Admin_99 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. * Beatriz Williams, The Beach at Summerly (William Morrow) “Beatriz Williams’s vivid historical novel alternates with measured suspense between present and past.” –Booklist David Bell, Try Not to Breathe (Berkley) “Bell delivers a perfect beach read with compelling characters and baffling circumstances….even the savviest suspense readers will be shocked by the final pages.” –Library Journal RV Raman, Praying Mantis (Agora) “On the surface it is a classic locked-room mystery, but one executed with such grace and style that it never seems old-fashioned or forced. Athreya is a detective to cherish.” –Daily Mail Craig Russell, The Devil’s Playground (Doubleday) “Excellent, engrossing… Russell, the author of the brilliant The Devil Aspect, is a steady guide, ferrying readers between Hollywood’s promises and its terrible reality. His precise, gorgeous prose shines.” –New York Times Book Review Shanora Williams, The Other Mistress (Dafina) “A fast-paced, psychological trip with a climax that will shock the most voracious readers…Williams has a winner on her hands. Recommended for fans of Alyssa Cole, Liv Constantine, and Megan Goldin.” –Library Journal Katie Garner, The Night It Ended (MIRA) “Yes, The Night It Ended is a dark gothic murder investigation at a mysterious school for troubled girls—but don’t judge, don’t assume, don’t try to figure it out—just let Garner’s masterful sleight of hand carry you away through the gasp-worthy twists and turns. Do not miss this!” –Hank Phillippi Ryan David Housewright, In a Hard Wind (Minotaur) “Housewright’s finest hour, bar none.” –Kirkus Reviews Heather Chavez, Before She Finds Me (Mulholland) “Chavez plays with thriller conventions . . . an intense, high-stakes thriller that also explores what it means to be a family and the lengths to which one will go in order to keep that dynamic safe.” –Library Journal Julia Seales, A Most Agreeable Murder (Random House) “[An] exceptional debut . . . The intricate plot races along at a sprightly pace, and Seales delights with her sharp humor and accomplished sense of narrative control. Jane Austen fans will be enthralled.” –Publishers Weekly Mark O’Connell, A Thread of Violence: A Story of Truth, Invention, and Murder (Doubleday) “[A] true crime gem…. Swirling together dogged reporting with questions about the media’s coverage of crime, O’Connell manages a gripping account that casts a skeptical eye on its own genre. Even readers put off by profiles of killers will be piqued.” –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.
