#ewgc #4 in An American In Paris Mystery series, IN THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MURDER by @colleengleason.bsky.social is due out in April from @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social. Love this series and this one was no exception.

In THE MOONSHINE WOMEN by Michelle Collins Anderson, three sisters take over their father’s moonshine business in Prohibition-era Ozarks. This is a moving story of reinvention, sisterhood, and love. #ewgc

EDMONIA by Brianne Baker is an impressive work of biographical fiction celebrating the life of the first Black-Native American sculptress to achieve international renown. This compelling debut bristles with a feverish energy and is almost impossible to put down. #ewgc

If Ann Patchett is writing it, I'm reading it!

Loved WHEN NO ONE ELSE WILL by Amanda Skenandore. Based on a real clinic in 1940s Chicago, this is a compelling and thoughtful novel about friendship, motherhood, and women’s rights to health care. Give this to fans of A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult or Looking for Jane by Heather Marshall. #ewgc

MOLKA, @thetimes.com bestselling author Monika Kim’s provocative follow-up to The Eyes Are the Best Part, takes readers into a perilous world of voyeurism, scandal, female rage, and vengeance . . . pursued with a very sharp kitchen knife.

The need for revenge never gets old... read NYT bestselling author Julia London's latest featuring four former heisters who put their past grievances and current aches behind them to take down a crypto-bro #ewgc bit.ly/4knpvJB

WON’T BE LONG NOW by Elizabeth Hardinger is set in 1950s-60s Kansas. Known in her family as an “odd-wad,” Billie Enholm is brilliant but awkward in social situations. Nowadays we might refer to her as neurodivergent, but at the time there was no such understanding. Powerful and poignant. #ewgc

If you loved THE EYES ARE THE BEST PART, you'll love Monika Kim's sophmore horror novel, MOLKA (4.28.26), even more. Perfect for fans of revenge horror novels like Never Saw Me Coming and They Never Learn. Reach out (lackerman@kensingtonbooks.com) for print ARCs! #EWGC Edelweiss DRC: bit.ly/MolkaDRC

Next up? One of these (1/3): DAUGHTER OF EGYPT by Marie Benedict, THE MOONSHINE WOMEN by Michelle Collins Anderson, THE BEHEADING GAME by Rebecca Lehmann, LADY TREMAINE by Rachel Hochhauser. #ewgc

PORTRAIT OF A WITCH UNDONE by K.S. Shay uses one of the largest art heists in history at the Gardner Museum as a jumping off point into a story of witches and magic with gothic undertones and action aplenty. #ewgc

Moss'd In Space by Rebecca Thorne

The Disaster Gay Detective Agency by Lev AC Rosen

Molka by Monica Kim

Accumulation by Aimee Pokwatka

And four titles I hope to get to real soon: can any title be better than Moss'd in Space? Molka and Accumulation are by authors whose prior novels I really loved. And yes, to all the gay detective novels! #ewgc #booksky

The cover of The Curse of Hester Gardens depicts a fire in orange, yellow and blue just above an apartment complex drawn in black and white. At first glance the apartments look like kindling for the fire.

I love horror combining supernatural horror with real-world ones, and THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS by Tamika Thompson was truly unforgettable . A mother desperately tries to keep her sons safe in a housing project haunted by gun violence, racism, and maybe more than a few vengeful ghosts. #ewgc 📚 💙

Inspired by Angela's time as a perfume writer infused with the enchanted atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest is a charming cozy mystery with notes of magical realism. #ewgc

If it's set at a shore town (or better yet, a Jersey shore town), I'm all over it! HAVE A GREAT SUMMER by Francesca Cocchi (OS 5.26.26) isn't just a romance novel...it's about hometown nostalgia, female friendship, and self discovery. It's the perfect summer / beach read! #EWGC #HAGS bit.ly/HAGS2026

The Villa, Once Beloved by Victor Manibo

Loving THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED by Victor Manibo so far! It's got a killer opening that just pull you in completely. It's got these perfect modernized gothic vibes of a young woman being pulled into the curses of a rich family in the Philippines. #ewgc #booksky

I snagged a copy of this book at Heartland Fall Forum a few weeks ago because it sounded amazing. Haven't started it yet (I'm on a thriller kick at the moment) but will soon!

THE CASE OF THE MURDERED MUCKRAKER by Rob Osler features a feisty, independent, bike-riding female private investigator in 1898 Chicago. She is just starting out as a PI, still trying to prove herself, when a scandalous case jeopardizes her future. #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social

I will send you a copy! The ARCs came in this week.
