Mystery
Our take
The Butterfly House pairs clinical coldness with mounting dread, turning places of care into sites of betrayal and violence.

About the book
In this chilling Nordic noir thriller set in Copenhagen, detectives Jeppe Kørner and Anette Werner investigate a series of brutal murders tied to a hospital, blending psychological suspense, police procedural, and dark social commentary in this sequel to the #1 international bestseller The Tenant that is “brimming with personality, eccentric characters, and plenty of mystery and intrigue” (Crime by the Book).
Hospitals are places of care—or so it seems. In the coronary unit of a leading Copenhagen hospital, a nurse quietly administers a fatal overdose to an elderly patient.
Days earlier, a paperboy makes a gruesome discovery in the heart of the city: the nude body of a young woman in a fountain, her arms marked by precise incisions, her body completely drained of blood.
Detective Jeppe Kørner, navigating the aftermath of divorce and a fragile new relationship, takes the lead. His partner, Anette Werner—on maternity leave but unwilling to stay sidelined—begins her own unofficial investigation. But working outside the system draws her into increasingly dangerous territory.
As the case unfolds, Jeppe and Anette uncover a horrifying pattern of exploitation and control lurking within caregiving institutions. What they find is as unsettling as it is deadly—and far closer than they ever imagined.
A “thrillingly nerve-racking” (Shelf Awareness) Scandinavian crime novel, this gripping installment delivers a dark, atmospheric mystery exploring power, vulnerability, and the chilling consequences of misplaced trust.

About the book
A lawyer investigates the murder of an aspiring adoptive father: "A climax that will take most readers by surprise" (Chicago Tribune).
It's Ben Kincaid's first day as an associate at corporate giant Raven, Tucker & Tubb, and he's ready to start the long climb up the ladder to partnership. But he's barely cleared the first rung when a body trips him up.
Ben's first task is to arrange an adoption for one of the firm's biggest clients—a bit of grunt work that becomes interesting when he meets the child in question. Emily suffers from Korsakov's Syndrome, a rare disorder that prevents her from forming memories, and Jonathan and Bertha Adams want nothing more than to raise her as their own. But Kincaid has just begun getting the paperwork together when he gets a chilling phone call: Jonathan has been found dead, hacked to pieces in an alleyway. Investigating the killing will take Kincaid down a fearsome path, leading him to wish that, like Emily, he had the power to forget.

A FOLK TALE. A HORROR STORY. A LOVE STORY. AN ENCHANTMENT.
"A dark, gorgeous concoction.”—New York Times
“Beautiful, terrifying . . . . Destined to become a classic."—Washington Post
From an incendiary new talent, a contemporary queer folktale of literary horror about a mother and daughter living in the woods, for fans of Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood, and Julia Armfield.
Margot and Mama have lived by the forest ever since Margot can remember.
When Margot is not at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. People who have strayed too far from the road. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. Then she satisfies her burning appetite by picking apart their bodies.
But Mama’s want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a beautiful, white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires, and make her bid for freedom.
With this haunting gothic coming-of-age tale, debut novelist Lucy Rose explores how women swallow their anger, desire, and animal instincts—and wrings the relationship between mother and daughter until blood drips from it.

The Coast Road
Historical Fiction · Literary Fiction · Psychological Fiction
Our take
In a small 1990s Irish coast town, friendship becomes both refuge and risk for two women trapped by marriage, judgment, and the limits placed on their lives. When Colette returns home and is denied access to her children, Izzy becomes her link to the life she lost. The Coast Road is a literary drama of female longing, repression, and the painful cost of seeking freedom.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Winner of the Irish Book Awards Newcomer of the Year 2024
Shortlisted for the John McGahern Annual Book Prize
A poignant debut novel and work of Irish literary fiction about the lives of women in a claustrophobic coast town and the search for independence in a society that seeks to limit it.
“Murrin powerfully renders the ways that women’s freedom, individuality, and self-expression are stifled by religion, custom, and gossip.”—The New Yorker
“A painful, gorgeous debut.”—Elle
Set in 1990s Ireland, The Coast Road tells the story of two women—Izzy Keaveney, a housewife, and Colette Crowley, a poet. Colette has left her husband and sons for a married man in Dublin. When she returns to her home in County Donegal to try to pick up the pieces of her old life, her husband, Shaun, a successful businessman, denies her access to her children.
The only way she can see them is with the help of neighbour Izzy, acting as a go-between. Izzy also feels caught in a troubled marriage. The complex female friendship that develops between them in this powerful domestic drama will ultimately lead to tragedy for one, and freedom for the other.
Addictive as Big Little Lies with a depth and compassion that rivals the works of Claire Keegan, Elizabeth Strout, and Colm Tóibín, The Coast Road is a story about the limits placed on women’s lives in Ireland only a generation ago, and the consequences women have suffered trying to gain independence. Award-winning Irish author Alan Murrin reminds us of the price we are forced to pay to find freedom.

The Highland Witch
Historical Fiction · Literary Fiction · Historical Mystery
Our take
Imprisoned as a witch and awaiting execution, Corrag is asked to recount the violence that placed her at the center of a Highland massacre and a political storm far larger than herself.

A rescue in the middle of violence pulls a woman with nothing to spare into the path of something far more dangerous.

About the book
"An emotional thriller, packed with action, love, regrets, and criminal activity that will make your blood boil . . . a phenomenal story." —Fresh Fiction
Sometimes fate brings you together—only to tear you apart . . .
Growing up in the foster system, Quinn O'Meara made a point of never getting involved. But when she discovers a crying baby amid a fiery crime scene, she knows she has no choice. Suddenly in way over her head, Quinn turns to the police, unintentionally positioning herself in the crosshairs of a deadly human-trafficking ring.
The last time homicide detective Nick Saldano saw Quinn, she was still the young girl he'd shared a foster home with. The girl who'd loved and cared for him when no one else had. Now here she was, gorgeously all grown-up—and in terrible danger.
Unwilling to lose her again, Nick insists on keeping Quinn close, especially when the bond they once shared heatedly slides into desire. Quinn finally has someone worth holding on to, but what kind of future can they have when she might not live to see tomorrow?

Thrown from 1902 into an alternate 1973 ruled by imperial airships and British power, Captain Oswald Bastable must confront a world that reflects his own beliefs back at him in disturbing ways.

About the book
Set in an unstable world where the British Empire rules over all, this genre-defying novel blends steampunk, alternative history, and time travel science fiction
It is 1973, and the stately airships of the Great Powers hold benign sway over a peaceful world. The balance of power is maintained by the British Empire—a most equitable and just Empire, ruled by the beloved King Edward VIII. A new world order, with peace and prosperity for all under the law. Yet, moved by the politics of envy and perverse utopianism, not all of the Empire's citizens support the marvelous equilibrium.
Flung from the North East Frontier of 1902 into this world of the future, Captain Oswald Bastable is forced to question his most cherished ideals, discovering to his horror that he has become a nomad of the time streams, eternally doomed to travel the wayward currents of a chaotic multiverse.
The first in the Nomad of the Time Streams trilogy, The Warlord of the Air sees Bastable fall in with the anarchists of this imperial society and set in train a course of events more devastating than he could ever have imagined.
