A picture of a phone with the audiobook Twice the Trouble by Ash Clifton

Really enjoyed this debut by fellow Edgar nominee @ashcliftonwriter.bsky.social. It's a mystery thriller about PI Noland Twice and his search for stolen funds in a world where everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum of shady. Corruption, codes, and well-drawn characters abound!

Thanks for listening! Hope you enjoy it!

The cover of Samantha Downing's new book, Too Old for This, on a backdrop of teacups and a teapot.

PRE-ORDER THIS ONE RIGHT NOW! I've read and loved everything by Samantha Downing, but this just might top the list. It's darkly comedic, the timing is pitch perfect, and the last line? Chef’s kiss.

Thanks @samanthadowning.bsky.social for the early copy of this absolute gem of a book!

A Google Alert screenshot for Audrey Lee about the Edgar Awards.

It's just heartening when your Google Alert isn't an obituary, for once.
