Donna Leon, So Shall You Reap
(Atlantic Monthly Press)
“As always, Brunetti’s sensitivity to the human factor in his work—apparent in his sense of responsibility to the victims and his empathy with nearly all those he encounters—is what draws the reader to care for this character in a way that is very different from how we respond to most fictional sleuths. Add to that the richness of Brunetti’s domestic life—loving but never sentimental, defined more by a raised eyebrow than a rhetorical flourish—and you begin to see why this series occupies a very special place in the crime-fiction world.”
–Booklist
Christopher Bollen, The Lost Americans
(Harper)
“A gripping thriller with lingering emotional effects…Bollen takes real risks with the story, making it more haunting than the reader may be prepared for…Cut from the same mold as Robert Stone’s great political thrillers with its international intrigue, darkly atmospheric setting, and compromised characters.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Alma Katsu, Red London
(Putnam)
“Katsu knows her tradecraft. . . . A spy novel that focuses on relationships, women, and family is a refreshing change. . . . Katsu should win new fans with this one.”
–Publishers Weekly
Connor Sullivan, Wolf Trap
(Atria/Emily Bestler)
“An adrenaline rush of a novel! Starting this action-packed, country-hopping, plot-twisting thriller is guaranteed to keep you mesmerized till the final page. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.”
–Lisa Gardner
Harlan Coben, I Will Find You
(Grand Central)
“A series of twists and turns highlights another Great Harlan Coven novel. Nobody writes these kind of novels better than him. This is one you will not want to put down.”
–Red Carpet Crash
Jesse Q. Sutanto, Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murders
(Berkley)
“A mystery with warmth, humor, and many descriptions of delicious teas and foods. Recommended for fans of Sutanto and of character-driven cozy mysteries.”

(Vintage)

–Publishers Weekly
Patti McCracken, Angel Makers: Arsenic, a Midwife, and Modern History’s Most Astonishing Murder Ring
(William Morrow)
“[S]imply excellent. The storytelling is dramatic and compassionate; unlike works of crime nonfiction that relate facts at a journalistic remove, this book feels like it was written by someone who cares deeply about the victims of the crimes.”
