THE INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
"A quietly moving and intimate tale about family mysteries in a small town." —People magazine
"We'll make a list. A list of all the people and things we see that are suspicious. And then… we'll investigate them."
Twelve-year-old Miv is panicking. Life has been complicated since her mom got sick, and now her dad is talking about wanting to move their family away from the town Miv has lived in her whole life—because of the murders. Young women are dying, everyone is afraid, and no one knows who the culprit might be.
But as far as Miv is concerned, leaving Yorkshire and her best friend Sharon simply isn't an option, no matter the dangers lurking round their way; or the strangeness at home that started the day Miv's mum stopped talking. Perhaps if she could solve the case of the disappearing women, they could stay after all?
So, Miv and Sharon decide to make a list: a list of all the suspicious people and things on their street. People they know. People they don't. But their search for the truth reveals more secrets in their neighborhood, within their families—and between each other—than they ever thought possible. What if the real mystery Miv needs to solve is the one that lies much closer to home?

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Features a new introduction on the origins of the Will Trent novels and Triptych’s place in the series
“Crime fiction at its finest.”—Michael Connelly
From Atlanta’s wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread—and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael’ s lover before she became his enemy. But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer’s trail in the most coincidental of ways—and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open.
In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the bestselling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman. Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, Triptych ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.

About the book
THE INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER
Seven authors enter the manor
Can they survive the story within?
When legendary horror author Mortimer Queen passes, a group of writers find themselves invited to his last will and testament reading expecting a piece of his massive fortune. Each have their own unique connection to the literary icon, some known, some soon to be discovered, and they've been waiting for their chance to step into the author's shoes for some time.
Instead, they arrive at his grand manor and are invited to play a game. The rules are simple, solve the riddle and progress to the next room. If they don't, the manor will take one of them for itself.
You see, the Queen estate was built on the bones of Mortimer's family, and like any true horror story, the house is still very, very hungry.
With the clever, locked-room thrills of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone with the ghostly horror of The Fall of the House of Usher, How to Survive a Horror Story is a bright, biting, thrill-ride that begs us to contemplate how the best horror stories come to be.

Mystery
Our take
A quiet escape to warm water and open horizons collapses when danger follows a man who thought he left violence behind.

Choose your retailer
About the book
When Jesse McDermitt leaves the Marine Corps, he has no plans in place for the rest of his life. His greatest skill is neutralizing the enemy from up to a mile away, but there are few opportunities in the civilian world for a warrior. He just doesn't want to spend the coming winter wearing a heavy coat and boots.
Jesse knows his way around boats and has an old friend in the Florida Keys, living day to day in paradise. Being an experienced diver and angler, Jesse immediately heads south toward the end of the road in Key West, a long dormant dream in his thoughts.
With the help of friends, new and old, and a bulging bank account, Jesse finds just the right boat to not only live on, but soon uses to start a “very part-time” charter business. Things go smoothly until a barefoot Carolina girl, a Cat-5 hurricane, and a human trafficker all conspire against him at the same time.
Danger lurks in the sparkling waters off the sleepy little town of Marathon, in the heart of the Florida Keys, as well as in the dark, murky waters of the Everglades. But danger doesn't expect to run into someone like Jesse McDermitt—a man who will not only respond swiftly in facing it, but with overwhelming force.

About the book
When a cold case in Texas leads to a sinister string of disappearances, a newcomer to the small town helps a detective piece together the clues in this new romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin.
Corporate lawyer Ava Burch has had enough of the big city and the daily grind. She grew up with her father, who raised search-and-rescue dogs, in rural Texas and has moved to the small town of Cuervo to spend time in the dry, rugged wilderness near Big Bend National Park. When she and her dog, Huck, discover an abandoned campsite on a volunteer search-and-rescue mission, she’s perplexed, but she carefully photographs it all the same.
All Grant Wycoff can see when he looks at Ava is a city slicker—with her designer jeans and shiny car—who has no business on a serious team made of seasoned outdoorsmen and retired cops. But when she tells him of her findings on the trail, he sees there’s more to her than meets the eye.
Ava’s discovery reminds Grant of the unsolved case of a young woman who went missing two years ago. As they look into the campsite further, another woman disappears under odd circumstances. With time running out, Ava and Grant must work against the brutal heat from both the Texas sun and their own electric chemistry to solve the case.

Our take
A week meant for celebration turns fragile when long-buried choices resurface under threat. Mountain Shadows follows Janet Sullivan as danger forces her into close quarters with the sheriff she never quite left behind. This small-town romantic suspense weaves protective instincts, unresolved love, and escalating menace as loyalty, desire, and safety collide in a place that remembers everything.

About the book
She wants Paris. He wants her. But someone else wants to rule Rosemary Mountain, and will stop at nothing to take it…
All Janet Sullivan has to do is get through her daughter’s wedding without falling apart. Then she can break the news that she’s moving overseas—permanently—for a fresh start of her own. But when someone threatens them all, Janet is forced to spend the week with the one person she wants most to avoid—Greg Morrison, the only man who could tempt her to change her plans.
Sheriff Greg Morrison has a town to protect, and the last thing he needs is to babysit a woman who already let him know her future plans would never include him. But when the threats turn deadly, he’ll make it his mission to protect her—and try to convince her to stay at the same time.
Author Note: Mountain Shadows is a small-town romantic suspense novel with fade-to-black heat. Each book in the Rosemary Mountain Romantic Suspense series is a standalone novel featuring a different couple. This series is great for readers who love small towns, found family, protective heroes, sizzling banter, steamy kisses, and fade-to-black romance that is never explicit.
