Memorials (2024)
Richard Chizmar
"Richard Chizmar is a gifted writer. His books work on a primal level and I look forward to reading whatever he writes."
Don't Let the Devil Ride (2024)
Ace Atkins
"Anyone who has read Ace Atkins knows he's diabolically talented, but his latest goes beyond crackling wit and whip-smart storytelling. Don't Let the Devil Ride combines meaty questions about the lies we build to protect ourselves - and what happens when those lies collapse - with a masterfully crafted plot and seductive Southern setting to create a novel that sings."
What Happened to Nina? (2024)
Dervla McTiernan
"What Happened to Nina is one of the best thrillers I have ever read. It is an unforgettable and deeply moving read that takes the concept of how far would you go for your child and turns the volume up so high the dial breaks. Dervla McTiernan is a wickedly gifted writer and she brings a documentary realism to every page of this unforgettable and scary in a good way novel. You will tell your friends about What Happened to Nina. You will tell everybody about What Happened To Nina."
