Brad Parks recommends
Killer Choice (2018)
Tom Hunt
"With a premise torn from the pages of a psychology textbook and a furious cascade of twists, Killer Choice is a lightning-fast ride that'll keep you guessing until the end. You can go ahead and throw away your bookmark now. This is a one-sit read."
Fiction Can Be Murder (2018)
(Mystery Writer's Mystery, book 1)
Becky Clark
"Fresh, fast, and furiously fun, Fiction Can Be Murderpacks one surprise after the next. Becky Clark writes with wry wit, a keen eye, and no shortage of authority on this particular subject. Charlee Russo is like a lot of authors I know—except most of them only dream of killing their agents."
Watch the Girls (2018)
Jennifer Wolfe
"Twisty, tense, and addictive, WATCH THE GIRLS is like a great horror flick, a classic mystery, and an edgy piece of social commentary-all wrapped up into one dark, delicious package. Jennifer Wolfe is a huge new talent. Welcome to the book everyone will be reading this summer."
The Dark Continent (2020)
(Prometheus Man, book 3)
Scott Reardon
"A lot of people are running around claiming to be the next Michael Crichton. Scott Reardon actually has the writing chops to pull it of."
The House Guest (2020)
Mark Edwards
"The House Guest is Mark Edwards at his spinetingling best. Another instant blockbuster from a can’t-miss king of psychological suspense."
Don't Ever Forget (2020)
(Adler and Dwyer, book 1)
Matthew Farrell
"Take a deep breath now, because once you start, you won’t get another chance. Don’t Ever Forget is a twisty, pulse-pounding read from a writer who has quickly established himself as a can’t-miss master of thrills."
Her Three Lives (2021)
Cate Holahan
"Cate Holahan is one of the best psychological suspense writers out there, and she's only getting better. Read her."
