Raquel V. Reyes, Barbacoa, Bomba, and Betrayal
(Crooked Lane)
“Crime and cuisine really do mix.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Ausma Zehanat Khan, Blood Betrayal
(Minotaur)
“Richly drawn characters and nuanced depictions of contemporary policing make this a winner. Readers will be eager to hear more from Inaya soon.”
–Publishers Weekly
Michael Connelly, Resurrection Walk
(Little, Brown)
“A stunning combination of police and legal procedural. . . As always, Connelly makes the tedious work of investigation fascinating as he shuttles between Mickey’s and Harry’s hard-bitten points of view.”
–Booklist
Charles Cumming, Kennedy 35
(Mysterious Press)
“A compelling exploration of the consequences of realpolitik and the intermingling of the personal with the political.”
–The Guardian
Gilly Macmillan, The Manor House
(William Morrow)
“Macmillan is such a good writer that we’re constantly guessing, believing one thing and then another, right up until the book’s final moments. A treat for the author’s fans, and, for those who are new to her, a wonderful introduction to this fine writer.”
–Booklist
Chris Brookmyre, The Cliff House
(Scarlet)
“Brookmyre keeps the pages turning on the way to a stunning climax, offering ample opportunity for each of his characters to exhibit unexpected levels of grit and grace along the way. It’s exhilarating fun.”
–Publishers Weekly
David Swinson, Sweet Thing
(Mulholland)
“Brisk, punchy chapters, dead-on dialogue, and an insider knowledge of law enforcement elevate Sweet Thing into a higher realm of fiction, a space where genres blur and the line between good and evil spins like a siren in the night. Swinson is a modern master of lean, no-frills, throwback noir.”
–Eli Cranor
Andreina Cordani, The Twelve Days of Murder
(Pegasus)
“Told from multiple points of view, this compelling, complex, page-turning locked-room mystery is set in both the past and the present and is chock full of plot twists.”
–Booklist
Sara James, Last Night at the Hollywood Canteen
(Sourcebooks)
“Brilliantly captures the essence of Hollywood’s golden era…a thrilling exploration of ambition, jealousy, and the dark side of glamour. With engaging characters, a captivating setting, and a relentlessly twisty-turny plot, it’s a must-read for fans of both classic whodunits and modern suspense.”
–Booklist
