched and twist-filled Our American Friend is a natural next-read for fans of Curtis Sittenfeld, A. Natasha Joukovsky, and Stacey Swann.”—Booklist, starred review
Ben Mezrich, The Midnight Ride
(Grand Central)
“Cinematic, immersive, and completely entertaining! With The Midnight Run, Boston gets its own Da Vinci Code, and after you race through these irresistible pages, you will never look at the city the same way again. Impeccably researched and captivatingly told. Standing ovation for this terrific thriller!”
Hank Phillippi Ryan
Michael Ledwidge, Beach Wedding
(Hanover Square Press)
“Appealing characters and snappy patter… Ledwidge really knows how to tell a story.”
Publishers Weekly
Mandy McHugh, Chloe Cates Is Missing
(Scarlet)
“Gripping debut […] Chapters told from multiple perspectives skillfully tease out the characters’ respective secrets to reveal the rage lurking beneath their smiling faces. McHugh is off to a strong start.”
Publishers Weekly
Robin Kirman, The End of Getting Lost
(Simon and Schuster)
“This is a slim and beautifully written novel, more literary than thriller but plot-driven all the same. Readers won’t know who to root for in this story that is ripe for discussion.”
Booklist
M.C. Beaton, Death of a Green-Eyed Monster
(Grand Central)
“Longing for escape? Tired of waiting for Brigadoon to materialize? Time for a trip to Lochdubh, the scenic, if somnolent, village in the Scottish Highlands where M. C. Beaton sets her beguiling whodunits featuring Constable Hamish Macbeth.”
New York Times Book Review
Catherine Ostler, The Duchess Countess: The Woman Who Scandalized Eighteenth-Century London
(Atria Books)
“The real-life tale of Elizabeth Chudleigh is begging for a Netflix adaptation, with shades of Jane Austen, Bridgerton, and a dash of The Scarlet Letter.”
The New York Times
Minka Kent, Unmissing
(Thomas & Mercer)
“Kent sets her hook so deep and springs such a dumbfounding series of surprises that very few readers will want to interrupt their reading for anything less than a house fire.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Deanna Raybourn, An Impossible Impostor
(Berkley)
“Even after seven books, readers can still be surprised with the stories from Veronica’s unknown past. Fans of the series will delight in the continued adventures and relationship of the intrepid pair.”
