Peter Swanson recommends
thumb
The Arizona Triangle (2024)
(Jo Bailen Detective, book 1)
Sydney Graves
"The Arizona Triangle is a taut, propulsive, and darkly funny modern noir. And Jo Bailen, the complex protagonist of this twisted Arizona whodunit, is a welcome addition to the pantheon of sleuths with big appetites and bulldog instincts. Gritty entertainment at its best."
thumb
The Stolen Coast (2023)
Dwyer Murphy
"Set in the grimy seaside milieu of Massachusetts' south coast, The Stolen Coast is a riveting heist thriller, witty and lyrical and tough."
thumb
The Senator's Wife (2023)
Liv Constantine
"Liv Constantine's The Senator's Wife is filled with secrets and switchbacks, cleverly concealing its best surprises for the final pages."
