Steve Cavanagh, Kill for Me Kill For You
(Atria)
“Explosive, game-changing reveals that, combined with an uncommon attunement to the central characters’ emotional arcs, make for a wild, deliciously satisfying ride.”
–Publishers Weekly
Sulari Gentill, The Mystery Writer
(Poisoned Pen Press)
“Gentill’s worthwhile novel is full of compelling characters, including doomsday preppers, online conspiracy theorists, and overzealous publishing agents. Recommended for readers who enjoy mysteries from Riley Sager, Ruth Ware, or Louise Penny.”
–Library Journal
Nova Jacobs, The Stars Turned Inside Out
(Atria)
“Jacobs elevates the death-in-the-workplace trope to staggering heights in this science-based thriller that fuses physics and philosophy in mindbending ways… Jacobs delves into subjects as deep as the nature of the universe and the space-time continuum and as quotidian as romantic love and professional jealousy, giving careful readers much to contemplate.”
–Booklist
Nicci French, Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?
(William Morrow)
“Husband and wife writing duo Nicci French are always a must read, and their latest, Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?, is one of their very best. Compelling, moving and beautifully written, it’s about how real people are affected by (and driven to) murder…. An absolute winner.”
–Guardian
Cynthia Pelayo, Forgotten Sisters
(Thomas and Mercer)
“This compelling mystery within a unique haunted-house story is told in gorgeous prose, with sympathetic, complicated characters who feel as if they could materialize off the page. Pelayo has given readers another can’t-miss novel, marked by its pervasive unease and riveting storyline. For fans of ghost stories that mine memory, fairy tales, and mystery, such as the works of Simone St. James, Jennifer McMahon, and Helen Oyeyemi.”
–Library Journal
Ron Corbett, Cape Rage
(Berkley)
“Corbett enhances his nail-biting plot with vivid depictions of the moody rural Washington State setting and convincing characterizations of cops and criminals alike.”
–Publishers Weekly
Gigi Pandian, A Midnight Puzzle
(Minotaur)
“Pandian triumphs again… with this fiendishly clever, intricately constructed whodunit. It’s another home run from a major talent.”
–Publishers Weekly
Alexia Casale, The Best Way to Bury Your Husband
(Penguin Books)
“A wife and her trusty frying pan fighting the patriarchy can elicit a silent cheer… Casale’s book goes beyond the statistics to tell four very human stories — morbid, funny and sadly relevant.”
–The Washington Post
Eric Rickstad, Lilith
(Blackstone)
“Rickstad delivers a second suspenseful thriller, one that reflects our politically divided times.”
–Booklist
Parker Adams, The Lock Box
(Crooked Lane)
“This taut, page-turner debut from Adams is perfect for fans of James Patterson and Jonathan Kellerman.”
