Karen White, Beatriz Williams, and Lauren Willig, The Author’s Guide to Murder
(William Morrow)
“Three pros unite again for this fun, dramatic mystery with an exotic setting and delightful characters.”
–Library Journal
Chris McKinney, Honolulu Noir
(Akashic)
“These are some seriously fine stories—outstanding writing, after all, is the hallmark of Akashic’s long-running, world-circling Noir series, now weighing in at 122 titles—and readers may well find themselves spending a lot of time in this fictional Honolulu, savoring the atmosphere and flavor of each tale before moving on to the next. A splendid anthology.”
–Booklist
Lou Berney, Double Barrel Bluff
(William Morrow)
“Virtually every character is memorable, and the chemistry between Shake and Gina is brilliant. The plot turns are constant, and the dialogue is sharp. The bad guys are wonderfully scary, and the locales are vividly drawn. Elmore Leonard might be very pleased to call Gutshot Straight his own.”
–Booklist
Emma Cook, You Can’t Hurt Me
(Hanover Square)
Cook keeps readers on their toes in her exhilarating debut… When the reveals finally come, they’re richly satisfying. Rarely has the frustration of not knowing who to trust been so much fun.
–Publishers Weekly
Katherine Greene, The Lake of Lost Girls
(Crooked Lane)
“A tense, psychological thriller, that starts off fast and never lets up.”
–Red Carpet Crash
Joyce Carol Oates, Flint Kill Creek
(Mysterious Press)
“There are no happy endings . . . yet, in thrall to a master manipulator of words, readers will grit their teeth and turn another page in this collection. The stories in Flint Kill Creek are unforgettable.”
–NY Journal of Books
Shelley Burr, Murder Town
(William Morrow)
“A masterclass in pace, plot, character and creeping unease.”
–Bookseller
Elizabeth Hobbs, Misery Hates Company
(Crooked Lane)
“A humdinger introduction to a new series whose characters bring to mind those of both Emily Brontë and L.M. Montgomery.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Phillip Margolin, An Insignificant Case
(Minotaur)
“Margolin deals out the complications as deftly as a card shark… An inventive legal thriller.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Tessa Wegert, The Coldest Case
(Severn House)
“Atmospheric . . . Series fans will be satisfied.”
