Amanda Chapman, Mrs Christie at the Mystery Guild Library
(Berkley)
“Fans of the Queen of Crime will delight in this modernized classic mystery, heavily laden with Christie lore.” —Kirkus
Hayley Gelfuso, The Book of Lost Hours
(Simon & Schuster)
“A meditation on time, memory, and history, encased in a heart-pounding, cold-war spy thriller, wound tight around a sweeping story of love, family, and fate…” —Daria Lavelle, author of Aftertaste
Steph Post, Holding Smoke
(Datura)
“Terrific…A born storyteller, Post expertly weaves these disparate plot strands into a wholly satisfying if inevitable ending.”― Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
Ave Barrera, Restoration
translated by Ellen Jones and Robin Myers
(Charco)
“Restoration is a thriller, not only thematically but—equally powerful—stylistically.” –Literal: Latin American Voices
Monique Asher, The Red Knot
(Rising Action)
“The Red Knot is a missing persons flyer stapled straight onto your psyche, where Monique Asher offers a reward for any information leading to the whereabouts of the reader’s sanity. Spoiler: There’s no getting it back once you finish this gritty, twisty, true-crimey cult cosmic shocker of a novel.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
Tim Lebbon, Secret Lives of the Dead
(Titan)
“Secret Lives of the Dead is a career-defining novel, the product of almost 30 years of a gifted author honing their craft.” –Ginger Nuts of Horror
Penny Zang, Doll Parts
(Sourcebooks Landmark)
“Zang’s compelling debut delves insightfully into topics such as friendship, grief, and Plath’s place in literature as well as exploring the dangers of romanticizing suicide…Book group clubbers will come for the thoughtful exploration of serious themes, while fans in search of character-rich, academia-set suspense tales will enjoy the twisty plot.” — Library Journal
Anders de la Motte, The Glass Man
(Atria/Emily Bestler)
“[A] tightly plotted narrative that blurs the line between the rational and the uncanny. The novel excels at atmosphere — underground labs, crumbling observatories, secretive families — and at exploring the emotional wreckage Leo carries from childhood. Tense, strange and elegantly eerie, THE GLASS MAN leaves readers questioning what lies just outside the reach of understanding.” – Seattle Times
Joshua Hull, 8114
(CLASH)
“Drawing on a screenwriting pedigree, Hull crafts a hauntingly cinematic horror experience—where simmering psychological dread meets spectral mystery, pulling you deep into a world you won’t soon escape.” —Cinema Chords
Ellie Brannigan, Death at an Irish Village
(Crooked Lane)
“In addition to a murder with surprising suspects, Brannigan supplies historical tidbits and back-and-forth romance.” —Kirkus Reviews
