Julie Carrick Dalton recommends

The Briars (2026)
Sarah Crouch
"Sarah Crouch's delicate and tantalizing prose in The Briars builds the scaffolding for an emotionally charged mystery as a troubled game warden probes for answers in the wilds of the lush Pacific Northwest -- and in the vagaries of the treacherous landscape within. With complicated twists that build to a satisfying surprise, The Briars delivers a powerful emotional experience readers won't be able to shake long after they put the book down. One of the best books I've read this year."

One Summer in Savannah (2023)
Terah Shelton Harris
"Steeped in poetry, place, and compassion, Terah Shelton Harris's moving debut novel One Summer in Savannah will turn readers' hearts inside out as her characters navigate the vagaries of forgiveness and the boundaries and boundlessness of love."

Dark Rivers to Cross (2022)
Lynne Reeves
"With an obvious love of Maine's wilderness, Lynne Reeves delivers a heart-in-your-throat page-turner that shines a compassionate light on the injustices surrounding domestic violence and the failures of our mental healthcare system. A story about resilience and love, identity and self-discovery, Dark Rivers to Cross hits all the right notes and will keep readers guessing until the nail-biting end."
