Stephen King, Holly
(Scribner)
“A tour de force. Creepy as hell but full of heart, too.”
–Linwood Barclay
Craig Johnson, The Longmire Defense
(Viking)
“[A] standout . . . The whodunit, which presents a dizzying number of red herrings, is one of Johnson’s trickiest, keeping readers deliciously off-balance throughout. Series newcomers will have no problem jumping into the action, and longtime readers will relish the dive into Longmire’s family history.”
–Publishers Weekly
Kaira Rouda, Beneath the Surface
(Thomas & Mercer)
“When the wealthy patriarch of a family business invites his children on a trip from Newport Beach to Catalina Island aboard his new yacht, Rouda fans will know to buckle their seat belts…. King Lear goes to the beach. Yes.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Sarah Bonner, Her Sweet Revenge
(Grand Central)
“A twisty novel, where nothing is to be believed, no one is to be trusted, and more turns that you can keep track up. This is the second novel from author Sarah Bonner, and it’s another home run, you will need a scorecard to keep track. Fans of psychological thrillers will eat this one up.”
–RedCarpetCrash.com
Laura Shepherd-Robinson, The Square of Sevens
(Atria)
“A reminder that Laura Shepherd-Robinson is riding high in the historical crime stakes….a sprawling epic novel.”
–Financial Times
Lauren Muñoz, Suddenly a Murder
(Putnam Young Readers)
“Alongside the central mystery, the author successfully explores a host of serious issues, including substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and the armor of socioeconomic privilege…. An un-put-down-able, bittersweet whodunit.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Jilly Gagnon, Scenes of the Crime
(Bantam)
“The Gothic setting of Jilly Gagnon’s Scenes of the Crime—an isolated, exclusive winery on the Oregon coast—provides the perfect backdrop for this absorbing, meta-fictional variation on a locked-room mystery, full of pointed observations about class, money, and the inherent competition that lies beneath many female friendships…”
–Joanna Margaret
Yasmin Angoe, It Ends with Knight
(Thomas & Mercer)
“Watch your back, Liam Neeson. This avenger is tough.”
–Kirkus Reviews
James R. Benn, Proud Sorrows
(Soho)
“Masterful . . . Benn combines the best elements of traditional small-town mysteries and WWII thrillers, developing a firm sense of place and never letting the suspense flag. This long-running series shows no signs of fatigue.”
–Publishers Weekly
Melanie Golding, The Sight
(Crooked Lane)
“Shattering . . . A fairy tale–tinged thriller.”
—Kirkus Reviews
