I've updated my #MSWL for 2026!

I'm still very focused on Crime, Mystery, Suspense, and Thrillers, but I'd also love to find upmarket/BookClub, Literary fiction, and True-crime!

"I'm interested in thrillers that explore the fallout of a crime. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."

True Crime that reads like a thriller/mystery novel, yes please! #MSWL

I love the crime and mystery, but my heart is in need of a gorgeous literary novel! Send me those queries! #MSWL

"Looking for psychological crime thrillers like Ruth Ware." curtisrussell.bsky.social #MSWL

Olive Kitteridge, but each story is told from the pov of a member of an unsolved mystery or a crime family like the Godfather! #MSWL

I'm totally enamored by The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! If someone did this, but made it crime, made it all about gritty, underworld secrets, I'd love to rep it! What Reid does so well is evoking scene! We never tarry too far from being on the stage of the story! #MSWL

I just read the first 12 pages of Evelyn Hugo and I’m pretty hooked! I could see this hook/format/voice working really well for a crime/mystery novel! #MSWL #literaryagent #amreading

Give me The Pitt but make it a thriller/mystery/crime novel! Not so into the medical, but really into the quick, but deep character development! I'm still thinking about these characters!
