Seventh Street: Prometheus

Furlong’s (“Bone Gap Travellers” series) domestic thriller will keep readers off balance, mirroring Mona’s psychological state. An engrossing and delightfully creepy read.

Budewitz’s sixth “Spice Shop” mystery (after The Solace of Bay Leaves) will please series fans with its cast of recurring characters and its recipes. Also hand it to readers who love the irresistible mixture of holiday and murder, and to enthusiasts of the gentler side of the genre.
