Steve McManus @stevemcmanus.com · 04/10/2026In LISTEN FOR THE LIE by Amy Tintera, years after a woman’s found with no memory of why she’s covered in her best friend’s blood, she and a podcaster return to the scene of the crime and try to figure out who killed her (if it’s not our heroine). Who can she trust if not herself? #booksky 071
Steve McManus @stevemcmanus.com · 22/09/2026If you’re fond of isolated locations, layers of secrets, dramatic whale rescues, penguins (!), and people going dangerously insane, you’ll have fun visiting WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy. Mysteries, murder, and madness at the ass-end of the world. #booksky 050

Steve McManus @stevemcmanus.com · 11/09/2026LOST LAMBS by Madeline Cash takes an irreverent look at modern family dysfunction and the weirdness of the ultra-rich, which are always fertile depths to plumb. Terrific book that’ll have you rooting for the kids against the adaults. #booksky 060

Steve McManus @stevemcmanus.com · 04/09/2026COOL MACHINE by Colson Whitehead is a love letter to the seedy underbelly of 1980s New York City. The patois is a pleasure, and it almost makes you feel like a native. Much easier read than THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD’s gut punch on every page. Rooting for crooks is always fun. #booksky 030
