Awards

Lee Goldberg recommends

What Never Happened (2023)
Rachel Howzell Hall
"Rachel Howzell Hall has crafted her own genre of slow-boiling, powerfully emotional thrillers. Her realistic characters are ordinary people, haunted by past horrors that won't stay buried, forcing them to face pure evil to find their own redemption."

The Guilty One (2023)
Bill Schweigart
"A raw, visceral, hard-charging police procedural and a relentless thriller packed into one explosive novel. You'll finish this book breathless."

Killer Story (2023)
Matt Witten
"Killer Story reveals that the all-consuming, addictive quest for clicks is the new crack, and so is Matt Witten's propulsive storytelling. You won't be able to tear yourself away."

Behind Closed Doors (2022)
Carol Wyer
"A twisty whodunit wrapped in a thriller that will keep you behind closed doors until the final, shocking revelation."

The Mad, Mad Murders of Marigold Way (2022)
Raymond Benson
"The quirky structure of the novel, evoking a stage play, lulls you into a false, cozy sense of security... but don't be fooled--violence and murder are lurking in the background. Benson is a deft and assured storyteller with an amiable, warm and gentle voice reminiscent of Burl Ives or a grown-up John Boy Walton, and this may just be his masterpiece."

A Fire in the Night (2021)
Christopher Swann
"I don't know how Swann did it -- he's written a mesmerizing book that's literary fiction, a spy novel, and a relentless thriller all in one."
