The Arizona Triangle (2024)
(Jo Bailen Detective, book 1)
Sydney Graves
"Oh, goody goody! A new mystery series, with a smart, complicated sleuth, great writing, and a can't-guess-the-killer plot. What's not to love?"
thumb
Bad Animals (2024)
Sarah Braunstein
"Bad Animals kept me up all night for its gorgeous prose, its breathtaking insights into human nature, and its fresh, original page-turning plot. What a triumph."
thumb
The Hidden Life of Cecily Larson (2024)
Ellen Baker
"Ellen Baker has written the quintessential escape novel, whose overflowing plot involves three generations of women, family secrets, a one-ring circus (really), and the pleasure of historical flashbacks. Light a fire and settle in."
