Christina Dalcher recommends
The Two Lives of Louis & Louise (2019)
Julie Cohen
"Not often does a story remind us of what beautifully complex creatures we are. Julie Cohen has given us that rare gift."
The Last Resort (2019)
Marissa Stapley
"Stapley pulls off a tale that's both spine-chilling and heartwarming. How she does it is as intricate a mystery as The Last Resort's plot. You won't be needing a bookmark."
Layover (2019)
David Bell
"David Bell once again plunges the Everyman (or woman) into situations both ordinary and extraordinary. Subtle, insightful, and very human, Layover brings to mind the best of James M. Cain."
Cold Storage (2019)
David Koepp
"Koepp has resurrected Crichton, injecting every page with dark humour and humanity. You’ll be laughing one minute and checking your long-term survival plan the next."
The Better Liar (2020)
Tanen Jones
"THE BETTER LIAR is the best type of fiction – a fast-paced read that will leave you thinking long after turning the final page."
Followers (2020)
Megan Angelo
"Megan Angelo has crafted an eerie masterpiece about the world we live in and the world we don't want to live in. Followers will make you reconsider whether you really want your fifteen minutes of fame."
The Last Day (2020)
Andrew Hunter Murray
"A thrilling page-turner, and a reminder to treasure our sunsets and sunrises while we still have them. I couldn’t put this book down!"
The Return (2020)
Rachel Harrison
"The Return expertly treads the fine line between thriller and horror. It's as deliciously creepy as opening up a box of candy-coated spiders-and eating them all in one sitting."
Sin Eater (2020)
Megan Campisi
"Rich with imaginative and historical details, Sin Eater is part mystery, part horror, and—ultimately—a timeless story of one woman regaining her power. I loved this from beginning to end."
His & Hers (2020)
Alice Feeney
"Feeney does it again! His & Hers is a twisty dual-narrative that gives Gone Girl a run for its money and leaves you wondering if you can trust anyone. I couldn’t stop reading."
The Perfect Couple (2020)
Lisa Hall
"Think Rebecca, Body Heat, and Gaslight. Lisa Hall’s dark thriller plays on three classic tropes and does the seemingly unimaginable: it improves on them. You’re going to devour this one."
The Actuality (2021)
Paul Braddon
"Exquisite... Not since Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep have I felt so strongly about where artificial intelligence might lead us. Highly recommended."
Black Widows (2021)
Cate Quinn
"Quinn gives her readers an exquisite murder mystery, taking us through uncharted territory of off-the-grid, modern-day intentional communities. Black Widows is a steady, slow boil you'll be happy to immerse yourself in."
