The Life and Death of Rose Doucette (2024)
Harry Hunsicker
"The Life and Death of Rose Doucette not only kept me captivated until the very end, but also reminded me why I fell in love with the PI genre. Shades of noir and the Golden Age of detective fiction wrapped up into a thrilling, modern-day, edge-of-your-seat read. Let's hope this isn't the last case for Private Investigator Dylan Fisher."

Killing Icarus (2021)
Paul Kemprecos
"Art historian Abi Vickers is an intriguing and refreshing heroine, and Killing Icarus is a fast-paced blend of mystery and suspense set upon the idyllic Cape Cod coast-which leaves me with one question for author Paul Kemprecos: When is the next Abi Vickers book coming out?"
thumb
The Sail (2019)
(Great Lakes Saga, book 2)
Landon Beach
"This book has it all. Landon Beach combines the emotional and heartwarming journey between father and son with a taut, tense thriller set in the hauntingly beautiful waters of Lake Superior. Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water..."
