The Guardian included Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter in their recent review round-up of the best thrillers!
"American writer Karin Slaughter’s Pieces of Her (HarperCollins, £20) shifts between two time zones, the present and the 1980s, to show the change of attitudes in sexual politics. Andrea Oliver, a 911 operator, has always been intimidated by her high-achieving parents. She is celebrating her birthday in a mall cafe when a gunman opens fire, and is coolly dispatched by her mother, Laura. This devastating action changes Andrea’s image of Laura, whose newfound celebrity results in the revelation of her hidden past. Slaughter judiciously keeps the characterisation of her imperilled protagonists to the fore."

Fortune | July 6, 2018
I'll Eat When I'm Dead by Barbara Bourland was included in Fortune's round-up: "Your Summer Reading List: Page-Turning Novels Set in Politics, Finance, and Tech."
"Let me tell you, contrary to you might have heard, books about fashion can be both smart and funny. Barbara Bourland’s snarky debut novel manages to tackle the politics of fashion magazines, the pitfalls and pratfalls being a social media influencer, and the true dangers of the pressures put on women for their appearances and the very real threats to their mental and physical health. And yet Bourland walks the line between serious and comedy so deftly that anyone who has read a women’s magazine or caught an episode of America’s Next Top Model will understand the jokes and the lessons without conflict."

The Real Book Spy | March 5, 2018
“In a genre that predominantly features alpha male characters, K.J. Howe re-writes the rulebook by making her protagonist a strong female operative with a medical condition, adding realism without sacrificing any of the action. Thea Paris can throw down with the very best the genre has to offer, and so can Howe.
From start to finish, Skyjack is one wild, twisting, and flat-out entertaining thrill ride. If you’re searching for a great new series to jump into, look no further.

“Good thing Thea has serious skills in fighting, shooting, and flying a plane. The enthralling plot moves across Europe with lightning speed, linking a WWII legend with an underground militant group’s plan to release a deadly toxic substance. In-depth character studies match the high tension. With this nail-biter, Howe seals her place as a first-class purveyor of adventure stories showcasing strong women characters.”

Ilka Jensen is nothing if not resourceful. In the first novel in Sara Blaedel’s new series, The Undertaker’s Daughter (Grand Central, $26), Jensen leaves her home in Copenhagen and flies to Racine, Wis., after her estranged father leaves her an undertaking business in his will. On her first day, Jensen must add pet dogs to the plans for a funeral service, pick up a severely mangled body at the morgue (“Bring along some extra plastic. It sounds like it might be a mess”) and come up with $60,000 to keep the I.R.S. from freezing her assets. To make this new life complete, the police inform her that one of the bodies in her freezer is probably a murderer. Most amateur sleuths hold down professional jobs to support their unofficial detective work. Blaedel has come up with an especially challenging occupation for Jensen, but this 6-foot-tall Viking goddess is strong enough to carry it all by herself.
