Ben Reeves
"This novel has all the ingredients of unforgettability: a plot you've never seen, characters you want to love, writing that glimmers on the page, and a spectacular ending that will smack you in the face with an aching joy. Days later, I'm still brimming."
The Arizona Triangle (2024)
(Jo Bailen Detective, book 1)

"Oh, goody goody! A new mystery series, with a smart, complicated sleuth, great writing, and a can't-guess-the-killer plot. What's not to love?"
Bad Animals (2024)
Sarah Braunstein
"Bad Animals kept me up all night for its gorgeous prose, its breathtaking insights into human nature, and its fresh, original page-turning plot. What a triumph."
