"The Midnight Club" (September 2024) is Margot's adult novel, besides her four young adult thrillers. The Killer in Me, her initial YA novel, was chosen as an Indies Introduce pick and made it to the finals of the Vermont Book Award. It received a starred review from Publishers Weekly as well. Her second book, The Glare (Little, Brown, 2020), was highly praised by Kirkus Reviews and Booklist. We Made It All Up (Little, Brown, July 2022), her third book, was selected by the Junior Library Guild and made it to the finals of the Vermont Book Award. Her fourth book, Only She Came Back, was selected by the Junior Library Guild and acclaimed by the School Library Journal for its gripping and timely plot.

She lives in Vermont and spends too much time reviewing vintage YA books and making skits about her weird childhood on TikTok. She also occasionally tweets and chronicles her reading on Instagram. Margot loves hearing from readers!

Former frontman of PAW, a 1990s Lawrence band, Hennessy reads poems from Airport Motel, his dissertation. According to Hennessy, it "focused geographically on the Airport Motel, just outside of Lawrence, Kan., and ideologically, sort of, in the passage of the Aeneid, where Troy is burning and the families are leaving."

This week on Crime Wave: David Ellis told me his stories always start with a character—and, boy, has he given us one for the ages! In THE BEST LIES, Leo Balanoff is an attorney who seeks justice at all costs. He’s also a diagnosed pathological liar, so when a ruthless drug dealer is found dead and Leo’s fingerprints show up on the murder weapon, no one believes a word he says. But the FBI realizes Leo’s cooperation might give them a way to take down the dealer’s brutal syndicate.
They give Leo the choice of risking his life going undercover for the feds or heading straight to prison for murder.

Crime Wave - David Ellis

WHERE THE DEAD SLEEP is a great example of what I call Great Lakes Noir.  Bern Packard returns to his childhood home and accepts a position in the local sheriff's office, only to be elevated to Acting Sheriff and then to eventually run for the permanent job once it's available.  Along the way there are murders and mayhem to pursue.  Josh handles all of the with masterful writing.
