Admin_99 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. * Jacqueline Bublitz, Before You Knew My Name (Atria/Emily Bestler) “A brave and timely novel which will fuel the debate on women’s rights to walk safely through our streets. I raced through the pages, anxious for resolution, yet at the same time not wanting this beautiful writing to finish.” –Clare Mackintosh Kenneth Johnson, Holmes Coming (Blackstone) “Clever, tight plots, fresh dialogue, and a take on Holmes that should not only be embraced by those delightful fans of Sherlock…but general readers who want a book that they won’t forget are guaranteed to become fans of the Great Detective.” –Strand Magazine Robert J Harris, The Devil’s Blaze (Pegasus) “Robert J. Harris’s lively Sherlock Holmes pastiche transports readers to a blacked-out London during World War II. In two previous books, the author resurrected John Buchan’s World War I-era character Richard Hannay to good effect and with strong period flavor. A Study in Crimson achieves a similar mix of action-adventure, detective savvy and Holmesian surprise.” –Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal Lisa Ballantyne, The Innocent One (Pegasus) “A skillful mixture of creepy crime thriller and gripping domestic drama, The Innocent One had me turning the pages late into the night.” –C. J. Cooper HW Brands, The Last Campaign (Doubleday) “Brands is an American treasure: a professional, discerning historian who can write with forceful elegance . . . His remarkable decision to discuss Indian relations and conflicts via these dual, and dueling, biographies of Sherman and Geronimo yields unexpected inflections and surprising insights. As narrative history it is pure Brands, and he is a master.” –James L. Haley Simon Parkin, The Island of Extraordinary Captives (Scribner) “Drawing on copious unpublished and archival material, British journalist Parkin has produced a richly detailed history of the internment of thousands of men and women because of their German or Austrian ancestry. . . . A vivid recounting of a shameful event that still resonates.” –Kirkus Reviews Roseanne Montillo, Deliberate Cruelty (Atria) “This engaging, well-researched book will appeal to true-crime aficionados, Capote fans, and anyone interested in a darkly intriguing story well told. A compelling mix of true crime and literary biography.” –Kirkus Reviews Jennifer Lynn Alvarez, Friends Like These (Delacorte) “With pulsing dialogue and believable action, the thriller raises the stakes at every turn. A fast-paced thriller to keep readers on the edges of their seats.” –Kirkus Erika T. Wurth, White Horse (Flatiron) “It’s metal to the end, it’s Denver to the core, it’s Native without trying, there’s ghosts, there’s blood, there’s roller coasters, and there’s about a thousand cigarettes smoked. What else can you ask for in a novel?” –Stephen Graham Jones Ann Claire, Dead and Gondola (Bantam) “A fair-play plot, vivid characters, fascinating facts about Dame Agatha, and an intelligent and appealing protagonist make this a winner. Cozy fans will chomp at the bit for more.” –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.
