ALL THE DANGEROUS THINGS by Stacy Willingham
9781250803856 | 1/10/23

“True crime’s trending appeal and Willingham’s mastery of the domestic mystery promise popularity for this one: fans of Lisa Gardner’s Frankie Elkin series will be drawn to the risky amateur-detective elements, and those who crave resolution will appreciate that Willingham tucks the story’s ends in tight.”–Booklist, starred review

THE VILLA by Rachel Hawkins (Hall of Fame)
9781250280015 | 1/3/23

“Hawkins pokes at the darker aspects of both true crime and self-help, and it works beautifully. Hawkins’ star is definitely on the rise after two bestsellers, and this one will propel her further into the stratosphere.”–Booklist, starred review

FINLAY DONOVAN JUMPS THE GUN by Elle Cosimano (Hall of Fame)
9781250846037 | 1/31/23

“Finlay’s strong narrative voice carries the reader through the colossal silliness. This is good, fast fun.”–Publishers Weekly

LOST IN THE MOMENT AND FOUND by Seanan McGuire (Hall of Fame)
9781250213631 | 1/10/23

“The eighth book (after WHERE THE DROWNED GIRLS GO) of McGuire’s ‘Wayward Children’ series is a haunting adventure about the loss of childhood innocence and ultimately, about finding strength and belonging.”–Library Journal, starred review

EXILES by Jane Harper (Hall of Fame)
9781250235350 | 1/31/23

“Writing at the top of her game, Harper effectively uses whodunit tropes to explore her characters’ hidden lives. Readers interested in literate and nuanced mysteries will be eager to see more of Falk.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
