Set in the Irish film industry, this playful novel is another signature high-concept thriller from a new master of the genre. – Dwyer Murphy, CrimeReads editor-in-chief The result is an intensely satisfying crime story. Mann’s brooding moments of sublime isolation are there in abundance, combined with Gardiner’s deft touch for modern thrillers. It’s a novel about the growing complications of global crime and about individuals pushing deep into that moral abyss.

Really, one should never attend any party ever, and instead just read delicious crime novels about them. Ruth Ware’s In A Dark, Dark Wood is also a good warning against doing this. Drama! This is bound to be one of the best psychological thrillers out this year, and also a very compelling warning against attending any event to which you have been invited by your estranged best friend. – Olivia Rutigliano, CrimeReads associate editor Do you like footnotes?

You don’t want to miss My Government Means to Kill Me, the debut novel from Rasheed Newson, producer and writer of such acclaimed series as Bel-Air, The Chi, and Narcos. Rasheed Newson, My Government Means to Kill Me Complicit is both a # thriller and a complex literary achievement that sheds an important light on Hollywood’s darkest secrets and brings an essential and underrepresented perspective-that of an Asian-American film producer-to the fore. Now she’s back with another story that mines her own experiences, this time centered on the toxicity of the film industry. Winnie Li stunned the crime and literary worlds with her intense debut, Dark Chapter, based around a traumatic incident in the author’s own life and nominee for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel.
