February mystery thriller collage

This February wasn’t just the month of love, it was also the month of mysteries and thrillers! Within these pages, you’ll find devoted siblings trying to stop a serial killer that can see the future, a desperate father who becomes the caretaker of the most haunted house in Texas, a cat-and-mouse game with a toxic ex-husband, a husband and wife duo trying to solve a murder in the Yukon wilderness, the debut of a new amateur sleuth in 19th century London, and the return of Evan Smoak in the latest Orphan X novel. 

THE ANGEL MAKER BY ALEX NORTH

“At THE ANGEL MAKER’s center is a present-day murder, but embedded in its core are the paranormal, elements of cringeworthy horror, and a riveting study of the bonds and boundaries of sibling devotion, as well as a master study on determinism…Everything in this story is connected in ways the reader can’t begin to imagine until a series of stunning parallels and revelations are disclosed.”—Booklist, starred review

THE SPITE HOUSE BY JOHNNY COMPTON

“Compton’s chilling debut is horror with heart that puts a refreshingly modern spin on the haunted house story…This tense work of gothic horror provides a complex and multidimensional look at how anger, grief, and trauma can strengthen bonds of familial love…Even the most jaded horror fans will be wowed.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

THE HOUSE GUEST BY HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN

“Ryan’s latest is full of beautiful scenery, privileged characters, and twists and turns…This cat-and-mouse story will have readers wondering who is the cat and who is the mouse.”—Library Journal, starred review

MURDER AT HAVEN’S ROCK BY KELLEY ARMSTRONG

“Excellent…Armstrong gives her lead a complex mystery to solve, while vividly evoking the eerie isolation of the setting. Paul Doiron fans will be pleased.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

THE LAST ORPHAN: AN ORPHAN X NOVEL BY GREGG HURWITZ

“…the writing is crisp, the action scenes are both clever and cinematic, the dialogue is pitch perfect, and the villains are deliciously detestable. First-class.” —Booklist, starred review

OF MANNERS AND MURDER: A DEAR MISS HERMIONE MYSTERY BY ANASTASIA HASTINGS

“A series of surprising revelations leads to a shocking conclusion. The first in a series steeped in Victorian mores offers a dashing heroine and an impressive pile of red herrings.”—Kirkus Reviews
