The Crossing Places
by Elly Griffiths |
“A winning debut. Aficionados may guess the killer early on, but the first-rate characters and chilling story are entrancing from start to finish. ”

The Charming Quirks of Others
by Alexander McCall Smith
|

Inside Out
by Barry Eisler
|
“This testosterone-soaked tale features unlikable, cardboard characters and a plot that disappears under the weight of implausibility”

Our Kind of Traitor
by John LeCarre |
"While other novelists are doing everything they can to inflate their tales of cloak and dagger, trust Le Carré (A Most Wanted Man, 2008, etc.) to make his story of international money laundering, political infighting and unwitting treachery into a chamber symphony of exquisite delicacy."

The Detroit Electric Scheme
by D. E. Johnson |
"Johnson's debut novel is unsteadily plotted, but an empathetic hero and an abundance of interesting historical detail should keep readers engaged"

Blowback
by Peter May |
"May's flair for narrative, characterization and evocative descriptions of various locales and historic tidbits makes his formulaic whodunit fresh and delightfully readable—catnip for armchair sleuths"

Edge
by Jeffery Deaver |
“Fans of Deaver’s fiendishly clever suspensers (The Burning Wire, 2010, etc.) won’t be surprised by the nonstop deceptions, reversals, shocks and surprises, but this time they’re even more varied than usual, and, given the characters’ backgrounds, a lot more plausible. The result is his most successful thriller in years"

"Welcome back"

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
by Stieg Larsson
|
"Patented Larsson, meaning fast-paced enough to make those Jason Bourne films seem like Regency dramas"
-Kirkus' Reviews

Before I Go to Sleep
by S. J. Watson
|
"Watson’s pitch-perfect writing propels the story to a frenzied climax that will haunt readers long after they’ve closed the cover on this remarkable book"

Back of Beyond
by C. J. Box
|
"Once again, Box provides the complete suspense package: unobtrusively slick detection, buckets of surprises and mounting thrills, all amid his trademark settings in the majestic high country"
-Kirkus' Reviews

A Wee Christmas Homicide
by Kaitlyn Dunnett
|
"Dunnett’s third is a wee bit complicated (Scone Cold Dead, 2008, etc.). But the blend of romance and cozy mystery will please lovers of all things Scottish"
-Kirkus' Reviews
