Week of January 27, 2025

Paperback releases for the week of January 27th include Ashley Elston's adult debut novel, FIRST LIE WINS, which, according to our reviewer Ray Palen, is "extremely clever and throws one twist after another at you in a narrative that will consume you straight through to the dynamic finale"; FINLAY DONOVAN ROLLS THE DICE, the fourth installment in Elle Cosimano's beloved mystery series featuring Finlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime, Vero; THE LOST TOMB by Douglas Preston, in which a jaw-dropping discovery of an Egyptian tomb opens up a slew of archaeological mysteries and deadly tales; Dolly Alderton's GOOD MATERIAL, a sharply funny and exquisitely relatable story of romantic disaster and friendship --- and how to survive both; and DEAR SISTER, a profound, intimate story of resilience and the unbreakable bond of family from Michelle Horton, who fights the criminal justice system to release her incarcerated sister after she kills her longtime abuser.
