Sarah Crouch The Briars reviews

  • “One of my favourite reads of the year, The Briars is a show stopping, accomplished mystery that both captivated and intrigued me in equal measure – I couldn’t put it down. From the very first page, Sarah Crouch draws you into the beautifully realised setting of Lake Lumin in the Pacific Northwest with lush, lyrical descriptions that left me both longing to visit and deeply chilled. With nuanced, likeable characters, Crouch weaves a complex plot and tightens the tension until breaking point as murder haunts the lake and the past returns to shadow the present. A complex, thrilling page turner that will stay with you long after you finish reading.” (Sarah Pearse, Author of The Sanatorium)
  • “Sarah Crouch’s delicate and tantalizing prose in The Briars builds the scaffolding for an emotionally charged mystery as a troubled game warden probes for answers in the wilds of the lush Pacific Northwest — and in the vagaries of the treacherous landscape within. With complicated twists that build to a satisfying surprise, The Briars delivers a powerful emotional experience readers won’t be able to shake long after they put the book down. One of the best books I’ve read this year.” (Julie Carrick Dalton, author of The Last Beekeeper)

Blurb of the crime novel of Sarah Crouch

A lush and atmospheric novel of suspense following a young woman whose job as a game warden puts her in the path of a murderer in a small town eager to protect its own.

Desperate to escape a relationship gone bad, Annie Heston flees north to accept a job as a game warden in Lake Lumin, a picturesque town in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.

A cougar has been spotted in the area, and as Annie warns the community of the threat, she quickly discovers that not everyone in the tight-knit town is welcoming of outsiders, except for Daniel Barela, a reclusive carpenter who lives in the shadow of the mountain. They form an instant bond, though Annie soon comes to realize there is more to his past than meets the eye.

When the body of a young woman is found in the briars that border Daniel’s property, the peace Annie has found in Lake Lumin shatters. As she assists the local sheriff with the investigation, Annie must rely on her wilderness training and intuition to find a murderer hiding in plain sight.

Urgent and emotionally complex, The Briars is a captivating literary thriller that marries an exploration of human nature with a plot as thorny and twisted as the brambles for which it is named.

Sarah Crouch is born August 22, 1989 in Hockinson, Washington. She is the author of Middletide and The Briars, literary thrillers set in the Pacific Northwest, where she was raised. She is also known for her accolades in the world of athletics as a professional marathon runner.

Thomas Pynchon – Shadow Ticket

Thomas Pynchon Shadow Ticket review, recensie en informatie over de inhoud van de roman van de Amerikaanse schrijver. Op 7 oktober 2025 verschijnt bij Jonathan Cape de nieuwe roman van Thomas Pynchon de schrijver uit de Verenigde Staten. Er is geen Nederlandse vertaling van het boek verkrijgbaar.

Thomas Pynchon Shadow Ticket review en recensie

  • “Pynchon’s gift has always been his ability to render America in its full strangeness … The book is full of exuberance. Pynchon’s sentences themselves are so alive, so pleasurable … The fact that Shadow Ticket is brilliant and prescient isn’t a surprise; that it exudes so much joy and sensuousness is.” (Megan Nolan, Daily Telegraph)
  • “Brilliant fun … Rollicking … Pynchon’s prose is still as balletically dazzling as the trick shot Lew teaches Hicks… It’s not just that no one else writes quite like Pynchon; it’s that no one even tries.” (The Washington Post)
  • “Pynchon’s livewire prose hops from subject to subject, joins the dots and makes patterns … The novel sets out with a song in its heart and mischievous spring in its step, but it edges into darkness.” (Guardian)
  • “A 1930s detective tale with a sucker punch ending . . . Dark as a vampire’s pocket, light-fingered as a jewel thief, Shadow Ticket capers across the page with breezy, baggy-pants assurance – and then pauses on its way down the fire escape just long enough to crack your heart open.” (Los Angeles Times)

Flaptekst van de nieuwe roman van Thomas Pynchon

A private eye is catapulted on to a continent-hopping journey that proves difficult to escape – from the bestselling, award-winning American author Thomas Pynchon.

