Delia Pitts recommends
History Lessons (2025)
Zoe B Wallbrook
"Junior history professor Daphne Ouverture is the perfect academic sleuth. She's nerdier than a card catalog, with brains and determination in equal measure. Following Daphne as she navigates a twisty murder case that exposes her elite university's dark underside was exhilarating and heart-pulsing. Sign me up for Daphne's next case!"
Hurt Mountain (2024)
Angela Crook
"Hurt Mountain crackles with the excitement of meeting sympathetic characters thrust into soul-breaking situations. At considerable emotional and physical peril, Dr. Olivia Blake and her ex-husband, Brandon Hall, set aside the tragedy of their missing daughter to join forces to help a traumatized teenage girl. Breakneck plotting plus a diverse cast of characters to root for make Hurt Mountain a thriller with heart."
