Hot Girl Murder Club (2026) Ashley Winstead "Hot Girl Murder Club features Ashley Winstead at her absolute finest, firing on all her signature thriller cylinders and wielding the pen like a proper Raymond Chandler in the time of the Kardashians. With her foot firmly on the gas from beginning to end, top down in Tinseltown, readers will be left gasping at the seemingly endless twists and turns, like a night ride down Mulholland after the afterparty. As glamorous as it is gritty, Winstead's latest is a white-hot barnburner of a novel so ferociously feminist, you'll finish the last page ready to light the match yourself!"
A Good Person (2026) Kirsten King "An enthusiastically deranged frolic of a novel, A Good Person is for readers who adore mess. I couldn't get enough of Lillian's voice, both disturbing and delightful, and felt so sorry for every character that crossed her path. Truly an enchanting debut from Kirsten King with a wink, a smile, and a swift kick in the ass. Loved!"
Paper Cut (2026) Rachel Taff "Haunting and propulsive, Rachel Taff's Paper Cut delves into the darker side of what makes an artist, who gets a voice and why the pursuit of the truth is often the most treacherous path. This is a sharp debut with a broken yet beating heart, splashed against the trainwreck allure of true crime as a genre, where trauma is mined for entertainment, marking the steep price we all pay for admission."
L.A. Women (2025) Ella Berman "An unflinching exploration into the emotional depths of artists, LA Women is as soulful and scintillating as Laurel Canyon itself."
Don't Open Your Eyes (2025) Liv Constantine "As twisty as it is tender, Liv Constantine's latest, Don't Open Your Eyes, is a multilayered mystery with family secrets, buried passions, and haunting dreams that could very well become real-life nightmares. With Constantine's signature flair for high-stakes drama coupled with a surprise touch of the speculative, readers are in for a genre-bending treat from the East Coast's queen of domestic suspense."
The Vipers (2025) Katy Hays "The Lingates have it all: prestige, power and the potential to be irrevocably destroyed if long-buried secrets get into the wrong hands . . . Katy Hays' The Vipers is sultry and sophisticated with a menacing undercurrent that keeps you thrillingly unsettled until its final spellbinding twist. Let the languid glamour of Capri gently take you by one hand, an ice cold Negroni in the other, but watch your step-the cliffs are treacherous and so, too, is a family with everything to lose."
All the Other Mothers Hate Me (2025) Sarah Harman "All The Other Mothers Hate Me is all sass in a class of its own. An absolute riot with a razor sharp sense of humor and unyielding suspense, I laughed aloud on nearly every page, all while dying to know how it was going to shake out for my new favorite character."
It Had to Be You (2024) Eliza Jane Brazier "A slick and sexy international caper of a novel that will leave you gasping for breath in more ways than one. Brazier bestows us with a cute couple of contract killers to root for, but which side will you be on--love or death?"
The Astrology House (2024) Carinn Jade "Carinn Jade's clever debut The Astrology House is a sincere love letter to the zodiac, sealed with a sinister kiss, as she sets readers on a careening journey into this couple's retreat from hell where secrets steadily rise to the surface, leaving no one able to escape their fate."
Love Letters to a Serial Killer (2024) Tasha Coryell "A delightfully dark and deranged romp through the mind of one of 'those women' - you won't be able to look away from this high-stakes trainwreck of a relationship between Hannah and William, a match made in heaven for the true-crime obsessed."
While We Were Burning (2024) Sara Koffi "Sara Koffi's debut is an absolute banger of a book with so much bite that the ending left me with an audible gasp and a hand over my mouth. Confident and cunning, While We Were Burning presents a scorchingly smart tale of revenge that's worthy of a one-day binge. Seriously, cancel your plans."
Anything for a Friend (2023) Kathleen M Willett "Twisty and totally bingeable, Kathleen M. Willett's Anything for a Friend is a dark and devious exploration of female friendship that kept me turning the pages into the night, but fair warning - this story might make you think twice before picking up the phone when an old friend just wants to 'catch up.'"
