Gilly MacMillan, The Burning Library
(William Morrow)
“Macmillan’s…compelling blend of academic intrigue, historical mystery, and high-stakes suspense makes this a must-read for fans of Kate Morton and Elizabeth Kostova.”
–Library Journal
Ellen Huet, Empire of Orgasm
(MCD)
“A carefully written exposé of an ‘infinite game’ built on lust for wealth and power—but on mere lust, too.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Tanya Grant, Made You Look
(Berkley)
“Tanya Grant’s debut novel is reminiscent of a classic Agatha Christie-style locked-door whodunit—that is, if Christie wrote about social media influencers and their entourages.”
–Marie Claire
H. Lee Justine, You Watched in Silence
(Blackstone)
“A twisty, interesting path…and Caitlyn’s strength and vulnerability are very relatable…The most pervasive evil lies in the shadowy toxicity of the internet–and those who will sacrifice anything for fame. A romance sweetens up the dark commentary on influencer culture.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Holly Seddon, 59 Minutes
(Atria/Emily Bestler)
“Suspenseful, anxiety-inducing, wonderfully written, and addicting; with intense world building and quick, piercing prose, Seddon demonstrates immense skill taking on such a charged topic. The impact reverberates through the whole novel, and it will leave the reader wondering what they would do if a day is ever said to be the last.”
–Booklist
Peggy Townsend, The Botanist’s Assistant
(Berkley)
“Margaret is an endearing enough heroine that readers will be gratified to see her hard work vindicated. … this is sweet enough to charm cozy fans.”
Publishers Weekly
Emily Ross, Swallowtail
(Galliot)
“She maintains plenty of nerve-shredding tension, however, and makes her lead’s trauma palpable. This gets the job done.”
–Publishers Weekly
Amy K. Green, Haven’t Killed In Years
(Berkley)
“Haven’t Killed in Years is funny, dark, and captures the loneliness of being the child of a notorious serial killer. Every time I thought I’d figured out the identity of the murderer, a new potential killer revealed themselves on the page. In a book filled with suspects, there was a surprising amount of empathy and friendship to be found.”
–Tasha Coryell
Thomas Dann, Midnight in Memphis
(Crooked Lane Books)
“Midnight in Memphis is the real deal and Thomas Dann is a real find. This is a twisty, well-wrought whodunit set in the Memphis of 60 years ago, driven by savory characters and the enticing, sometimes lurid, mysteries that always seemed to lurk beneath the surface of the old south.”
–Scott Turow
Julia Spencer-Fleming, At Midnight Comes the Cry
(Minotaur)
“With great outdoor scenes, tight plotting, and appealing characters, this will hold readers’ attention and leave them hungry for more.”
–FirstClue
