One of the Good Guys (2024)
Araminta Hall
"Mind. Blown. The brilliant Araminta Hall has created an absolute tour de force of suspense. Provocative, surprising, and entirely original, this tale of power and gender will not only have you looking at the world a different way, but will have you looking at yourself a different way. Hall's brilliance with exquisite foreboding, with multi-layered but mysterious characters, and with her deep understanding of readers' expectations make this one of the most thought-provoking and imaginative books I have ever read. I never even came close to guessing the ending, and gasped with envy and massive respect when I finished reading. If you have a book club-wow-this one's for you. Drop everything, call Hollywood, and do not miss One of the Good Guys."

From laugh-out-loud clever to pages that you'll read through tears, this thematically gorgeous novel will haunt you long after you close the final page. The story is irresistible--so just let the beautiful writing wash over you, heal you, and empower you. I loved it."

The Paris Assignment (2023)
Rhys Bowen
"Gorgeous, authentic, and absolutely riveting. There is no better storyteller than Rhys Bowen! The Paris Assignment, like all her novels, is meticulously researched, brilliantly told, and endlessly captivating. Bowen's extraordinary ability to synthesize history and present it as essential and heartbreaking human drama is unmatched. I read this in total awe, as it honors reality and cinematically brings it to life again. The Paris Assignment is emotionally and historically immersive, and no reader will be the same after they turn the final page."
