Owen Laukkanen recommends
Adrift (2023)
Lisa Brideau
"A marvelously inventive page-turner that marks Brideau as a legitimate rising star."
Tower of Babel (2021)
(Queens Mystery, book 1)
Michael Sears
"Michael Sears is a born storyteller, whose sardonic wit, documentarian's eye for detail, and unflagging sense of empathy I've long admired. Tower of Babel is another crackerjack entry into his catalogue, an intricate, original, and more-than-a-little-seedy underdog story that kept me up long past my bedtime, my palms sweaty and my every nerve on edge as I raced through the pages toward the climactic--and wholly satisfying--throwdown. Sears is a master at creating tension; once this book sinks its hooks into you, it won't let you go."
South of the Deuce (2020)
(Sean Richardson, book 4)
James L Thane
"An expertly-plotted page turner that kept me on tenterhooks until the pulse-pounding finale."
