Ashley Audrain, The Whispers
(Pamela Dorman)
“The novel soars via Audrain’s clever revelations of the ways her protagonists’ lives are linked in ways they never suspected. Both artful and pulse pounding, this isn’t easily shaken.”
–Publishers Weekly
Paul Goldberg, The Dissident
(FSG)
“[A] darkly comic tale . . . A refreshing and literary take on the genre that appeals to the intellect as well as the pulse.”
–Library Journal
S.A. Cosby, All the Sinners Bleed
(Flatiron)
“The hard-edged storytelling is supplemented by richly developed characters, especially Titus and his family, and Cosby elegantly layers his narrative over Virginia’s racial history, giving the proceedings uncommon emotional depth. This is easily the author’s strongest work to date.”
–Publishers Weekly
Katharine Beutner, Killingly
(Soho)
“A story of women who defy strict rules, Killingly is a gripping novel of intrigue and surprising twists.”
–Kate Manning
Josh Haven, The Siberia Job
(Mysterious)
“A colorful depiction of recent history wrapped in a comic caper. Think Donald Westlake with a Slavic accent.”
–Kirkus
Adorah Nworah, House Woman
(Unnamed Press)
“Adorah Nworah is a stunning literary talent, and her debut will enthrall you, incense you, and haunt you forever.”
–Layne Fargo
Kate Khavari, A Botanist’s Guide to Flowers and Fatality
(Crooked Lane)
“An intriguing mystery with plenty of esoteric plant lore and a touch or two of romance.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Eliza Jane, Brazier Girls and their Horses
(Berkley)
“In this whodunnit set in the elite show-jumping scene, new money clashes with old, while mean girls and competetive moms abound. Brazier gets everything right about how the horse world can go wrong.”
–People
Marjorie McCown, Final Cut
(Crooked Lane)
Marjorie McCown’s Final Cut is both an insider look at what it’s like to work on Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster and a surprising, timely mystery about a murder on the set.
–Kellye Garrett
Katharine Schellman, The Last Drop of Hemlock
(Minotaur)
“Vivid . . . A brisk and bubbly period whodunit with a pair of indomitable heroines.”
–Kirkus Reviews
