Paul Doiron recommends
thumb
Lay This Body Down (2023)
(Gideon Stoltz Mystery, book 3)
Charles Fergus
"Strong, well-drawn characters, rich attention to natural detail, and a haunting narrative make this a series to get excited about."
thumb
The Second Mother (2020)
Jenny Milchman
"Jenny Milchman is one of the best suspense writers at work today, and The Second Mother is a page turner extraordinaire. Milchman takes the nostalgic daydream of teaching in a one-room schoolhouse and turns it ever so slowly into an urgent nightmare. That the story is set on a remote island off the coast of Maine - one of the most claustrophobic places a stranger can ever set foot - is an added bonus."
thumb
Winter at the Door (2015)
(Lizzie Snow Mystery, book 1)
Sarah Graves
"With Winter at the Door, Sarah Graves has pulled off a small miracle. Through artfully precise language and a plot that kept me turning pages well past my bedtime, she transported me to a North Woods village that seemed utterly real in the vividness of its details and yet almost dreamlike. I got out my map of Maine, looking for the backwoods town of Bearkill, and was surprised when I couldn’t find it. What a fantastic setting, and what a great character in Lizzie Snow. I can’t wait for the next book."
