E A Aymar recommends

Necessary Deeds (2024)
Mark Wish
"Smart, exceptionally told, and a pleasure to read, this mystery by Mark Wish is complemented by dialogue brimming with emotional insights, whether about the foreboding passion between a man and a woman, or the rage of a wounded husband."
thumb
The Lower Power (2024)
Michele W Miller
"Whether from the viewpoint of a recovering or hopelessly lost addict, a concerned policeman, a relentless journalist or the other citizens of New York that live and breathe within the pages of Michele W. Miller's The Lower Power, the writing never delivers less than rich characters or a story of increasing urgency. This is a harsh but necessary novel of crime and addiction and violence, and the effects they have on those who are powerless...and the beauty in power being discovered."

A Likeable Woman (2023)
May Cobb
"Filled with the searing insight and emotional complexity..along with a brisk pace that will keep any reader invested until the final page is turned. A unique and necessary voice in crime fiction, and one unafraid to go into our most private thoughts and darkest desires."
