Like Delia Ephron's SIRACUSA (like a Emma Straub & Patricia Highsmith smoothie). #MSWL

Dark side of beautiful people/places/relationships #MSWL

Crime fic with twisty endings always wanted #MSWL

Novels w/dual timelines that converge #MSWL

I love stories with rich settings. Fave US cities=Boston, Baltimore, NYC #MSWL

Looking for female cop thrillers, a la Prime Suspect/Happy Valley (TV) & M.J. Aldridge/Sara Blaedel #MSWL

Women's fic w/family secrets, dynamic betw sisters/friends, parents & teen/adult children. Like Celeste Ng, Anna Quindlen, Anne Tyler #MSWL

Domestic suspense. #MSWL

Mysteries with diverse characters #ownvoices #MSWL

Fic that transports me to another world, like NIGHT CIRCUS, READY PLAYER ONE, MR. PENUMBRA'S 24 HR BOOKSTORE #MSWL

I like fiction w/real people inserted as characters, well-researched (like Caleb Carr, Matthew Pearl). #MSWL

Historical fic: don't want 60s, 70s. Victorian-1930s OK, non-English speaking country a plus #MSWL

I'm picky about historical. I feel like I've seen enough WWII for the rest of my life. But I did <3 Code Name Verity. So no camps. #MSWL

Fiction set in Russia, pre- or post-Communism, not spy fic. Like Madonnas of Leningrad, City of Thieves, Russian Winter #MSWL

WF or mystery with a South Asian locale or characters, like Sacred Games, Island of A Thousand Mirrors, White Tiger, Good Indian Wife #MSWL

I love WF that depicts realistic friendships/sibling relationships, warts and all. #MSWL

I don't have to like a main character but must be compelled. Luckiest Girl Alive, Everybody Rise, Eeny Meeny good examples. #MSWL

Domestic suspense, psych thrillers, police procedurals, amateur sleuth, PIs. Mary Kubica, Sara Blaedel, Fiona Barton=recent faves #mswl

Mystery w/Native-American MC #MSWL

I'm on the hunt for YA mystery/thriller, w/ a fresh hook. Details need to be spot on. #MSWL
