Crimes Against Nature (2024)
Robert Lopresti
"This environmentally villainous anthology features fifteen stories as diverse as their topics - from volcanoes to toxic waste to secondhand smoke - and some of the most creative plots I've seen in a long time. Also featured: a lineup of writers who are wickedly good at suspense and deception. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!"

Hot Time (2022)
W H Flint
"Hot Time is an extraordinary, beautifully written book that has everything readers look for in a period mystery: thorough research, a fast-moving plot, fascinating characters, believable dialogue, and a challenging puzzle. The descriptions of 1896 New York City are spellbinding, and so are the players - many of them real historical figures. 'I couldn't put it down' has become a clichee, but in this case it's true. I loved it."
