Lynn Hightower recommends

Silent Came the Monster (2023)
Amy Hill Hearth
"Silent Came the Monster is chilling, thrilling, and fun. A great white shark with a taste for hunting humans in this turn-of-the-century setting makes for a fabulous read."

Killing Floor (1997)
(Jack Reacher, book 1)
Lee Child
"This is a kick-ass first novel by the very talented Lee Child. Hero Jack Reacher has presence and dimension - a man you definitely want on your side. Child has a sure touch and a strong voice. Definitely a talent to watch."
