Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks.

Janice Hallett, The Killer Question
(Atria)
“Fiendishly clever.”—The Christian Science Monitor
A Rushby, Slashed Beauties
(Berkley)
“Rushby takes readers on a globe-trotting, timeline-straddling journey…brisk and entertaining… Rushby’s characters are richly realized, and she doesn’t shy away from depicting the high risk of their lives as sex workers or society’s cruelty and indifference toward women on the margins. Tense and fast-paced with refreshingly unique supernatural elements.”—Publishers Weekly
James R Benn, A Bitter Wind
(Soho Crime)
“Espionage and tensions among allies animate Benn’s outstanding latest Billy Boyle mystery.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
Joan O’Leary, Killer Wedding
(William Morrow)
“Fans of The White Lotus and Knives Out will gobble up this whip-smart whodunit… Good luck solving this especially twisty mystery before the big reveal—you’ll need it.”—Marie Claire
Tina Makereti, The Mires
(HarperVia)
“An immersive, unnerving novel about the hatred that can rise up out of the locked, curtained rooms in our neighborhoods, and the comfort that can be found in another’s home.” — Becky Manawatu, author of Aue and Bones Bay
Michelle Chouinard, A Tour to Die For
(Minotaur)
“Chouinard’s lively style keeps the story moving and takes readers on a tour of San Francisco . . . [an] intriguing mystery.” –Library Journal
Sara Ackerman, The Guest in Room 120
(MIRA)
“Ackerman skillfully entwines [three] stories, combining the true-life mystery of Stanford’s murder, historical details of early-twentieth-century Hawai’i and its dichotomy of wealth and poverty, and a romance between writers with complex backstories. An enthralling read.”
—Booklist
Katie Tietjen, Murder in Miniature
(Crooked Lane)
“Exceptionally fast-paced from cover to cover.”
—Gumshoe Review
Teagan Olivia King, Spit Back the Bones
(Keylight)
“Emotional and atmospheric, Spit Back the Bones is dripping in heady bog water. You’ll never look at black flies the same way again.” –Saratoga Schaefer, author of Serial Killer Support Group and Traditional Wife
