Editorial reviews

About A Gathering of Secrets

Castillo, who cannot write badly, continues to improve and sharpen her vision with each book, casting her sympathetic and believable protagonist in a variation of the fish-out-of-water setting, which is both familiar and unique.

About The Butterfly Conspiracy

I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book and to watch their relationship grow—not to mention the cryptid name drop that has me chomping at the bit. I’m looking forward to the second book in the series.

About A Gathering of Secrets

Undoubtedly, fans of Linda Castillo’s Kate Burkholder series are immersed in a massive reread before A Gathering of Secrets (10th in the series) is released.

About The Girl From Blind River

The author’s authoritative, powerful prose and knack for dialogue—especially when dealing with emotions and violence—are more indicative of a seasoned veteran rather than a debut author. This is great news because it means there is much more to come from Massey, and if The Girl from Blind River is any indication, it will be great.

About All These Beautiful Strangers

The story of a long-game revenge played out between generations.

About A Gathering of Secrets

Another rewarding crime novel that looks beyond the idealized image of the Amish.

About The Red Hand of Fury

Morris’ third is taut and twisty with a psychological intensity that’s rare and compelling.

About Mothers and Other Strangers

A reader who knows what to expect will take pleasure in this book.

About Bearskin

Bearskin’s language is taut and tense. Virtually every sentence is crafted to keep readers slightly on edge... Readers will be hard-pressed to put down this propulsive narrative once they pick it up.

About Head On

The whole novel is a fun play on the science fiction novel and detective story.

About A Howl of Wolves

Flanders provides insightful moments about working with creative people that are endearing and charming, and delivers a twisty plot that would make book editor Sam smile.

About Burnout

Burnout examines a timely subject, but it’s the depiction of relationships, all with plenty of nuance, that is the main reason to pick up this book.

About Head On

Very clever, wonderfully satisfying fun.

About The Affliction

No subject is too dire for [Gutcheon's] sharp and witty commentator-protagonists, and this is a fun and well-crafted story.

About Cave of Bones

The atmospheric prose in CAVE OF BONES brings back fond memories of travel through this mysterious and legendary world that my family calls home.

About The Wild Inside

I did love the setting and the vivid imagery used to describe Tracy's surroundings and I think Bradbury is a fantastic storyteller.
