Admin_99 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. * Amanda Jayatissa, You’re Invited (Berkley) “This story is deliciously messy…Buckle up. This is a psychological thriller with corkscrew-tight twists and surprising depth as the novel explores issues of class, identity, and friendship.” –Oprah Daily Zac Bissonnette, A Killing in Costumes (Crooked Lane) “A Killing in Costumes has all the hallmarks of a great cozy: a unique setting, an intriguing cast of characters and an exciting mystery.” –Bookpage Martin Walker, To Kill a Troubadour (Knopf) “Smoothly integrated into Bruno’s investigation is information on a multitude of subjects, from medieval musical instruments to Ukrainian history, plus easy-to-follow recipes. . . . Good food, fascinating history, and a crackerjack mystery: who could ask for more?” –Publishers Weekly Kirk Wallace Johnson, The Fishermen and the Dragon (Viking) “Fast-paced though complex account of ethnic collision among the fisheries of Gulf Coast Texas…[Johnson’s] fascinating and disturbing narrative is a winning mix of biography, true crime, and ecological study. A carefully written investigation full of villains—and the occasional hero.” –Kirkus Lisa Jewell, The Family Remains (Atria) “Lively…Jewell effectively keeps readers off balance all the way to the happy ending. Though this tale of child abuse and mayhem works as a standalone, those who haven’t read The Family Upstairs will immediately want to rush out and do so.” –Publishers Weekly T. L. Finlay, Girls Without Tears (Crooked Lane) “A bone-chilling thriller set in the Everglades full of suspense and hauntingly surprising twists.” –Claire Contreras Mathew Betley, The Neighborhood (Blackstone) “Propulsive, suspenseful, and relentless, The Neighborhood is a roller-coaster thriller packed with twists and gritty action—Matthew Betley’s best novel yet. Grab it and hold on for a great ride.” –Meg Gardiner Julie Cameron, Nameless Acts of Cruelty (Scarlet) “The plot simmers for a long time before finally boiling over with dramatic revelations.” –Publishers Weekly Mark McKenna, Return to Uluru (Dutton) “Honest and thought-provoking, this book takes a hard look at some uncomfortable truths in Australia’s history. Recommended for anyone wanting to examine racism, colonialism, and their continued effects.” –Library Journal Joanna Schaffhausen, Long Gone (Minotaur) “Loads of exciting action, balanced with dramatic personal revelations and some fine nuts-and-bolts police work, keep the pages turning. Readers will look forward to the next outing for the complex, introspective Vega.” –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.