Milwaukee 1932, the Great Depression going full blast, repeal of Prohibition just around the corner, Al Capone in the federal pen, the private investigation business shifting from labour-management relations to the more domestic kind. Hicks McTaggart, a onetime strikebreaker turned private eye, thinks he’s found job security until he gets sent out on what should be a routine case, locating and bringing back the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune who’s taken a mind to go wandering. Before he knows it, he’s been shanghaied onto a transoceanic liner, ending up eventually in Hungary where there’s no shoreline, a language from some other planet, and enough pastry to see any cop well into retirement – and of course no sign of the runaway heiress he’s supposed to be chasing.

By the time Hicks catches up with her he will find himself also entangled with Nazis, Soviet agents, British counterspies, swing musicians, practitioners of the paranormal, outlaw motorcyclists, and the troubles that come with each of them, none of which Hicks is qualified, forget about being paid, to deal with.

Surrounded by history he has no grasp on and can’t see his way around in or out of, the only bright side for Hicks is it’s the dawn of the Big Band Era and as it happens he’s a pretty good dancer. Whether this will be enough to allow him somehow to Lindy-hop his way back again to Milwaukee and the normal world, which may no longer exist, is another question.

Thomas Pynchon is born on 8 May 1937 in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York. Pynchon is often noted for his complex works of postmodern fiction, which are often characterized by dense Vineland Thomas Pynchon novel from 1990 first editionreferences to history, popular culture, literature, music, science, and mathematics, as well as by humor and explorations of paranoia. He is the author of the novels V., The Crying of Lot 49, Gravity’s Rainbow, Vineland, Mason & Dixon, Against the Day, Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge. Also he wrote Slow Learner, a collection of short stories, published in 1984. He received the National Book Award for Gravity’s Rainbow in 1974.

Flaptekst van de Capri-thriller van Katy Hays

Ook een zonnig eiland in Italië kan duistere geheimen verbergen.

Dertig jaar geleden werd Sarah Lingate dood aangetroffen in de zee bij Capri. Ondanks vermoedens dat haar man en zijn zeer rijke familie er iets mee te maken hadden, werd er geconcludeerd dat het om een tragisch ongeluk ging. In de decennia die volgden weerhielden de roddels en nare herinneringen de Lingates er niet van om iedere zomer vakantie te vieren op het prachtige eiland. Maar nu treffen ze bij aankomst in hun vaste vakantievilla een verontrustende verrassing aan: de ketting die Sarah droeg op de avond dat ze stierf.

Terwijl lang verborgen geheimen naar boven komen, wordt de loyaliteit van de familie tot het uiterste getest en al snel wordt één ding duidelijk: niet iedereen zal het eiland levend verlaten.

Flaptekst van de nieuwe Robert Langdon thriller van Dan Brown

De nieuwe thriller van de wereldwijde bestsellerauteur Dan Brown. Zijn meest ingenieuze thriller tot nu toe een razendsnel en uitdagend meesterwerk met Robert Langdon in de hoofdrol.

Robert Langdon is terug en reist in Het ultieme geheim, de nieuwe, meeslepende thriller van De Da Vinci Code-auteur Dan Brown, naar Praag voor een lezing van zijn vriendin Katherine Solomon, maar hun verblijf ontaardt in chaos door een brute moord.

Praag. De gevierde hoogleraar kunstgeschiedenis en symboliek Robert Langdon woont een baanbrekende lezing bij van Katherine Solomon, een prominent wetenschapper met wie hij sinds kort een relatie heeft. Katherine staat op het punt een explosief boek te presenteren waarvan de inhoud wereldschokkende ontdekkingen bevat omtrent het menselijk bewustzijn; ontdekkingen die eeuwenlang gevestigde opvattingen en geloofsovertuigingen onderuit zullen halen. Door een brute moord ontaardt het verblijf van de twee wetenschappers in een complete chaos die culmineert in de verdwijning van Katherine én haar manuscript.

Robert Langdon ontdekt dat hij wordt bedreigd door een machtige organisatie en wordt achternagezeten door een ijzingwekkende tegenstander, ontstaan uit een eeuwenoude Praagse legende.

