Excerpts

Arsenic and Adobo

Mia P. Manansala

"My name is Lila Macapagal and my life has become a rom-com cliché."


The Killings at Kingfisher Hill

Sophie Hannah

"After making her astonishing announcement, the woman with the unfinished face clammed up so determinedly that further debate proved impossible. Ignoring the outraged splutterings of Alfred Bixby (“The very idea, M. Poirot! A murder on a Kingfisher Coach Company motor-coach? Such a thing would never happen!”), Poirot ordered the driver to stop so that he could take the unhappy woman outside and attempt to get to the bottom of it all."


The Sleeping Nymph

Ilaria Tutti

"The sun cut sideways into Massimo Marini’s face, drawing out a blaze of color as it filtered through his brown eyelashes."


Interference

Brad Parks

"Around three o’clock, I was finally permitted to enter Matt’s room."


One Step Behind

Lauren North

"The conviction rate for stalkers is less than15 percent."


“Weapon of Choice”

Susanna Kearsley

"He never would tire of watching her sleep."


Chaos

Iris Johansen

"Alisa could see Korgan sitting in the study at his desk drinking a cup of coffee as she paused near the bottom of the staircase."

Thick As Thieves

Sandra Brown

"Up to this point, the two months since the loss of the baby had been busy, but discouragingly unproductive. She hoped this call on L. Burnet would change that."

Wendy Corsi Staub

"The city that had snoozed well past dawn on New Year’s yesterday has resumed humming with hyperactivity."
