Kevin O'Brien recommends

Shadow Play (2025)
Sara Driscoll
"The suspense builds and builds as a pesky internet troll becomes a direct and deadly threat in Sara Driscoll's thriller, Shadow Play. Her heroine is Krista Evans, a physical therapist who puts her compassion and caring to good use as the host of her own live-streaming advice program. What happens when she picks up a cyber stalker is unsettling and sure to make the reader squirm. But that's just the beginning of a tautly written, page-turning thrill-ride. Driscoll ratchets up the tension with every chapter in this compelling, unputdownable thriller."

A Jewel in the Crown (2024)
(Secret Churchill Files, book 1)
David Lewis
"An exciting, page-turning spy adventure. Meticulously-researched and told in a cinematic-style, Lewis's novel takes the reader on a colorful, intriguing chase across the English countryside, building to an pulse-pounding, action-filled climax. Caitrin Colline is a heroine you can root for: smart, resourceful and unflappable, she's part Indiana Jones and part Elizabeth Zott. When she's teamed with handsome aristocrat, Hector Neville-Percy, it's the perfect pairing of opposites. Sparks fly and classes clash amid the ever-increasing danger. With his debut, David Lewis delivers first class suspense-filled entertainment."

The Hunger of Crows (2021)
Richard Chiappone
"Brilliantly constructed and beautifully written, THE HUNGER OF CROWS will keep readers deliciously on-edge until the final page. Bravo!"
