Bill Clegg returns with a deeply moving, emotionally resonant second novel about the complicated bonds and breaking points of friendship, the corrosive forces of secrets, the heartbeat of longing, and the redemption found in forgiveness. Bonus: Roehrig has a slew of other fun books to add to your shelf when you’re done with this one. And not only is this the start to a great series, that can also read as standalones, but de León has a social thriller release in December you’ll want to get as soon as it’s out: A Spy in the Struggle. Bonus: If you’re looking for a completed series that you can marathon, check out Quartey’s previous mystery series, Wife of the Gods.
