Dervla McTiernan recommends
May the Wolf Die (2024)
Elizabeth Heider
"An intriguing mystery, a smart central character to root for, gorgeous setting, and authentic detail. This tense and brooding debut is everything crime fiction should be."
Dead Man's Creek (2022)
(Detective Nell Buchanan, book 2)
Chris Hammer
"Utterly brilliant, a darkly simmering mystery - an Australian Where The Crawdads Sing."
The Hush (2021)
Sara Foster
"Smart and considered, this is the book I wish I had written. Sara Foster is one of my favorite writers."
