Tori Eldridge, The Ninja Betrayed
(Agora Books)
“Eldridge’s series just keeps getting better. While readers can enjoy this book without having read the first two, a series highlight is Lily’s evolution and the complexity and growth of her relationships. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy strong heroines forging their own paths.”

Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Vito Racanelli, The Man in Milan
(Polis)
“The Man in Milan is a refreshing yet gritty thriller. Vito Racanelli has produced a superb combination in Rossi and Turner, and readers will want to see more of them. Throw in a shocking airline disaster with a despicable motive behind it, and you have a gripping novel that deserves to be a hit.”
Bookreporter
Liane Moriarty, Apples Never Fall
(Henry Holt)
“Combines domestic realism and noirish mystery. . . . The structure follows the pattern of Big Little Lies by setting up a mystery and then jumping months into the past to unravel it. Funny, sad, astute, occasionally creepy, and slyly irresistible.”
Kirkus Reviews, starred review

(Sourcebooks)
“This vengeful tale that pits artistic genius against mental health and happiness will captivate fans of dark suspense.”
Library Journal, starred review

“Thornton’s latest blends Cold War espionage thriller and biographical fiction into an engaging, difficult-to-put down story that readers will savor.”
Booklist
