Kate Brody recommends
Coram House (2025)
Bailey Seybolt
"Coram House is the perfect thriller - the kind you race to finish and simultaneously hope will never end. It checked every box for me: relatable amateur sleuth; lush, gothic setting; mystery spanning from past to present; and - no small feat - a surprising, inevitable, perfectly satisfying ending. This debut marks the entrance of a thriller writer to watch. I can tell already I'll be following Bailey Seybolt the way I follow Tana French. I can't wait to see what she writes next."
Nothing Serious (2025)
Emily J Smith
"This is the modern, feminist dating world thriller I've been waiting for. I tore through Nothing Serious over a single weekend. It's a fast-paced story with characters so fully realized they linger in your mind long after the central mystery has been resolved. Smith paints a fresh and honest portrait of 30-something life that is as hopeful as it is clear-eyed about the trap of 'having it all.' I know that this is a novel my friends and I will be referencing for years to come."
In a Dark Mirror (2024)
Kat Davis
"Kat Davis mines a sensational true crime story for something unsettling and deeply human in this potent novel about girls searching for their places in the world and finding something sinister instead. In a Dark Mirror asks uncomfortable questions about the paper-thin boundaries between our best and worst selves, and it paints a picture of adolescence so tender I had to look away at times. Davis's prose is gorgeous and unflinching. She deftly weaves timelines and perspectives to examine the way lives, families, and entire communities are affected by horrors big and small. I tore through In a Dark Mirror in under 24 hours, but I know it will linger in the shadows of my mind for a long time to come."
