Kellye Garrett, Like a Sister
(Mulholland Books)
“Brimming with suspense and wit, Like a Sister is a tense, twisting mystery that explores the complex bonds within family and the elusive nature of truth. Smart, sharp, and completely engrossing—an absolutely can’t-put-it-down read!”
Megan Miranda
C.J. Box, Shadows Reel
(Putnam)
“Old-school Nazis, newfangled terrorists, Big Sky country—it’s all here.”
Kirkus Reviews
Liam McIlvanney, The Heretic
(Europa / World Noir)
“A new master of tartan noir.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review
Tara Isabella Burton, The World Cannot Give
(Simon and Schuster)
“A defiantly distinct meditation on power, desire, and the search for self. Events unfold from Laura’s perspective via an increasingly breathless third-person-present narrative, conferring voyeuristic intimacy. Deftly drawn, deeply insecure characters complement the melodramatic plot, which crescendos to a devastating close.”
Kirkus, starred review
Brad Meltzer, The Lightning Rod
(William Morrow)
“Nola Brown is one of recent fiction’s all-time great characters, and Meltzer’s subtle pacing and narrative charm mean we can’t take our eyes off her for a single moment—trust me, this is a terrific, compelling, unputdownable thriller.”
Lee Child
Gu Byeong-mo (transl. Chi-Young Kim), The Old Woman With The Knife
(Hanover Square Press)
“An unparalleled story only Gu Byeong-mo could create, with a groundbreaking female character as captivating as any in literature.”
Kyung-Sook Shin
Sam Wiebe, Hell and Gone
(Harbour Publishing)
“Wakeland is to Vancouver what Scudder is to New York, and Hell and Gone cements Wiebe’s place alongside Penny, Barclay, and Atwood.”
Reed Farrel Coleman
Lee Kravetz, The Last Confessions of Sylvia P
(Harper)
“Lee Kravetz has created a bit of a miracle, a plot-driven literary puzzle box whose mystery lives in both its winding approach to history and its wonderous story. It’s a book full of ideas about inspiration and a love for language that translates across borders, physical and generational.”
Adam Johnson
Loreth Anne White, The Patient’s Secret
(Montlake)
“[An] exceptional psychological thriller…White does a superb job keeping the reader guessing as she peels back the layers of a seemingly perfect family to reveal the shocking truth. Suspense fans will want to see more from this talented author.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review
Jody Gehrman, The Summer We Buried
(Crooked Lane)
