Prom Mom (2023)
Laura Lippman
"Passionate, provocative, deeply chilling and relentlessly paced, Prom Mom is, for my money, an instant classic. With a cast of characters real enough to leap off the page and haunt your dreams - especially my new hero, Amber Glass. A truly unforgettable read."
thumb
Killing Me (2023)
Michelle Gagnon
"A tense serial killer thriller that's also hilarious? Count me in. Killing Me is sharp, suspenseful and (dare I say it?) unputdownable. Amber is my new favorite action hero. I'd follow her anywhere -- and considering some of the dicey locales she winds up in, that's saying a lot."
thumb
Like a Sister (2022)
Kellye Garrett
"Kellye Garrett is a fantastic new voice in crime fiction, and Like a Sister is her best book yet. A twisty mystery that takes a deep dive into celebrity, social media--and the dangerously false perceptions they can create--Garrett's latest is razor-sharp and utterly absorbing. I dare you to try and put it down."
