Janice Hallett, The Twyford Code
(Atria)
“[I]ngenious… Filled with numerous clues, acrostics, and red herrings, this thrilling scavenger hunt for the truth is delightfully deceptive and thoroughly immersive.”
–Publishers Weekly
Sterling Watson, Night Letter
(Akashic)
“Amid the classic noir elements, author Sterling Watson slow-rolls a moving reflection on the costs to the human heart of vast social and economic change.”
–New York Magazine
E. V. Adamson, Murder Grove
(Scarlet)
A claustrophobic, breathlessly effective tale that seems to pave the way for a choose-your-own-murder series.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Erin Kelly, The Skeleton Key
(Mobius)
“Full of reflections on ego and art, love and loss, this atypical thriller shows Kelly writing at the top of her game.”
–Publishers Weekly
Max Allan Collins, The Big Bundle
(Hard Case Crime)
“Superb… Collins again artfully uses a real-life crime, one now obscure but headline-making in the 1950s, as the springboard for a crackerjack plot. This is another standout in a consistently good series.”
–Publishers Weekly
Christopher Golden, All Hallows
(St Martins)
“I ripped through All Hallows like a wildfire. Straight-up classic-feeling old-school horror. Declare Golden the KING OF HALLOWEEN after that one.”
–Chuck Wendig
Dean Koontz, The House at the End of the World
(Thomas and Mercer)
“A tragedy has sent a young artist into seclusion. A potential apocalypse may be enough to bring her back.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Stephanie Graves, A Courage Undimmed
(Kensington)
“Graves’s focus on a fascinating bit of WWII history makes this stand out among lighter wartime mysteries.”
–Publishers Weekly
Alyssa Maxwell, A Fashionable Fatality
(Kensington)
“Maxwell brings the era’s class and gender constraints to life in this intelligent historical.”
Publishers Weekly
Élmer Mendoza (transl. Mark Fried), Kiss the Detective
(Mobius)
“One of the biggest names in Mexican literature . . . A true novelist . . . No-one has captured the exciting and passionate nature of the Mexican vernacular like him.”
–Arturo Pérez-Reverte.
