Seven Stars, Two Mysteries

Two mysteries. One Canadian, the other Icelandic. Seven starred reviews (Kirkus, we love you, but stop being... well... Kirkus). I'll let the reviews speak for themselves.

Bury Your Dead: "Brilliantly provocative" --Library Journal

"One of the most elaborately constructed and remarkably moving mysteries in years." --Booklist

"Bring on the awards." --Kirkus

"Few writers in any genre can match Penny's ability to combine heartbreak and hope in the same scene." --Publishers Weekly

A Night of Rebecca Cantrell

I recently had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite new authors, Rebecca Cantrell, at her reading/signing for A Night of Long Knives. The event was at the aptly named Mysterious Bookshop in downtown NYC (now I have to find the SF/F-only bookstore!), and was well attended by fans and publishing folk.

Debuts

Double Debut: Both Starred!

Do your patrons have a craving for historical mysteries? Great, because two fantastic debuts are heading their way.

The Holy Thief: In Soviet Russia, an investigator must scramble to find the murderer of an American girl. One wrong step means exile in Siberia.

"Ryan re-creates the toxic, terrorized atmosphere by plunging Korolev into a ghastly web where nothing is what it seems" --Library Journal (starred review)

Debuts

A Malice-ful Debut!

Ex-cop Moriah Dru thought she was on vacation, but that ends when a local judge asks her to help find missing sisters. What she uncovers is not an isolated incident, but a string of kidnappings, perpetrated by a sex-trafficking cartel with members named after chess pieces. And a snitch reveals that Moriah's only chance to find the sisters is before they're flown out of the country, to Costa Rica.

The latest winner of the Malice Domestic Best First Traditional Mystery Novel Competition, The End Game features a strong new heroine in a vivid Southern setting. Gerrie Ferris Finger puts a new spin on the classic mystery novel.

"Well-researched plot and snappy dialogue." --Publishers Weekly

Penny wins the AGATHA!

Congratulations to Louise Penny, whose title The Brutal Telling just won the Agatha award!

First the Booklist Top Ten, then an Agatha? And Talia just talked about it in the Booklist Mystery & Crime webinar, which I think is as prestigious as both those awards combined! I think I smell a NBCC award, maybe even a Nobel Peace Prize! Ok, maybe that's a stretch.
