The Vein (2023)
Steph Nelson
"An expertly paced and detailed thriller, grounded in authenticity and infused with a sense of the unknown. Great characters, believable setting, and a richly woven history. Highly recommend."
It Will Just Be Us (2020)
Jo Kaplan
"Kaplan writes with extraordinary skill and authority, balancing the supernatural with the psychological...A vibrant, thrilling novel of family love and conflict."
In the Night Wood (2018)
Dale Bailey
"In the Night Wood begins with a tragic loss and quickly develops into a mystery involving an estate, the history of the forest surrounding it, and a strange book written by the estate’s former owner. The mystery is compelling but the heart of Dale Bailey’s latest novel is the damaged relationship between grieving parents. Conquering their guilt and salvaging their love for one another depends on their ability to untangle the mystery. This is a heady combination of natural and supernatural influences, clues scattered by an enigmatic ancestor, and local legends both feeding and deriving from a work of fiction. Together these elements create resonance and urgency in a story about the complex workings of the human heart."
