Jennifer Hillier, Things We Do In the Dark
(Minotaur)
“Jennifer Hillier writes the kind of propulsive, no-holds-barred crime fiction that keeps you up at night, with a style and verve that is unmatched. Things We Do in the Dark is a timely, engrossing thriller that will keep you turning the pages until dawn’s light starts to creep through your bedroom window. Hillier is a master.”
–Alex Segura
Silvia Moreno-Garcia, The Daughters of Doctor Moreau
(Del Rey)
“The imagination of Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a thing of wonder, restless and romantic, fearless in the face of genre, embracing the polarities of storytelling— the sleek and the bizarre, wild passions and deep hatreds—with cool equanimity.”
–The New York Times
Elizabeth Hand, Hokuloa Road
(Mulholland)
“Set in a Hawaii so vividly imagined I’m still shaking sand out of my shoes.”
–Grady Hendrix
Barbara Bourland, The Force of Such Beauty
(Dutton)
“An immersive depiction of the glittering surface and rotten core of royal living, painted in sumptuous and chilling detail.”
–Kirkus Reviews
George Dawes Green, The Kingdoms of Savannah
(Celadon)
In his first novel in more than a decade, Edgar Award winner Green delivers a gripping and expertly researched Southern literary thriller that is anything but cozy. Most powerful is the novel’s exploration of contemporary social issues like homelessness, privilege, and familial legacies built from slavery.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Allie Reynolds, The Swell
(G.P. Putnam’s Sons)
“The author of Shiver moves from the mountains to the beach as a passionate surfer finds herself caught in a deadly adventure. An exhilarating, adrenaline-filled tale of surfing and rock scrambling.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Eve Chase, The Birdcage
(Putnam)
“[A] moody psychological thriller….Exquisite prose and an evocative setting.”
–Publishers Weekly
Ed Lin Death, Death Doesn’t Forget
(Soho)
“[Death Doesn’t Forget] takes readers on a tour of everyday Taipei, balancing exposure of sobering gender inequalities, marginalized aboriginals, and cowboy policing with irreverent wit.”
–Booklist
Sarah Pearse, The Retreat
(Pamela Dorman Books)
“A riveting, twisty page-turner . . . Readers of Pearse’s earlier book or Ruth Ware’s suspense novels will be hard-pressed to put down this atmospheric, sometimes creepy novel.”
–Library Journal
Daniel Silva, Portrait of an Unknown Woman
(Harper)
“Few reading experiences bring me more joy than opening up the new Gabriel Allon novel every summer.”
–CrimeReads
