Admin_99 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. * C.E. McGill, Our Hideous Progeny (Harper) “Fans of Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and historical horror with a queer feminist twist will not be disappointed…In this immersive, richly detailed novel, Mary is an enthralling heroine with whom readers will empathize, and owing to assured, luscious prose, whose plight they will champion.” –Library Journal Tim Mason, The Nightingale Affair (Algonquin) “Time-travel through the gilded halls and sinister streets of Victorian London and onward to the horrors of the Crimean War as a determined detective tracks a ruthless killer. Political intrigue, a backdrop of social upheaval, and a cast of nineteenth-century luminaries make this stylish, cleverly plotted thriller a must-read for fans of historical fiction.” –Dean Jobb Karen White, The House on Prytania (Berkley) “An exciting psychic mystery best enjoyed by veterans who’ve read all the previous entries in both series.” –Kirkus Reviews Martin Cruz Smith, Independence Square (Simon and Schuster) “Martin Cruz Smith writes with an immediacy, depth and lightness of touch that is rare in its combination, and impossible to resist…Independence Square is no exception, and further crystallises Cruz Smith as one of the finest writers of our age. I loved it.” –Charlotte Philby Frank Bill, Back to the Dirt (FSG) “Bill’s feverish latest shines a light on an American heartland blighted by crushed dreams and debilitating addictions… With kinetic prose, Bill keeps up the pace and delivers a steady supply of grisly details… It makes for one hell of a ride.” –Publishers Weekly James Risen, The Last Honest Man (Little Brown) “Vigorous… a welcome restoration of a largely forgotten politician who navigated issues that continue to reverberate.” –Kirkus Reviews Lindsey Cameron, No One Needs to Know (Bantam) “Fast-paced intrigue spiked with social satire . . . those inclined toward a fizzy cocktail of suspense and schadenfreude should enjoy.” –Publishers Weekly Daniel Kalla, Fit to Die (Simon and Schuster) “Timely and relevant. Exposing the dark side of the wellness industry, this electrifying, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller will keep your heart racing from the first page to the very last.” –Jennifer Hillier Lisa Brideau, Adrift (Sourcebooks) “The setting offers a stark glimpse of a possible future and the politics of climate displacement. Readers will root for Ess as she battles Mother Nature and herself in a quest for answers… Give this one to suspense readers eager for a different kind of thriller, as well as fans of survival fiction.” –Library Journal Ashley Weaver, Playing It Safe (Minotaur) “Outstanding . . . Weaver populates this bright, fast-paced thriller with engagingly flawed characters and breathless action. Readers will delight at the dynamic between the leads and look forward to future adventures.” –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.
