James W Ziskin recommends
Leave the Lights on (2023)
Liv Andersson
"A poetic inevitability emerges from the dark, secret past of damaged lives forever linked. Taut and, at turns, haunting and terrifying, Liv Andersson's Leave the Lights On twists and turns then twists again, defying readers' expectations and assumptions about naivete, betrayal, and revenge. Beatrice Wicker is a compellingly imperfect heroine, whose very survival depends on cunning and endurance in a decades-long game of hide-and-seek. Tense, chilling, and absorbing, Leave the Lights On is a superb psychological thriller."
Pesticide (2022)
(Linder and Donatelli Mystery, book 1)
Kim Hays
"Giuliana Linder and Renzo Donatelli make for one of the sharpest, most compelling police duos you'll ever read. Their conflicted attraction bristles with true emotional depth and poignancy as they lead a rich ensemble cast through the surprisingly nefarious world of organic politics. A remarkable procedural set in Bern, Kim Hays's Pesticide is Switzerland's answer to Scandinavian noir. Fresh and oh so readable, you won't want to put it down."
Cover Your Tracks (2020)
Daco S Auffenorde
"Daco S. Auffenorde's thrilling Cover Your Tracks unspools a relentless crescendo of menace and doubt. A chilling tale of damaged souls, iron wills, and dark obsession. Two strangers--a resourceful ex-soldier and a pregnant doctor--must trust each other to reach safety after their train is swept down a remote mountain by an avalanche. Survival as a team sport."
