Admin_99 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. * Sarah Ruiz-Grossman, A Fire So Wide (Harper) “Ruiz-Grossman’s captivating debut chronicles a wildfire’s impact on a diverse set of residents of Berkeley. . . . It’s a gripping page-turner with a surprising twist, as a set of disgruntled survivors form an unlikely alliance and take drastic action. The complex characterizations and realistic scenarios converge to deliver a satisfying punch.” –Publishers Weekly Leah Konen, Keep Your Friends Close (Putnam) “[A] fast-paced, plot-driven novel that manages to poke fun at millennial parenting and the culture of wealthy Brooklynites . . . A thrilling and unpredictable hunt for answers that pays off.” –Kirkus Reviews Jørn Lier Horst, Thomas Enger, (transl. Megan Turney), Stigma (Orenda) “Blix suffers a series of vicious assaults in Stigma, the new novel by the stellar Norwegian crime-writing duo Jorn Lier Horst and Thomas Enger … tense, brutal and fast-moving.” –Sunday Times Pascale Robert-Diard (transl. Adriana Hunter), The Little Liar (Other Press) “In a story that addresses the many different kinds of truth available for the telling, even as it asks to what purposes those truths should be used, Robert-Diard writes a fast, tight, character-driven tale that refuses the easy answers so readily available in an era of social media activism in favor of the complexity of the all-too-human natures that motivate us all. Complex, provocative, and timely.” Vera Kurian, A Step Past Darkness (Park Row) “Through flashbacks and the gang’s emotionally powerful reunion, Kurian draws readers in, invoking strong Goonies vibes. Here, as in her debut, Never Saw Me Coming, Kurian creates unforgettable characters, breathless suspense, and original plotting. A must-read for fans of C. J. Tudor and Jennifer McMahon.” –Booklist A. J. Finn, End of Story (William Morrow) “Literary magic – a mystery lover’s delight . . . Absorbing, stylish, and sparkling with quick wit . . . reminds you of something so utterly essential about a truly masterful mystery – that the end is just the beginning.” — Nita Prose Cara Hunter, All the Rage (William Morrow) “Hunter’s fourth outing with Fawley is a well-written, richly detailed fly-on-the-wall procedural; highly recommended.” –Booklist Melissa Albert, The Bad Ones (Flatiron Books) “The supernatural creep factor is extreme, and there are secrets aplenty in this compelling and eerie tale.” –Booklist Sara Shepard, Nowhere Like Home (Dutton) “Twisted friendships, toxic pasts and tangled motives—this is Sara Shepard doing what she does best!” –Ruth Ware Tammy Greenwood, The Still Point (Kensington) “A gifted storyteller, Tammy Greenwood instantly transports you to the cutthroat, brutally competitive, and beautiful world of ballet in this richly-detailed, expertly-plotted, absorbing tale of friendship, motherhood, passion, and dreams, found, lost, and found again.” –Heather Gudenkauf 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.
