Andrew Child, Lee Child, Better Off Dead
(Delacorte Press)
“The Child brothers’ superb second collaboration (after 2020’s The Sentinel) opens one night at a remote spot on the U.S.-Mexico border, where “the stranger,” a large, tall man many will assume is Jack Reacher, has arrived for a meeting.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review
James Kestral, Five Decembers
(Hard Case Crime)
“Hardboiled fiction at its best: an exceptional tale, filled with emotion.”
Library Journal, starred review
Erin Mayer, Fan Club

“Erin Mayer bursts onto the scene as a fresh new voice with something to say. . . . Fan Club lays bare the terrible destiny of a society obsessed with social media stalking and celebrity relationships that exist only through the glow of a screen.”
Julia Heaberlin
Nicci French, The Unheard
(William Morrow)
“Expertly paced, psychologically sharp, thoroughly enjoyable.”
Louise Candlish

Cherie Priest, Grave Reservations
(Atria)
“[A] frothy blend of paranormal cozy and off-the-books police procedural… Readers will hope this is the start of a series.”
Publishers Weekly
Lee Goldberg, Gated Prey
(Thomas and Mercer)
“The seamy side of California dreaming…Goldberg not only ties up…but links some of Eve’s investigations in ways as disturbing as they are surprising.”
Kirkus Reviews
Kat Martin, The Last Goodnight
(Kensington)
“In the first of a new series of romantic thrillers, chap-wearing rancher Kade Logan meets his “darlin’,” undercover agent Eleanor Bowman.”
Kirkus Reviews
Beatriz Williams, The Wicked Widow
(William Morrow)

Elin Hilderbrand
Kate Kingsbury, In Hot Water
