Craig Johnson, Return to Sender
(Viking)
“The straight-shooting hero is welcome in duplicitous times, but it’s the magnificent desert that captures the imagination.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Stephen King, Never Flinch
(Scribner)
“Holly is one of the most appealing investigators in contemporary crime fiction… Never Flinch contains King’s trademark chilling moments, with the two storylines expertly entwined.”
–The Guardian
Yigit Karaahmet (tr. Nicholas Glastonbury), Summerhouse
(Soho)
““A sultry debut from Yigit Karaahmet, brings dark humor and political rebellion to a gay love triangle and thriller set in Turkey.”
—Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine
Freya Sampson, The Busybody Book Club
(Berkley)
“Sampson’s latest is another fun British amateur sleuth story. … The intertwining perspectives of the disparate members will tug at readers’ armchair sleuthing abilities as they try to puzzle out whodunit and why. A good fit for fans of bookish mysteries featuring reluctant allies who learn to work together.”
–Library Journal
Paula Bomer, The Stalker
(Soho)
“Bomer tracks the increasingly threatening behavior of a sociopath in her excellent and shocking latest . . . As Doughty insinuates his way into the lives and homes of [two] women, the novel enters into genuinely disturbing territory. Bomer is equally adept at rendering Doughty’s warped psychology as she is with injecting dark humor into the proceedings . . . This is dark and twisted fun.”
–Publishers Weekly
Isabella Valeri, Letters from the Dead
(Atria/Emily Bestler)
“Valeri exhibits a formidable control of tone and mood, casting the action in near allegorical shades while maintaining taut suspense. Readers will eagerly await the sequel.”
–Publishers Weekly
Brianna Labuskes, By the Time You Read This
(Thomas & Mercer)
“The novelistic equivalent of a full-body workout.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Laura Leffler, Tell Them You Lied
(Hyperion Avenue)
“Taut, dark, and beautifully written… This twisted tale of ambition, envy, and toxic friendship had me turning pages late into the night.”
–Andrea Bartz
Amanda Flower, Not They Who Soar
(Kensington)
“Flowers continues to mold Katharine into a top-shelf gumshoe…This series deserves a long run.”
–Publishers Weekly
