I want a mystery that characters wish they hadn't solved. A mystery that isn't about the mystery, really, at all, but about the people--the kind of ending that feels inevitable, like putting these people in that room at once--well, nothing else could have happened.

In mystery: My tastes here are pretty specific. To go back to my old friend, Taylor Swift, say you have a story that would comp to ā€œVigilante Shitā€ or ā€œno body, no crimeā€ then youā€™re 100% in my wheelhouse. #mswl

It's #mswl day!

I've been at @groveatlantic for nearly 10 months (šŸ˜±) and I've been lucky to acquire some dream projects... but I'm not done!

I'm still looking for crime fiction/thrillers from authors looking to write a book every year(ish).

I missed participating in the @bookendslit #MSWL Day round up due to meetings, but behold my #MSWL anyway... (1/5)

James is seeking upmarket/book club fiction, mystery, suspense and thrillers. Some things he is drawn to in a novel are commercial, high-concept plots, exciting settings, fast pacing, a fresh spin on a familiar trope, grounded speculative elements, rich prose (2/5) #MSWL
