"Andrews' latest, after The Newcomer (2021), is a frothy combination of a hectic old-house-renovation story and a cozy mystery with a hint of romance centered around a likable heroine who has been holding too many feelings at bay. A perfect summer escape." --Booklist

Andrews’s fans will eat this up." --Publishers Weekly"A fun story with twists and turns that will appeal to romantics and cold-case fans alike." --Kirkus“Mary Kay Andrews has done it again” -- Mystery & Suspense“Seamlessly combines romance and mystery” -- PopSugar“Imagine if HGTV and a murder mystery met, fell in love and unexpectedly produced a rom-com.” -- E!

“Even if the premise of This Time Tomorrow is a flight from realism, the scope of Alice’s concerns is human-scale and plausible…although her travels through time allow her to reconsider her romantic history, the person whose past she is most eager to set right is her father, a man whose imminent mortality deepens the novel’s ambient nostalgia into something pressing and poignant.”-- The New York Times
“As always, Straub creates characters who feel fully alive, exploring the subtleties of their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. . . . Combine Straub's usual warmth and insight with the fun of time travel and you have a winner.”—Kirkus, STARRED review“Known for her plucky voice and sweetly amusing ensemble comedies, Emma Straub returns with her most emotionally resonant work yet…Beneath the layers of ’90s nostalgia and sci-fi portals to the past lies something even more satisfying: a complicated tale that doesn’t feel the slightest bit complicated.”—Vogue“Dig out your old band T's and crack open this charming family saga . . . Unlike other time travel stories, this one's not about figuring out how to get back to the present but how to appreciate it when you do.” —Good Housekeeping“Brimming with whimsy and humor, the story of a young woman’s second chance at life is grounded by the unforced father-daughter relationship at its center. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the tenderness.”–Elle3 min - The Murder Rule: by Dervla McTiernan | Book Review and Podcast

“Dervla McTiernan has become one of my favorite writers, and if you read The Murder Rule, she will quickly become one of yours. This book is diabolically clever, highly compelling, and deeply moving. I loved The Murder Rule and did not want it to end.” — Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Force and The Border
“Extraordinary. Haunting. An incredible thriller. I could not put this book down. Dervla McTiernan is a gifted writer with a very special way of telling a story. This is a heart-stopping roller coaster of a tale.” — Adrian McKinty, New York Times bestselling author of The Chain
“The Ruin is dark and compelling, with the satisfaction of a police procedural and the atmosphere of a gothic mystery. I was gripped by it, and by the complicated, resourceful characters of Aisling and Maude.” — Flynn Berry, author of Under the Harrow
"The best legal thriller I’ve read in years. Great writing, a gripping plot, intriguing characters … I read it in two sittings. She has a new fan!" — Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
The Murder Rule is a masterclass in manipulation from an author who knows just how to pull the strings without revealing her (amply skilled) hand.... Abundant plot twists, ethical ambiguities, and legal loopholes all conspire to make a cunning and compulsively readable story in which justice is in the eye of the beholder.... Dervla McTiernan is a name to know. — CriminalElement.com
"I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to compare this to Grisham at his very best. The Murder Rule is utterly absorbing, entertaining and intriguing. I thoroughly enjoyed it." — Liz Nugent, author of Lying in Wait
"Fans of past and present storylines and legal thrillers should pick this one up." — Book Riot
"Filled to the brim with complicated characters." — San Francisco Book Review on The Murder Rule

“The thriller master, Janet Evanovich, has launched a new series. Prepare for twists, action, and one of the best books of the year.” —Mystery & Suspense
“An action-packed adventure that delights much like the Indiana Jones films and the classic Romancing the Stone. It has everything, from killer snakes, military-grade assault weapons, and human sacrifice to romance and some top shelf lingerie that comes in handy for treating the wounded. A rollicking adventure and a great start to a new series.” —Booklist (starred review)“Moves at lightning speed and never stops…This new series feels distinct from Evanovich’s other hits, but every bit as addictive.” —Mystery Scene Magazine“Nobody cross-pollinates funny banter and unresolved sexual tension to better effect than Evanovich, and the mystery is all action, too.” —Amazon Book Review“I burned through The Recovery Agent…Just read and enjoy. I know I did.” – Sarah Weinman, The New York Times4 min - The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams | Book Review Podcast

“Enchanting, sorrowful, and wonderfully written, the book is a one-of-a-kind celebration of language and its importance in our lives. A must-have.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“In Williams’s exuberant, meticulously researched debut, the daughter of a lexicographer devotes her life to an alternative dictionary. . . . Williams’s feminist take on language will move readers.”—Publishers Weekly“Williams turns history as we know it on its head in this delightful debut, spotlighting those women and their contributions, using the awe-inspiring power of words themselves to illuminate them.”—Newsweek“[A] masterfully written, beautiful first novel that tells a fascinating story of language, love and loss.”—Historical Novel Society“The writing is glorious; I dog-eared many pages as I read, marking passages that helped me see words in a new way.”—Manhattan Book Review (starred review)“The novel you’ve been waiting for without even realizing it . . . Williams will convince you of a word’s importance in a most lovely and charismatic story.”—Bookreporter“A lexicographer’s dream of a novel, this is a lovely book to get lost in, an imaginative love letter to dictionaries.”—Booklist4 min - Finding Me: A Memoir by Viola Davis | Book Review Podcast

"Raw in its anger, shocking in its frankness, often downright vulgar—and wonderfully alive with Davis’ passion poured into every page." -- Associated Press
“It’s clear from the first page that Davis is going to serve a more intimate, unpolished account than is typical of the average (often ghost-written) celebrity memoir; Finding Me reads like Davis is sitting you down for a one-on-one conversation about her life, warts and all.” -- USA Today“Reading her memoir, Finding Me. . . you understand where her ability comes from: Only someone who has already been dragged into the depths of emotion readily knows how to get back there.” -- New York Times Magazine"An unvarnished chronicle of hard-won, well-earned success." -- Kirkus Reviews"Davis gives readers hope, encouraging us to look back and embrace childhood dreams or failures, let go of shame, and move forward to become the best version of ourselves." -- Booklist"Davis’s grit and determination are moving, and her unflinching reckoning with the “racism and misogyny” she faced in Hollywood makes her story of overcoming all the more effective. Fans will be utterly enthralled." -- Publishers Weekly(starred review)4 min - Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood | Book Review Podcast

A scientist should never cohabitate with her annoyingly hot nemesis—it leads to combustion.
Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn…As an environmental engineer, Mara knows all about the delicate nature of ecosystems. They require balance. And leaving the thermostat alone. And not stealing someone else’s food. And other rules Liam, her detestable big-oil lawyer of a roommate, knows nothing about. Okay, sure, technically she’s the interloper. Liam was already entrenched in his aunt’s house like some glowering grumpy giant when Mara moved in, with his big muscles and kissable mouth just sitting there on the couch tempting respectable scientists to the dark side…but Helena was her mentor and Mara’s not about to move out and give up her inheritance without a fight.The problem is, living with someone means getting to know them. And the more Mara finds out about Liam, the harder it is to loathe him…and the easier it is to love him.To read Sadie and Hannah’s stories look for the novellas Stuck with You and Below Zero, coming soon from Berkley!4 min - Book of Night by Holly Black | Book Review Podcast
