Winter鈥檚 Orbit is a lively mix of science fiction, murder mystery, political thriller, and romance with some fantastic world-building and humor to tie it all together. For fans of The Captive Prince and The Murderbot Diaries.
A Study in Scarlet Women
We all know Sherlock Holmes: enigmatic detective, solving the crimes of 19th century England. But what if Sherlock was actually a woman operating as a man in order to use her clever mind in a sexist society? Thomas’s clever re-do of a well known character does not disappoint.
Convenience Store Woman
A funny and thought-provoking look at how much society demands conformity and the strain and stress those demands put on those who cannot. Short and easily readable with a breezy tone, it packs a deceptive punch.
Collective
A stunning and heart-wrenching documentary about how the aftermath of a tragic fire led to the exposure of corruption in the Romanian health care system. Following the reporters who wouldn’t drop the story and a health minister trying to fix it, it’s gripping and timely.
Shadows of Swanford Abbey
Taking place in Swanford Abbey, a luxury hotel that is rumored to be haunted, Rebecca is a guest when she becomes a suspect of a murder. What happens next is if you combine Agatha Christie with Jane Austen and a dash of the Brontes. Perfect for historical mystery fans!
Jane in Love
This is a wonderful book for Jane Austen lovers and even Jane Austen likers. This rom-com will make you laugh and cry while also exploring how time travel into the future can really mess things up. I highly recommend this delightful read!
The Luminous Dead
Psychological SF thriller: a cave diver hired to explore a system of caverns and tunnels for a mining company begins to suspect that her employer has a hidden agenda. There may be ghosts or worse underground with her. Or she may be losing her grip on reality.
The Only Good Indians
This is a horror book with real gore. This is a book about revenge. This is a book about life on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana and how that life stays with its residents through time and distance. This is even a book about basketball. This is a book you should read.
The Dead Mountaineer’s Inn
A mystery book for people who don’t like mysteries, like Poirot meets Arthur Dent. When a murder occurs at a remote mountain inn, a disinterested and unqualified bureaucrat on vacation must solve the crime. Absurd and poignant with a touch of Twin Peaks and sci-fi.
A Thousand Ships
Calliope, the goddess of epic poetry, inspires the poet to tell the story of the women of Troy. He may not like it but it must be told. If you loved Circe by Miller or The Silence of the Girls by Barker, then this book is for you. It is full of strong female voices.
