Really enjoyed this debut by fellow Edgar nominee @ashcliftonwriter.bsky.social. It's a mystery thriller about PI Noland Twice and his search for stolen funds in a world where everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum of shady. Corruption, codes, and well-drawn characters abound!

PRE-ORDER THIS ONE RIGHT NOW! I've read and loved everything by Samantha Downing, but this just might top the list. It's darkly comedic, the timing is pitch perfect, and the last line? Chef’s kiss. Thanks @samanthadowning.bsky.social for the early copy of this absolute gem of a book!
