Kerr's 13th Gunther mystery is an outstanding historical thriller steeped in intrigue with a superb narrative, pace, and characterization. [See Prepub Alert, 10/22/17.]
Child does a stellar job this time by not following his customary formula; his usually stoic hero who rarely displays softness and compassion is hit hard emotionally by this case. [See Prepub Alert, 5/15/17.]
Le Carré incorporates many layers of meaning and numerous memorable characters into this intense story that pulses with tension, humor, and moral ambivalence. Smiley fans will be lining up for this one. [See Prepub Alert, 3/8/17.]
By splitting his narrative among Porter, 4MK's diary, victim Emory, and Det. Clair Norton, Barker adds multiple perspectives, making following this intricate story unnecessarily more difficult. Still, fans of the movie Se7en and gruesome serial killer thrillers will hang on for the ride. [Barker has signed on to write a prequel to Bram Stoker's Dracula with Dacre Stoker.—Ed.]
In this skillfully plotted thriller, Kerr punctures the present with the painful past. Fans of the series won't be disappointed. [See Prepub Alert, 10/24/16.]
Fans will marvel at the creative manner in which Deaver incorporates current technological and societal trends into the plots of his thrillers—in this case, remote devices signaling smart controllers. [See Prepub Alert, 10/4/15.]
Mosley writes chaotic and convoluted stories but resolves them in creative and imaginative ways. His colorful character descriptions ("her voice was…in the register of gold") invite readers to enter Mosley's world and find delight amid destruction ("her beauty denied her 45 years"). [See Prepub Alert, 11/17/14.]