Terwijl het plot zich uitbreidt naar Londen en New York, blijft Langdon wanhopig op zoek naar Katherine… en naar antwoorden. In een zinderende race door de werelden van zowel de futuristische wetenschap als die van de mystiek, eeuwenoude mythen en volksoverleveringen, ontdekt Langdon de schokkende waarheid over een geheim project dat ons denken over het menselijk bewustzijn voorgoed zal veranderen.

Dan Brown is geboren op 22 juni 1964 in Exeter, New Hampshire in de Verenigde Staten. Hij de wereldwijde bestsellerauteur van onder meer de thrillers De Da Vinci Code, Het Bernini Mysterie, Het Verloren Symbool, Inferno en Oorsprong. Tot hij besloot zich volledig op het schrijven te richten, doceerde Dan Brown Engels aan de Phillips Exeter Academy. Als zoon van een prijswinnend wiskundige en een moeder die religieuze muziek speelde, werd Dan Brown in zijn jeugd omringd door de tegengestelde ideeën van wetenschap en geloof. Deze tegenstellingen vormden al de inspiratiebron voor Het Bernini Mysterie, het eerste boek met professor Robert Langdon in de hoofdrol. In 2020 verscheen er een prentenboek van zijn hand, Het wilde dierenorkest. Brown componeerde zelf de muziek voor de bijbehorende muziekapp. Het ultieme geheim is Dan Browns nieuwste thriller met Robert Langdon in de hoofdrol.

Flaptekst van de horrorroman van Audrey Niffenegger

When Elspeth Noblin dies she leaves her beautiful flat overlooking Highgate Cemetery to her twin nieces, Julia and Valentina Poole, on the condition that their mother is never allowed to cross the threshold. But until the solicitor’s letter falls through the door of their suburban American home, either Julia nor Valentina knew their aunt existed.

The twins hope that in London their own, separate, lives can finally begin but they have no idea that they’ve been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt’s mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them and works in the cemetery itself.

As the twins unravel the secrets of their aunt, who doesn’t seem quite ready to leave her flat, even after death, Niffenegger weaves together a delicious and deadly ghost story about love, loss and identity.

Flaptekst van de dystopische sciencefictionthriller van Thomas R. Weaver

Who would you trust with the future?

The year is 2050. In the teeth of a climate catastrophe, the world is left with a drastic solution: one global leader to steer it through the coming apocalypse.

The final two candidates are ex-US President Lockwood, and Solomon, the world’s first political artificial intelligence.

As whispers of a global conspiracy emerge, investigative journalist Marcus Tully find himself at the centre of it – when Solomon’s creator turns up murdered.

Overnight, one investigation becomes two, and it’s not just the result of the election that’s at stake but the future of the species. Suddenly humanity must make an impossible choice – between salvation, or freedom.

Thomas R. Weaver writes stories about tomorrow to help make sense of today. A tech entrepreneur turned author, he holds a degree in Computer Science but never expected to actually use it in his career. After spending years exploring how technology could transform experiences in the places outside of the home and the office, he founded a tech startup in the restaurant hospitality space, which was later acquired by Just Eat Takeaway. Exiting in 2018–2019 left him with no more excuses not to pursue a long-held dream: writing fiction. Despite vowing he had enough grey hair already and he’d never to run another startup, he continues to build a portfolio of interesting new ideas with his former cofounder, backed by a major Silicon Valley tech accelerator. Outside of spending time with his family, he loves to cook, draw, paint and lose at online bullet chess. He loves a great movie or TV series, and collects more books than time allows to read.

Flaptekst van de vierde Garret Kohl thriller van Taylor Moore

In the fourth pulse-pounding thriller in the series, DEA Special Agent Garrett Kohl must find out what’s truly tainted in the energy industry and uncover a deep-rooted plot in order to protect his new business, beloved ranch, and family. Perfect for fans of C. J. Box and Jack Carr.

On leave from the DEA, Garrett Kohl is ready to settle down and build a stable foundation for his family. But that’s easier said than done. In order to give his girlfriend, Lacey, and adopted son, Asadi, the life they deserve, and get out from under crippling debt, some risks have to be taken. And shocking alliances have to be formed.

