Paul Doiron recommends
thumb
Crimson Thaw (2025)
(Detective Justice, book 1)
Bruce Robert Coffin
"Brock Justice is a protagonist worth following."
thumb
Lay This Body Down (2023)
(Gideon Stoltz Mystery, book 3)
Charles Fergus
"Strong, well-drawn characters, rich attention to natural detail, and a haunting narrative make this a series to get excited about."
thumb
The Second Mother (2020)
Jenny Milchman
"Jenny Milchman is one of the best suspense writers at work today, and The Second Mother is a page turner extraordinaire. Milchman takes the nostalgic daydream of teaching in a one-room schoolhouse and turns it ever so slowly into an urgent nightmare. That the story is set on a remote island off the coast of Maine - one of the most claustrophobic places a stranger can ever set foot - is an added bonus."
