Art Taylor recommends

Crime Under the Sun (2023)
Matt Coyle, Naomi Hirahara and Tammy Kaehler
"It may be a cliché to say an anthology has something for all readers, but Crime Under the Sun delivers in full. From cozy and quirky to gimlet-eyed and hard-boiled and with more than a couple of sides of tense and chilling. Story to story, I was delighted, thrilled, amused, and amazed."

The Greenleaf Murders (2022)
(Historic Homes Mystery, book 1)
R J Koreto
"...R.J. Koreto proves himself a master craftsman throughout, with a keen eye for all the right details."

The Faking of the President (2020)
Peter Carlaftes
"The Faking of the President is a wild, rollicking ride through the corridors of power both past and present. These stories are dark, humorous and thoughtful; they take the presidency and its environs and turn it into a fun house of noirish story-telling. Get this book and read it during the presidential campaign to help keep your head on straight."
