Ausma Zehanat Khan recommends
Not the Killing Kind (2024)
Maria Kelson
"A brilliant and thoughtful multi-layered crime novel. With a first-rate plot and pacing, it drives you to its propulsive ending, to determine the guilt or innocence of a young man whose secrets and silence keep him a mystery to the woman who adopted him. But on deeper examination and in vividly imaginative prose, it also portrays the struggles of marginalized Latinx communities with sensitivity and grace, while illuminating the complex connection between a mother and son whose bond is put to the test. Maria Kelson's stunning debut is utterly riveting and represents a brave new voice in crime fiction."
Three Holidays and a Wedding (2023)
Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley
"This delightful romance will have your heart humming with happiness: sweet, tender and joyful, it brings the magic of the holidays alive. An uplifting and inclusive celebration."
The Revenge List (2023)
Hannah Mary McKinnon
"A pulse-pounding thriller with a riveting, take-no-prisoners heroine whose forgiveness list takes a murderous turn. If you've done Frankie wrong, watch out!"
