The gripping and haunting new crime thriller from the award-winning author of The Last Thing to Burn

A Thorn in the Rose

'Those looking for the next Lessons in Chemistry - a story of ferociously bright, feisty women holding their own in a man's world - may have found it ... this is a rich read, heartbreaking, engrossing and intellectually stimulating' New Zealand Listener 'Sweeping and intimate . a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken' SHELBY VAN PELT, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures 'A magnificent, spellbinding love story' CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of Broken Country _____ 1976, Rhode Island. Lily Webb has spent years trying to build a steady, predictable life, far from her hometown marred by tragedy and the sister she cannot seem to save from herself. Jane was always the brilliant one: fierce, complicated and drawn to the mysteries of the universe. But after their mother's death, Jane's gifts became entangled with addiction, pulling the sisters into a cycle of love, guilt and heartbreak that neither could escape. Lily has found comfort in a quiet marriage to a devoted scientist, one who opened her eyes to the beauty of the natural world and offered her safety and stability. But when her first love, a boy she lost under devastating circumstances, returns, Lily is forced to confront the past she thought she had buried. As old wounds reopen, and her fragile bond with Jane grows ever more tenuous, Lily must navigate the tension between the life she's built and the life she once imagined for herself. A decades-spanning tale rich with questions of faith, science and the ties that hold us together, Laws of Love and Logic is a compelling, emotionally gripping novel about sisterhood, forgiveness and the complicated nature of love.

Twenty years later, two women are drawn together to discover the truth of what happened to Roisin: Roisin’s older sister Deedee, a rookie cop who’s barely hanging on to the appearance of keeping it all together, and Roisin’s childhood best friend Caitlin, a petty criminal who was the last person to see the young girl before she disappeared, now returned to her hometown after her mother’s death. With old wounds made fresh after decades of mistrust, Caitlin and Deedee must reckon with their shadowy pasts, the monsters that still haunt them, and the role they each may have played in Roisin’s disappearance. The secrets of that long-ago summer rise to the surface, and they will expose the truth that many in the small town are desperate to keep buried. The siren of the Hanging Woods rings out once more. After all, nothing can stay hidden forever.

A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage

ONCE UPON A TIME LIKE YOU'VE NEVER READ IT BEFORE... DI Lyla Rondell is on the case of a lifetime. Tasked with investigating a series of perplexing deaths, the only lead she has is that each appears to be based on a different classic fairy tale. Far from the stuff of bedtime stories, the press is having a field day with what they have named the Grimm Ripper Murders. But as the bodies stack up, Lyla's whole world is about to flip on its head. Because the killer's bloody trail stretches deep into her own origin story, and when she discovers the truth, nothing will ever be the same again. Faced with the fact that everything she knows is fiction, Lyla will have to take a little creative license of her own if she's going to turn the final page on the killings... 'An exquisite puzzle of a crime thriller, it revels in the shadows, as reality is savagely entwined with the very roots of storytelling itself... Prepare to be spellbound because A. K. Benedict is a master of this darkest art' JANICE HALLETT 'A clever, clever, thoroughly meta, extraordinarily enjoyable modern fairy-tale with layer after layer of intrigue and a breathless pace, I loved it, especially the delicious happy ever after' ANDREA MARA 'Hugely inventive and mind-bendingly clever' CLAIRE McGOWAN &nbsp; 'A fairytale trickster of a book, witty, sly and wickedly clever; it gripped me from first page to last.&nbsp;This is the thriller you'd get if Angela Carter kidnapped Stephen King and made him write with toadstool ink' KIT WHITFIELD &nbsp; 'Some passages read like Agatha Christie, some like Angela Carter&nbsp;- but all of it is written with the smoothness and intelligence that is AK Benedict's signature style. With charm and chills often on the same page, this is a serpentine novel that refuses to give up its secrets until it's good and ready' CHARLOTTE BOND

Dandelion is Dead

From the author of&nbsp;Hollow Kingdom,&nbsp;a fantastically funny story featuring a cast of colorful characters in a dying Italian village and a giant truffle that changes their fate forever in this “deliciously absurd tale....I savored every page of this book.” (Shelby Van Pelt, author of&nbsp;Remarkably Bright Creatures) A 2025&nbsp;Washington Post Notable Work of Fiction After nearly losing the election to a geriatric donkey, newly installed Mayor Delizia Miccuci can’t help but feel like the sun has finally set on the rural Italian village of Lazzarini Boscarino. Tourists only stop by to ask for directions, Nonna Amara’s cherished&nbsp;ristorante&nbsp;is long shuttered, and the town hall is disgustingly overrun with&nbsp;glis glis&nbsp;poo—even Postman Duccio has been disgraced. All that’s left is Bar Celebrità, a rustic establishment where weary locals gather to quibble over decades-long disputes, submit their poor stomachs to bartender Giuseppina’s volcanic espresso, and wonder what will become of the place where together they’ve spent their entire lives. &nbsp; Little do the villagers know that local truffle hunter Giovanni Scarpazza has just happened upon something that could change everything. A truffle—un&nbsp;tartufo, that is—sits beneath the soil with the power to either be the greatest gift or the foulest curse the village has ever seen. Written with the same enchanting style and raucous humor that defines&nbsp;Hollow Kingdom&nbsp;and&nbsp;Feral Creatures, Tartufo is a reflection on the interconnectedness of life in all its manifestations—and how holding on to harmony in the face of hardship can grow something beautiful and rare beneath the surface.
