Here’s a bunch of reviews and stuff I’ve published in 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.
