Lots of intrigue and fun is expected from Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum — and this New York Times Bestseller does not disappoint.

“I’ve read all of the Stephanie Plum books, and they’re not all equal, but this ranks right up there with the best ones,” wrote one devoted reader. “I was sorry to see it end. The dialogue had me laughing out loud a few times, and that doesn’t happen often for me. I feel like Stephanie is maturing into a strong kick-ass woman. Can’t wait to see her in action in her next adventure.”

With over 100,000 five-star reviews from Amazon readers, you’re probably not going to want to put this bestseller down.

“I LOVED this book and this story,” shared a captivated reader. “It was so empowering, watching Evelyn be so unashamed to own her beauty, her sex appeal, her confidence, and to be the ball-buster she was, so unafraid of telling people what she wants, what she deserves — all because she knows her worth.”

Labyrinthine, seductive and brain-teasing — this one’s got everything we love in a murder mystery. You’ll be left guessing until the last page.

“This book had so many twists and turns i couldn’t figure anything out,” shared a five-star reviewer. “Every time I thought I knew, the next page changed it. I loved every second of it and am only sad to be done. I have read every book by Lucy Foley and am sad there are no more. Hopefully, she is working on a new one! Recommend to any mystery lover who hates formula!”

This clever story follows Nella, a mysterious figure who sells poisons for her clients to use against oppressive men. When one patron makes a fatal mistake, however, the secret apothecary’s future is jeopardized.

$15 at Amazon

The award-winning novel is packed with suspense, thrills, chills, and with two alternating time periods, has something for both fans of historical and contemporary fiction.

“Masterfully storytelling!” shared a shopper. “A perfect book club book because it will stir passionate discussion. Fabulous characters combine parallel timelines of women marginalized and mistreated who find ways to help one another in the present and in the 1790s.”

Follow Dr. Madeleine Maxwell’s adventures after being accepted to Britain’s St Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, where she relives history in the most madcap ways. This one’s just $5!

“Most of us understand the disappointment of a book that promises ‘laugh out loud’ moments then fails to deliver. This book not only delivers but does so in almost a machine gun fashion — over and over again before you have the chance to recover from the previous,” wrote someone who previously was not a fan of historical fiction. “As trite as it sounds, I picked up Book One and couldn’t put it down. I eagerly pushed through the rest of the books and the collection of short stories in less than a week.”

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
