The Paris Apartment

by Lucy Foley

From the New York Times 

bestselling author of The Guest List comes a new locked room mystery, set in a Paris apartment building in which every resident has something to hide: The socialite; the nice guy; the alcoholic; the girl on the verge; and the concierge. Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they’re not telling.

The streets of Paris have never looked darker, more opulent, or more sinister than in Lucy Foley's gloriously twisty new novel." —Ruth Ware

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea

by Axie Oh

Axie Oh's The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is a feminist retelling of the classic Korean folktale "The Tale of Shim Cheong." Deadly storms have ravaged Mina’s homeland for generations. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curses them with death and despair. In an attempt to appease him, each year a beautiful maiden is thrown into the sea to serve as the Sea God’s bride. Many believe that Shim Cheong, the most beautiful girl in the village—and the beloved of Mina’s older brother Joon—may be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is to be sacrificed, Joon follows Cheong out to sea, even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother, Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong’s stead.
