Thrillers & Mysteries
Suspicious deaths & inexplicable disappearances. These titles will keep you on the edge of your seat as you race along to uncover the truth and prevent the next tragedy. Although we should warn you, not all of these narrators are entirely reliable…
A winding, imaginative, genre-defying story. Part murder mystery, part fairy tale, Drive Your Plow is a thrilling philosophical examination of the ways in which some living creatures are privileged above others.

At the center of the tale is a drowned child, pulled from the river's icy waters and pronounced dead, until she miraculously awakens. It's the late 19th century, and the girl won't speak, so it's left to the full cast of fascinating characters — from the scientifically-minded local nurse, to a couple grieving the disappearance of their own young daughter, to the River Thames itself — to make sense of who she is and how she survived, through religion, folklore, and emerging science.

The deadpan, misandrist thriller of our dreams. Set in Nigeria, this debut novel moves at a breakneck clip as it explores the rivalry and bond of two sisters — Ayoola (who keeps murdering her boyfriends) and Korede (who keeps cleaning up the bodies) — and their distinct ways of navigating a deeply patriarchal society with a shared history of abuse at the hands of men.
