May: The Month of Months

We are thrilled to share the brand new page-turner from Tim Mason―and right on time for Nurses Week, The Nightingale Affair features Florence Nightingale in this twisty new Victorian detective thriller from the author of The Darwin Affair. 

Inspector Charles Field hunts a serial killer with a sinister signature targeting Florence Nightingale’s nurses in Crimea and women in London. The Nightingale Affair plays out against a backdrop of a rapidly changing society. Most of all, it is a pure reading delight, offering shocks, unforgettably vivid scenes, and surprising twists.

"Political intrigue, a backdrop of social upheaval, and a cast of nineteenth-century luminaries make this stylish, cleverly plotted thriller a must-read for fans of historical fiction." ―Dean Jobb, author of The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream

An addictively gripping coming-of-age story about an all-consuming, insidious love affair between a college freshman and a mysterious older woman. With atmospheric, electric prose that captures the anxiety and emotional intensity of young adulthood like never before, The Adult is about sex, yearning, poetry, and learning to free one­self from the expectations of others. For readers of Michelle Hart and Alyssa Songsiridej, Bronwyn Fischer is an immensely talented new writer to watch.

“The Adult smolders with barely contained longing. Fischer’s debut novel is like a visit from your younger self—even as you worry about Natalie, you won’t be able to look away.” ―Alyssa Songsiridej, author of Little Rabbit, shortlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize
