Those Who Knew – Idra Novey
As usual, Idra Novey's prose is sharp and striking. However, while Those Who Knew starts with the promise of a taut political thriller, the narrative quickly goes slack.
One Night Gone – Tara Laskowski
Tara Laskowski’s debut thriller, One Night Gone, takes a well-timed swing at how society has and still treats women like their disposable.
Body Broker – Daniel M. Ford
In a genre filled with trigger-happy private eyes, Jack Dixon’s talk first, throw some punches, and shoot never mentality is refreshing.
We Were Liars – E. Lockhart
Through these three simple statements, Lockhart sets a relentless and cyclic tone for her novel that shows the extremes of grief and how it is process both individually and across multiple generations.
Where The Crawdads Sing – Delia Owens
With piercing images and raw emotion Owens challenges readers to judge for themselves whether or not Kya is capable of murder.
