Admin_99 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. * John Darnielle, Devil House (MCD x FSG) “Devil House is terrific: confident, creepy, a powerful and soulful page-turner. I had no idea where it was going, in the best possible sense…It’s never quite the book you think it is. It’s better.” Dwight Garner, The New York Times Janice Hallett, The Appeal (Atria) “[I]ngeniously plotted…Hallett skillfully lays an intricate and twisty trail of bread crumbs that leads to half a dozen suspects, which should delight those eager for the opportunity to sift through the evidence…a writer to watch.” Publishers Weekly Robyn Gigl, Survivor’s Guilt (Kensington) “Gigl delightfully flips the usual terms of the genre with a murder victim readers are quickly drawn to hate and a murderer whom they will be rooting for. Her takes on big questions of justice, revenge, and the nature of victimhood will resonate with many.” Publishers Weekly, starred review Lisa Lutz, The Accomplice (Ballantine) “[An] atmospheric, well-plotted, and brilliantly narrated story, which is at once mysterious, suspenseful, and witty.” Booklist, starred review Jay Newman, Undermoney (Scribner) “Newman’s international-finance background is evident here as he takes readers deep into the cloaked financial-espionage world where tricked-out planes and jet packs provide glitter and layers of double-crossings mask the final play.” Booklist Fiona Davis, The Magnolia Palace (Dutton) “Davis smoothly combines fact with fiction, and offers beautiful descriptions of the family’s art collection. The colliding narratives and comprehensive descriptions of the historic mansion make for Davis’s best work to date.” Publishers Weekly, starred review Heather Gudenkauf, The Overnight Guest (Park Row) “Masterful, terrible, and absolutely addicting…Tense, taut, and terrifying.” Kirkus Reviews Antonio Di Benedetto (transl. Esther Allen), The Silentiary (NYRB Classics) “[Antonio di Benedetto’s] hero’s existential predicament might recall Kafka or Dostoevsky, albeit on a lighter scale. [The Silentiary] develops in spare, careful prose and sustains a thread of dry humor. . . A strange, amusing novel.” Kirkus Reviews, starred review Juneau Black, Shady Hollow (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) “Watership Down meets Mickey Spillane. A mystery of rare and sinister charm.” Alan Bradley Erin Young, The Fields (Flatiron) “Young delivers a disturbing, twist-riddled thriller stocked with well-drawn characters.” Publishers Weekly View the full article Michael Neff Algonkian Producer New York Pitch Director Author, Development Exec, Editor We are the makers of novels, and we are the dreamers of dreams.
