Here’s a bunch of reviews and stuff I’ve published in the Washington Post:
Clown Town: A Review
Mick Herron released his ninth book in his popular Slough House series (the books behind the acclaimed Slow Horses television show), and I had the chance to review it.
Not Quite Dead Yet: A Review
I reviewed Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder), her first novel for adults.
Let’s Talk About a Trend in Summer’s Thrillers: Cults
My buddy Tara Laskowski and I had a “conversation” about cult-themed thrillers for The Washington Post.
Bitterfrost: A Review
I reviewed Bryan Gruley’s Bitterfrost.
Saint of the Narrows Street: A Review
I reviewed William Boyle’s latest beautiful, Brooklyn-based novel.
Exposure: A Review
I reviewed Ramona Emerson’s sequel to her National Book Award-longlisted debut, Exposure.
Guide Me Home: A Review
I reviewed Attica Locke’s final book in her bestselling, award-winning Highway 59 trilogy.
Farewell, Amethystine: A Review
I reviewed a Walter Mosley mystery! Pretty cool to have the chance to do that.
Hunted: A Review
I reviewed Hunted by Abir Mukhurjee, and I got to use the phrases “Tocquevillian” and “hypermasculine killing machines.”
Smoke Kings: A Review
I reviewed Jahmal Mayfield’s debut novel, and even got to reference John Wick!
Hot Springs Drive: A Review
I reviewed the new Lindsay Hunter, Hot Springs Drive. I loved this book! Maybe my favorite book of the year and, keep in mind, I had a book out this same year.
The Traitor: A Review
I reviewed Ava Glass’s The Traitor.
Drowning: A Review
I reviewed T.J. Newman’s second novel, Drowning.
Review: Last Seen in Lapaz
The Washington Post asked me to review novelist Kwei Quartey’s Last Seen in Lapaz, and I thought it was a brutal, but terrific, book. Oh sorry, spoiler.
Reading List
The Washington Post asked if I’d write a crime fiction roundup, so I was happy to recommend four wonderful 2022 thrillers from Lisa Scottoline, Katie Gutierrez, Sally Hepworth, and Amanda Jayatissa.
