Admin_99 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. * Alice Slater, The Death of a Bookseller (Scarlet) “Very dark, character-driven, slow-burn suspense … Slater explores the ethics surrounding our obsession with true crime and questions how we should handle other people’s stories. This highly original, whip-smart first novel will have crime lovers second-guessing their next read.” –Booklist Taylor Adams, The Last Word (William Morrow) “An outstanding psychological thriller…As the tension rises, spectacular plot twists open up new possibilities while effectively demolishing existing expectations. Along with the nail-biting suspense, the book provides some genuine fun by treating readers to overwrought excerpts from an unpublished manuscript about the crimes that take place at Strand Beach. Adams remains a writer to watch.” –Publishers Weekly Adam Sternbergh, The Eden Test (Flatiron) “Outstanding. . . . One masterfully manipulative chiller just waiting for its close-up. Sternbergh has outdone himself.” –Publishers Weekly Dennis Lehane, Small Mercies (Harper) “Powerful, unforgettable…[a] remarkable novel about racism, violence, and parental vengeance.” –Library Journal Elly Griffiths, The Last Remains (Mariner Books) “Griffiths expertly blends a well-wrought procedural with distinctive characters, academic politics, and romance. Fans old and new will be rewarded.” (For The Last Remains) –Publishers Weekly Zhanna Slor, Breakfall (Agora) “A plucky heroine, a kind-of mystery, and a lot of sexual hijinks keep it interesting.” –Kirkus Reviews Caroline Kepnes, For You and Only You (Random House) “Kepnes gleefully portrays the most back-stabbing seminar yet, dropping literary names with abandon as she twists the plot. Joe Goldberg might be a narcissistic, manipulative, murderous, utterly unreliable narrator, but he’s damn entertaining.” –Kirkus Review Sarah Strohmeyer, We Love to Entertain (Harper) “Strohmeyer offers an original plot that keeps us guessing and entertaining writing that veers from dark humor, usually with tongue in cheek, to tragedy.” –Booklist Jeneva Rose, You Shouldn’t Have Come Here (Blackstone) “[An] intriguing thriller…A sinister undercurrent runs throughout, and while the reader is privy to each narrator’s thoughts, there are a few land mines buried along the way to the surprise ending. Rose should win new fans with this one.” –Publishers Weekly Joshilyn Jackson, With My Little Eye (William Morrow) “Psychologically damaged but charismatic characters, a riveting plot, and taut suspense make this a fine pick for suspense fans.” –Booklist 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.
