10 PHOTOS
1. Rebecca Roque, Till Human Voices Wake Us
(Blackstone)
“Debut author Roque confidently weaves together dynamic characters with complex histories to riveting effect.”
–Publishers Weekly
2. Ian Ferguson and Will Ferguson, I Only Read Murder
(MIRA)
“The brothers Ferguson pull out all the comedic stops, taking on Hollywood elitism, community theater, and small-town quirkiness in a fast-paced, lighthearted murder mystery…readers will enjoy following the hilariously inept Miranda as she tries to solve the crime in this promising series starter.”
–Booklist
3. Christoffer Carlsson, Under the Storm
(Hogarth)
“When the body of a young woman was discovered in an incinerated farmhouse in 1994, resolution was swift—it was murder, her boyfriend did it, case closed. But for the boyfriend’s nephew, Isak; the arresting officer, Vidar Jörgensson; and the entire community of Marbäck, closure is a myth about to be shattered.”
–Sarah Weinman, The New York Times
4. C.J. Cooke, A Haunting in the Arctic
(Berkley)
“An unnerving tale full of ghosts, selkies and plenty of mystery, which Cooke deploys not only to craft the novel’s frights but also to probe ideas of grief and retribution…haunting.”
–The New York Times
5. CJ Box, Three-Inch Teeth
(G.P. Putnams)
“Franchise fans will appreciate new details about Joe’s complicated family, the obligatory high-country landscapes, and yet another corrupt law enforcer… [E]asy to swallow in a single gulp.”
–Kirkus Reviews
6. Thomas Mullen, The Rumor Game
(Minotaur)
“Time and again, Mullen’s suspenseful storytelling pulls us forward.”
–The New York Times Book Review
7. Jessica Bull, Miss Austen Investigates
(Union Square)
“Bull’s Jane is an endearingly clumsy detective, equal parts clever and impulsive, and the investigation contains the kind of high stakes that similar breezy historicals often lack. This series seems destined for a long run.”
–Publishers Weekly
8. Maurice Carlos Ruffin, The American Daughters
(One World)
“A high adventure, a revealing history, and a chronicle of one woman’s self-realization. Ruffin also displays some of the cunning imagination and caustic wit he showed in his previous work by interspersing his narrative with imagined transcripts from the past, present, and even the future. Black women as agents—literally—of their own liberation. Who wouldn’t be inspired?”
–Kirkus Reviews
9. A.J. Tata, The Phalanx Code
(St. Martin’s)
“Lots of credible action, plenty of government traitors, and shocking losses fuel the action. Tata continues to rise among the ranks of today’s top military action writers.”
–Publishers Weekly
10. A.J. Landau, Leave No Trace
(Minotaur)
“Leave No Trace is an expertly crafted gut-punch thriller. The action leaves you aghast, always guessing, and very glad you read it. A.J. Landau takes no prisoners when it comes to high-octane, fast-moving storytelling.”
–Michael Connelly
