Rebecca Cantrell recommends

Hell's Detective (2017)
Michael Logan
"Michael Logan has created a sinfully good noir mystery. Think Raymond Chandler meets Stephen King. Highly recommended!"
thumb
Hack (2013)
(F.X. Shepherd, book 1)
Kieran Crowley
"HACK is a witty and incisive mystery set in the raucous world of tabloid journalism. Laugh out loud funny and suspenseful--it's like Jack Reacher meets Jack Black."
thumb
Paris to Die For (2011)
(Jackie Bouvier, book 1)
Maxine Kenneth
"Paris to Die For is a frothy romp through the City of Light with a determined young Jackie Bouvier. It goes down with a tickle, like a fine champagne."
