Allen Eskens recommends
Heart of Stone (2016)
(Ellie Stone Mystery, book 4)
James W Ziskin
"James Ziskin has written another great read, imbued with a rich cast of characters and a tight plot that bristles with tension. Ellie Stone is the perfect protagonist--extraordinary but with enough girl-next-door charm in her that she instantly becomes a friend. This is one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors, and it belongs on every mystery lover's to-be-read list."
Give Up the Dead (2017)
(Jay Porter, book 3)
Joe Clifford
"Joe Clifford writes the kind of books that I love to read, mysteries that not only make you think, but make you feel."
The Devil's Wedding Ring (2017)
Vidar Sundstøl
"In his novel, The Devil's Wedding Ring, Vidar Sundstol has written an intelligent and thoughtful mystery about a man returning to his home country to learn the truth about a friend's death, and in doing so, he must face ghosts of his own. This pitch-perfect elegy makes for compelling reading, the kind of work that must be savored."
Fallen Mountains (2019)
Kimi Cunningham Grant
"In Fallen Mountains, Kimi Cunningham Grant has painted an intense and engaging portrait of characters driven by--and bound by--the secrets of their pasts. It is an absorbing mystery as well as a gracefully layered story of death and loss in a small town, with a haunting conclusion that will linger with the reader long after they turn that last page."