First, Garrett partners with an old nemesis to form his new energy venture: Savage Exploration. Then his estranged, aloof sister, Grace, reemerges, keen on brokering a contract to connect Kohl Ranch to a pipeline on the Texas coast. But the company’s earlier success is endangered when an explosion at a nearby natural gas plant injures several workers. Garrett begins to suspect foul play and embarks on a winding investigation, teaming up with his old war buddy, Kai Stoddard, and reaching out to his CIA contacts, uncovering a sinister conspiracy overseas.

From an ex-CIA intelligence officer and consultant for the Department of Defense, this exhilarating thriller follows a man’s turbulent journey to fight for his family and hold on to the land that he calls home, culminating in an explosive final showdown that he never could have expected.

Flaptekst van Jessa Maxwell thriller

Years after her best friend mysteriously disappeared from a remote New England island, a young woman returns in search of answers in this atmospheric and scintillating thriller from Jessa Maxwell.

Orla O’Connor hasn’t been to the isolated New England enclave of Hadley Island since she graduated from high school a decade ago. As a teenager, her best friend Alice disappeared from its shores without a trace—but with plenty of rumors.

Now, Orla returns to her family’s beachfront home to clean it out before her parents sell it. The island and her best friend’s house next door, abandoned after her family left in grief, are stirring up memories she would like to avoid. Then there are the locals, always gossiping and watching Orla’s every move. Worst of all, David, Orla’s childhood crush and son of a wealthy Manhattan family, is back for the summer with his new, impossibly pretty girlfriend, Faith.

Faith suspects that David is going to propose but as soon as she settles into his family’s sprawling Hadley Island estate, she feels out of place. She anticipated a luxurious summer of fun and romance, but David is never around—lured into business conversations with his entrepreneur father from dawn to dusk. With nothing else to do, Faith begins to investigate the island’s dark past, curious about what really happened to Alice all those years ago.

Meanwhile, local Henry hasn’t left his house since the young girl went missing, in an attempt to let the accusations against him die down. Except they never have. For years, Henry has had an endless supply of time to pursue his only hobby, watching the island from his telescope and recording the activities of its inhabitants. But Orla’s return has shaken him and lately he’s been seeing strange things: shadowy figures walking on the beach in the middle of the night and a light on in the upstairs window of the long-abandoned house of the missing girl.

When there’s another disappearance on the island, all three find themselves pulled into an eerie and twisty mystery that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Jessa Maxwell is the nationally bestselling author of The Golden Spoon (vertaald als De gouden lepel), I Need You to Read This, and Dead of Summer. She is also the author and illustrator of five picture books for children. Her comics and cartoons have been published in The New Yorker and The New York Times and her writing has been published in Slate, Marie Claire, and many others.

Flaptekst van de eerste Florida thriller van Joe Pan

The Outsiders meet Sons of Anarchy in this gripping debut about a group of young men dragged into a drug-running operation.

It’s 2009, the height of the Great Recession. Best friends Eddy, Cueball, and Jesse are fresh out of high school and wild at heart, but the economy is in the dumps. With jobs scarce along Florida’s Space Coast, they join a furniture-moving company run by Cueball’s father, a gruff ex-con biker who’s supposedly retired from the fast life. But when a mysterious old boss arrives in town, the payload is switched out, and the young men are coerced into shipping a new designer drug up the East Coast.

What is advertised as a bastion of brotherhood and respect quickly spirals into back-alley deals, bloodshed, and an all-out turf war that will test the bounds of love and friendship. Enticed by larger paychecks, and fueled by burgeoning drug habits, the young friends find themselves trapped between rank opportunists, warring gangsters, meth zombies, crazed bikers, and a blowgun-wielding hitman, all vying for a shot at the big time.

Soaring, ambitious, and deeply humane, Florida Palms is a gritty coming-of-age story with enormous heart and an unflinching vision of the violence and inequities facing forgotten communities. In a relentless race against desperate circumstances, the young friends must fully embrace the crime life or abandon their loyalties and risk ending up face down in the muck of the unforgiving swamps.
