Julia Heaberlin recommends
Everyone is Watching (2024)
Heather Gudenkauf
"Heather Gudenkauf manages to smash it out of the park every time. Everyone Is Watching has the delicious ingredients of a stay-up-all-night-and-finish thriller: a do-or-die reality show, a cast of disturbing characters, and a drumbeat that starts pounding on page one. If you need an escape from reality, this is the book to grab."
The Young of Other Animals (2024)
Chris Cander
"Several dark and twisty rivers run through Chris Cander's latest engrossing novel - a compelling crime mystery, a deft exploration of flawed mother-daughter relationships, and an intimate view of violent childhood trauma. The Young of Other Animals delivers as a suspense novel and as an homage to the resilience of female relationships."
I Did It For You (2023)
Amy Engel
"I love diving into an Amy Engel novel, and I Did It For You is no exception. If you're looking for an engrossing thriller, this one ticks off all the boxes: sleek writing, insight into the complexity of terrible crimes, and a plot that will keep you guessing and turning 'just one more page' late into the night."
