Justin Cronin recommends

The Puzzle Master (2023)
(Mike Brink, book 1)
Danielle Trussoni
"Utterly absorbing . . . The 'master' of the title isn't the only master here. The word applies equally to the author of this fabulous novel."

We Are the Light (2022)
Matthew Quick
"Matthew Quick's We Are the Light is a treasure of a novel - wise, humane, and deeply moving. Whoever you are, whatever trials you've faced in life, read it and be healed."

Upgrade (2022)
Blake Crouch
"The incomparable Blake Crouch has, once again, completely blown my mind. Upgrade is more than a brain-bending thriller; it's a siren in the night, warning us all of the dangers of playing God with the human species."
