BEST HARDCOVER
A WORLD OF CURIOSITIES: A CHIEF INSPECTOR GAMACHE NOVEL BY LOUISE PENNY
3 starred reviews!
“Penny’s 18th Gamache novel…is intense as the detective digs deep into his own fears. The darkness in this intricately plotted story forces readers to search for contrasting moments of hope.”–Library Journal, starred review
“For Penny, the novel is a narrative tour de force, drawing brilliantly on some dark moments in Québec history and leading Gamache and the residents of Three Pines to a hard-won, thoroughly unsentimental recognition that forgiveness is our most powerful magic.”–Booklist, starred review
“Penny adds crucial details about Gamache’s backstory and satisfactorily resolves a plotline tease from earlier in the series. This tale of forgiveness and redemption will resonate with many.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
SECRET IDENTITY BY ALEX SEGURA
3 starred reviews!
“As a thriller, it’s smart, perfectly paced, and wonderfully atmospheric—Segura captures the intense, grimy milieu of 1970s New York with aplomb. You don’t have to be a comics fan to love this novel; it’s a masterful book filled with real heart and soul.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“[Segura’s] reverence for the [graphic novel] medium comes across vividly here, most pointedly through the book’s mesmerizing illustrations and in the revelation that Patricia Highsmith initially wrote freelance for comics to support her literary endeavors. A superlative one-of-a-kind novel.”–Booklist, starred review
“Segura’s infectious passion for superheroes shines in this page-turning mix of murder mystery and coming-of-age story.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
BEST HISTORICAL NOVEL
LAVENDER HOUSE BY LEV AC ROSEN
“Rosen’s deftly clued, noir-tinged plot successfully walks the line between hope and heartbreak, all while thoughtfully exploring the role of family in our lives. This fresh take on the classic private investigator begs to be brought to the big screen.”–Library Journal, starred review
THE LINDBERGH NANNY BY MARIAH FREDERICKS
“Betty painstakingly goes over every detail, endures multiple interrogations, and becomes a public target both in the U.S. and back home in Scotland. This is a compelling story about a courageous woman nearly forgotten by history, with a bittersweet mix of sorrow and redemption.”–Booklist
BEST CHILDREN’S/YA NOVEL
ENOLA HOLMES AND THE ELEGANT ESCAPADE: AN ENOLA HOLMES NOVEL BY NANCY SPRINGER
“Those familiar with the series should be at home here with the fiercely feminist and sartorially inclined detective, and those new to her adventures are provided enough backstory to follow and enjoy her exploits…Enola is a wholly likable character, and more time with her is always welcome.”–Kirkus Reviews
BEST CRITICAL/NON-FICTION
AMERICAN DEMON: ELIOT NESS AND THE HUNT FOR AMERICA’S JACK THE RIPPER BY DANIEL STASHOWER
2 starred reviews!
“Rather than a simple idealization of Ness’ often uncanny efficiency, we get a nuanced text about a deeply principled and exceptionally accomplished—though all-too-human—reformer. A riveting and illuminating account of an iconic figure’s involvement in a notorious murder investigation.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Stashower presents a warts-and-all portrait of Ness…[but] manages to engender empathy for Ness…The combination of a baffling unsolved crime with a nuanced portrayal of an American icon adds up to another winner for this talented author.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
