The Mercy Chair (2024)
(Washington Poe, book 6)
M W Craven
"Superb."
thumb
The Fury (2024)
Alex Michaelides
"Alex Michaelides hits the trifecta with his third novel, The Fury. The highly original story structure presents the reader with the king of all unreliable narrators, enough twists and turns to power two novels, and a host of characters that bleed right on the page. For fans of erudite, locked room mysteries told with style and theatrical panache, The Fury will deliver, on all counts."
thumb
Anna O (2024)
Matthew Blake
"A wickedly stunning work. Blake's experience as a screenwriter is on full display here as he ramps up the suspense and carves out his cast of wonderful characters with the skill of a real pro. The twist is one of the best I've read and ranks right up there with The Silent Patient. Sure to be wildly popular and to have fans clamoring for Blake's next work."
