Admin_99 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. * Janice Hallett, The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels (Atria) “[M]any-layered, highly complex, and imaginative… Hallett shocks readers with satisfying twists and a dark, unpredictable ending… True crime tackles angels and demons in this devilishly good tale.” –Kirkus Reviews Elizabeth Gonzalez, The Bullet Swallower (Simon and Schuster) “Gonzalez laces magical realism into her vivid epic of the Texas-Mexico border and the violence that shapes a family for generations. . .The novel’s striking centerpiece follows Antonio and fellow desperado Peter Ainsley as they cut a swath across the border badlands [with] blazing guns and rich, Butch and Sundance–esque banter. . .Readers will find this a refreshingly modern recasting of the classic western.” –Publishers Weekly Cate Quinn, The Clinic (Sourcebooks) “Hooks readers from the start and has twists and turns that will keep them guessing. Themes of addiction, trauma, and grief set this apart from other thrillers, and readers can sense Quinn’s personal rehab experience, which she writes about in her acknowledgements…hard to put down.” –Booklist Kate Alice Marshall, No One Can Know (Flatiron) “A propulsive and intricate psychological thriller. . . Meticulously plotted. . . Family connections prove both their damage and their worth in this community-focused thriller.” –Kirkus Sarah-Jane Collins, Radiant Heat (Berkley) “The claustrophobic atmosphere of a raging wildfire is handled well. Fans of Jane Harper’s Australian novels will want to try this debut featuring an unreliable narrator.” –Library Journal Andrew Hunter Murray, The Sanctuary (Blackstone) “A novel that pulls you in immediately and doesn’t let go until the last page.” –Booklist Nicolás Ferraro (transl. Mallory Craig-Kuhn), My Favorite Scar (Soho) “The book feels like Richard Stark’s Parker had a ‘bring your daughter to work’ day and stands apart from other thrillers as Ferraro gives narrative space to Ámbar’s own self-discovery . . . This literary thriller with The Last of Us dynamics will please readers who like thrills with substance.” –Library Journal Allison Brennan, The Missing Witness (MIRA) “Action-packed fifth adventure… The pace never lags… Series fans will walk away satisfied.” –Publishers Weekly Seth Dickinson, Exordia (Tordotcom) “Magnificent. . . . A science fiction action juggernaut.” –Tamsyn Muir Mariah Fredericks, The Wharton Plot (Minotaur) “Superb . . . Thanks to a literary plot laced with arch wit and precise put-downs, appearances by Wharton’s famous friends (including Henry James and the Vanderbilts), and an eclectic assortment of the upper crust in the waning days of a varnished era, Fredericks hits this one out of the park.” –Library Journal 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.
