Deon Meyer, Leo
(Atlantic Monthly Press)
“Meyer expertly interlaces his main narrative threads in shrewd and unpredictable ways, remaining one step ahead of readers as he ushers the plot to a rollicking conclusion. This intelligent page-turner confirms Meyer’s reputation as a master of the police procedural.”
–Publishers Weekly
Allen Eskens, The Quiet Librarian
(Mulholland)
“No typical whodunit, this is an intense and emotional story about grief, loss, and the horrors of war. . . . Hana is a compelling character readers can’t help but root for, even if they disagree with her actions. This book is perfect for fans of intense mysteries and those who like fiction featuring real-life history.”
–Booklist
CL Miller, The Antique Hunter’s Death on the Red Sea
(Atria)
“Readers steeped in the antiques world will be delighted by Miller’s robust knowledge of the trade, and Freya remains an appealing protagonist. This series continues to deliver.”
–Publishers Weekly
Mark Greaney, Midnight Black
(Berkley)
“Things come alive when Zoya is introduced. Her jousting with the power-mad twerp who controls her life in the Russian hellhole prison is on a different level. Does the journey end in the lovers’ reunion? That’s for Greaney to tell in the last chapter, where he reveals the true reason for Zoya’s arrest and gives action fans what they want.”
–Booklist
Nick Newman, The Garden
(Putnam)
“Part fable, part literary thriller, wholly unmoored from genre convention, The Garden may be the elusive inheritor to the weirdness of Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi.”
–Vulture
M. C. Beaton with R.W. Green, Death of a Smuggler
(Grand Central)
“Series fans will be well pleased.”
–Publishers Weekly
Emily J. Smith, Nothing Serious
(William Morrow)
“While [Edie’s] dogged obsession propels the plot forward, it’s Smith’s exploration of themes like feminine insecurity, self-erasure, and dating double standards that sets this apart from similar fare. Readers will be thinking about this long after they’ve turned the final page.”
–Publishers Weekly
Kelley Armstrong, Cold as Hell
(Minotaur)
“Kelley Armstrong’s Haven’s Rock series is full of mystery, suspense, and atmosphere. The third book in the series proves this storyline keeps getting better and better.”
–Mystery & Suspense
Darcy Coates, The Vengeful Dead
(Poisoned Pen Press)
“Fans of ghosts and paranormal horror will enjoy this tale, which includes a touch of humor and romance.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Clare Whitfield, Poor Girls
(Head of Zeus)
“Funny, fast-paced and dark… with dialogue that absolutely crackles.”
–Elodie Harper
