Karin Slaughter recommends
thumb
The Oligarch's Daughter (2025)
Joseph Finder
"A pitch-perfect spy novel - flawless pacing, richly drawn characters, and a plot that never quits. These pages practically turn themselves."
thumb
The Note (2025)
Alafair Burke
"With The Note, Alafair Burke ups her already strong game of deviously smart plotting and strong, believable female characters to deliver her most thrilling and entertaining novel."
thumb
Our Kind of Game (2024)
Johanna Copeland
"A riveting and suspenseful debut. Copeland's contemporary take on the balance of power in relationships, and the desire for control, is not to be missed."
