|author= A L Gaylin
|title= What Remains of Me
|rating= 4.5
|genre= Crime
|summary= On the hottest night of the year, June 28, 1980 teenager Kelly Lund walked into a wrap party and shot the director, John McFadden dead. Two to the chest, one to the head, dead and centre. She offered no defence, though her attorneys played up her drug use and the heat but she still got 25-to-life. A journalist saw something in her nervous smile on the court steps, part of her defence mechanism others might have argued, called it the Mona Lisa Death Smile and set about building a demon.

|author=Angela Marsons
|summary=In the beginning it was simple. C J Kavanaugh, formerly of the Drugs Enforcement Agency but now making a living as Private Investigator was employed to prove that a man was having an adulterous affair. Antonio Fahrletti had confounded half a dozen PIs who'd been unable to prove that he was being unfaithful to his wife, but CJ was determined to be the one who got the proof. Luck was on his side, but not, it would seem, on Fahrletti's. In the meantime Clinton Windell ''knew'' that luck was on his side: he'd brought home twenty million dollars of uncut gems. The board hadn't believed that he could do it and a large part of his pleasure was that he was proving them wrong.

|author= Jan-Philipp Sendker
|title= Dragon Games
|rating= 4
|genre= Crime
|summary= The putative cover of my advance copy of ''Dragon Games'' ties it to the international bestseller ''The Art of Hearing Heartbeats'' – Sendker's first offering in English translation. I'm hoping that the final edition that hits the market will have the confidence to reference ''Whispering Shadows'' to which this is the direct sequel. My hope is because the step between the first two Burmese books and the modern China mystery ones is a significant one. Many readers will love both, but I think the less lyrical, more prosaic, dare I say more political approach of the Chinese stories has a wider readership. It is a readership Sendker deserves.
