New month, new books! April has got some good ones 💐 @crimereads.bsky.social https://crimereads.com/the-best-mysteries-thrillers-and-crime-novels-of-april-2026/

We're so excited that THE SPEED QUEEN by Stewart O'Nan and three Len Deighton novels, including CITY OF GOLD, CLOSE-UP, and ONLY WHEN I LARF, are officially out! 📚

"[T]he second half of the story is a roller coaster of emotions and action, hurtling toward an unexpected finale." Five-star review of RUBY FALLS on @bookbrowse.bsky.social!🤩 @ginphillips.bsky.social https://www.bookbrowse.com/mag/reviews/index.cfm/ref/ed331520#review

DON'T FORGET ME, LITTLE BESSIE by James Lee Burke is nominated for this year's Reading the West 36th Annual Longlist in the Fiction Category! https://readingthewest.com/36th-annual-longlist/

It's been almost eleven years since its publication, but THE SYMPATHIZER never gets old! https://screenrant.com/perfect-pullitzer-prize-winning-novels-aged-well/

"Whether readers listen to RUBY FALLS in the dark or read it with all the lights on, they'll want to carve out some time to explore this rewarding historical mystery." Love this review of RUBY FALLS! @ginphillips.bsky.social https://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/ruby-falls-by-gin-phillips#

In light of Len Deighton's passing, here's a look at some of his best work (though his legacy extends far beyond this list): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/len-deighton-best-novels/?ICID=continue_without_subscribing_reg_first

THE RELUCTANT SHERIFF is now available in paperback! "Offutt has built a world full of complex backstories, teased out through storytelling that should tempt a reader to go back to the beginning of the series and watch it all unfold.”—Irish Times

We are deeply saddened to share that Len Deighton has died at 97. Author of outstanding espionage novels like THE IPCRESS FILES and BOMBER, his distinct and subversive voice revolutionized modern spy fiction. He will be missed.
