Stephen King recommends
thumb
A Farewell to Arfs (2024)
(Chet and Bernie Mystery, book 15)
Spencer Quinn
"Without a doubt the most original mystery series currently available."
thumb
Catchpenny (2024)
Charlie Huston
"I absolutely loved it. Catchpenny is a brilliant book, full of heart and the language is pitch-perfect. If Elmore Leonard had ever written a fantasy novel, this would be it."
thumb
Listen for the Lie (2024)
Amy Tintera
"Listen for the Lie is a page-turner from the first sentence to the very last. In addition to being a world-class whodunit, full of carefully doled-out twists, Lucy is a terrific character, feisty and funny and, it turns out, brave as hell. It's great fun. Readers will rip through this one."
