(Lily Adler Mystery, book 5)
Katharine Schellman
"A perfect London crime novel...fast paced. experty researched, and intrigately plotted."
thumb
The Framed Women of Ardemore House (2024)
(Netherleigh Mystery)
Brandy Schillace
"The Framed Women of Ardemore House kept me awake, reading and guessing and anxiously turning pages all night. This book is intricately plotted and thematically rich; it's frightening, funny, and fast-paced, with characters I grew to really care about. I'll be recommending it to every mystery reader I know."
thumb
Knock Knock, Open Wide (2023)
Neil Sharpson
"Genuinely terrifying, the sort of book you shut away in the freezer at night so it won't come looking for you. That is, if you can put it down. Knock Knock, Open Wide deservedly places Neil Sharpson at the front rank of modern horror writers. Open wide, if you dare, and read."
