Vanessa Lillie, For the Best
(Thomas and Mercer)

“For the Best is a riveting story of a woman who is accused of murder and launches her own investigation. Plotted to perfection, the events of that night unfold in a series of shocking and disturbing twists. A clever, captivating book you need on your list.”
–Samantha Downing

Ruth Ware, One by One
(Gallery Scout)

“Especially timely, given that the terror of isolation is at its heart… This is And Then There Were None rendered for the twenty-first century.”
–Booklist

Bradford Morrow, The Forger’s Daughter
(Mysterious Press)

“Evocatively rendered and emotionally resonant, this literary crime novel is the real deal. Morrow’s gothic tale bears comparison with Poe’s own work.”
–Publishers Weekly

Robert Saviano, Savage Kiss
(FSG)

“There’s not an ounce of Mario Puzo’s romanticism in this grimly riveting tale of crime and punishment.”
–Kirkus

Steven Dudley, MS-13: The Making of America’s Most Notorious Gang
(Hanover Square)

“Steven Dudley’s great contribution in this landmark account of MS-13 is to take a subject that has been sensationalized and mythologized and politicized beyond recognition and, through painstaking reporting and clear-eyed analysis, capture a truth that is less exotic—but more fascinating—than the headlines.”
–Patrick Radden Keefe

Christina Henry, The Ghost Tree
(Berkley)

“Henry writes with a keen eye for detail, drawing readers into the disturbing world with pitch-perfect ’80s nostalgia and plenty of eerie atmospherics.”
–Publishers Weekly

Ilaria Tuti, The Sleeping Nymph
(Soho Crime)

“A sprawling, ambitious thriller for readers with a taste for florid invention and broad strokes of the supernatural.”
–Kirkus Reviews

Ovidia Yu, The Mimosa Tree Mystery
(Constable & Robinson)

“Simply glorious. Every nook and cranny of 1930s Singapore is brought richly to life.”
–Catriona McPherson

August Norman, Sins of the Mother (Crooked Lane)

“Action-loving readers are the real winners in this offbeat thriller.”
–Kirkus

Ellen Hart, In a Midnight Wood (Minotaur)

“[E]legantly plotted . . . Hart builds tension by alternating chapters focused on Jane and friends in the present with those showing Sam and his schoolmates in 1999. Each new glimpse of the past alters readers’ understanding of the present. This complex mystery will satisfy newcomers and longtime fans alike.”
–Publishers Weekly
