Maria Hummel recommends
The Midnight Club (2024)
Margot Harrison
"When old college friends gather, the past comes, too. Savvy, suspenseful, and surprisingly tender, Margot Harrison's The Midnight Club takes the classic murder-reunion trope and transforms it into a reflection on friendship and surviving our youth. With each twist, this marvelously inventive novel will keep you guessing whodunnit--but also who couldn't stop it, and why."
The Cloisters (2022)
Katy Hays
"Prepare to lose your entire afternoon to The Cloisters, first for its atmosphere, a medieval museum at the tip of Manhattan, and then to pursuing a young scholar in her search for an ancient tarot deck, while keeping a sharp eye on the brilliant, attractive colleagues who may be out to help her or kill her. Good luck staying ahead of this one and have a great time poring over the many treasures inside."
The Latinist (2022)
Mark Prins
"With its ambitious young scholar, an ancient tomb, and a scheming advisor, The Latinist is a twisty and memorable new addition to the campus-novel genre. Mark Prins propels you through his tale of breakthroughs and retribution while delivering a sharp commentary on power dynamics in academia. A cunning and insightful read-I couldn't put it down."
