Marisa Kashino, Best Offer Wins
(Celadon)
“Author Kashino, a longtime journalist who covered the real estate market for the Washington Post and Washingtonian magazine, has created in Margo a character as vicious and conniving as the jilted lover played by Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction…Deliciously dark and twistedly funny.”
―Kirkus Reviews
Mike Lupica, Robert B. Parker’s Showdown
(Putnam)
“Author Lupica faithfully maintains the atmosphere and characters that Parker created. Good fun for Spenser’s legion of fans.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Victor Manibo, The Villa, Once Beloved
(Erewhon)
“For all its beauty, no saints, no heroes, no angels inhabit this villa — only ghosts and secrets. Manibo has crafted a pitch-perfect modern gothic, in which the personal is political and there is no such thing as the past: only facets of a dangerous and suffocating present.”
–Premee Mohamed
Vanessa Kelly, Murder at Donwell Abbey
(Kensington)
“Plenty of interesting, Austen-inspired characters make for a charming read.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Kathy Bingham Turner and Leon Alligood, Boss Brooks: A True Story of Fraud, Family, and Forgiveness from Tennessee to Texas
(University of Tennessee Press)
“The book is full of compelling details . . . A fascinating story of deception and loyalty.”
–Kirkus Reviews
