Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks.

Megan Abbott, Beware the Woman
(Putnam)
“A real treat for the author’s many fans and for everyone who treasures that sense of Gothic-tinged trouble both within and without. Think Rebecca in the UP. Abbott was once a cult favorite, but those times are long gone. She’s a crime-fiction A-lister now.”
–Booklist
I.S. Berry, The Peacock and the Sparrow
(Atria)
“Outstanding…The plot’s many twists will captivate readers, and Berry’s gorgeous prose is its own reward with echoes of le Carré and Graham Greene.”
–Publishers Weekly
Alison Goodman, The Benevolent Society of Ill Mannered Ladies
(Berkley)
Fans of Georgette Heyer’s Regency novels will savor this mystery …. Well-developed characters, a touch of romance, and cases involving social issues of the period enhance the experience.”
–Library Journal
Seraphina Nova Glass, The Vanishing Hour
(Graydon House)
“Seraphina has once again proven she’s a master of domestic suspense. No one weaves a twisty, dark tale quite like her…I highly recommend this propulsive thriller.”
–Amber Garza
TJ Newman, Drowning
(Avid Reader/Simon and Schuster)
“Taut, gripping . . . A spectacular aviation thriller that readers will be relieved to know is fiction.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Jo Nesbo (transl. Sean Kinsella), Killing Moon
(Knopf)
“Jo Nesbø is one of today’s most interesting thriller writers, and Harry Hole is an all-time great character.”
–Lee Child
Katharine Hall Page, The Body in the Web
(William Morrow)
“The 26th Faith Fairchild mystery (after The Body in the Wake) is fresh and remarkable in its ability to bring back memories of the day-to-day aspects of living through COVID. The reader and the victim are both trapped in a web in this skillful combination of mystery and pandemic story.”
–Library Journal
James Comey, Central Park West
(Mysterious Press)
“James Comey combines his insider knowledge of every level of the justice system with a natural storytelling voice to create a winning debut in Central Park West. More books, please.”
–Alafair Burke
Robert Thorogood, Death Comes to Marlow
(Poisoned Pen)
“Thorogood expertly crafts a locked-room mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s well-plotted stories. Readers will enjoy piecing together this engaging puzzle alongside members of the Marlow Murder Club.”
–BookPage
Lisa Belkin, Genealogy of a Murder: Four Generations, Three Families, One Fateful Night
(Norton)
“Outstanding…. Belkin’s judicious research parlays into an engrossing, expansive narrative that reads like a real-life Greek tragedy. It will spur contemplation and debate in an audience far beyond just true crime diehards.”
–Publishers Weekly
