Stephen Spotswood, Secrets Typed in Blood
(Doubleday)
“This mystery, the third in a series, is as winning as its predecessors. Here, the famous P.I. Lillian Pentecost and her spiky junior partner, Willowjean ‘Will’ Parker, immerse themselves in the seedy milieu of pulp magazines, circa 1947. The novel reads as easy as fine whiskey goes down.”
–The New York Times Book Review
Amber Garza, A Mother Would Know
(MIRA)
“[P]ropulsive….Combining high drama with issues—aging, sibling rivalry, the shadow of past mistakes—to which most readers can relate, Garza keeps the fast-paced plot twists going into the book’s final pages. Fans of smart, female-centered thrillers will love this.”
–Publishers Weekly
Oscar de Muriel, The Sign of the Devil
(Orion)
“Properly creepy and Gothic.”
–Ian Rankin
Keigo Higashino, (transl. Giles Murray), A Death in Tokyo
(Minotaur)
“A Death in Tokyo is another mind-bending mystery from the modern master of classic crime, finalist for both an Edgar Award and a CWA Dagger, the internationally bestselling Keigo Higashino.”
–Bookreporter
Vaseem Khan, The Lost Man of Bombay
(Hodder and Stoughton)
“‘Hugely entertaining … history and mystery mixed with brutal slapstick, thwarted romance and sly humour… If only all period procedurals were as good as this.”
–The Times (UK)
