episode number 251 and a half and today I'm going to talk about a couple

backlist titles that I'm really excited to share with you.

I've been wanting to share these books for quite a while and the time has come and I'm nothing short of thrilled.

Before I get to my backlist book picks, let's hear from today's sponsor.

Today's episode is brought to you by Amazon Publishing.

Now if you want something like quick, short, concise, but you want something a little thrilling,

little murder mystery. This is for you. It's by best-selling Rebus author Ian Rankin.

It takes place at London's most exclusive address, a haven for the rich, and every

resident is a suspect.

So when the night concierge at the rise is murdered, the elite residents quickly find their gilded lifestyles under

unwelcome police scrutiny. Obstructed continually by locked doors, governments both foreign and

domestic and an apparent absence of motive, can the investigating

officer solve this mystery and apprehend the murderer before they slip away forever?

Read and listen to this short thriller free with Prime. You can learn more at Amazon.com slash the

rise and it's just interesting because the residents are untouchable but we know

one of them is a killer. So read the rise by Ian Rankin and

thanks again to Amazon publishing for sponsoring this episode. Today's episode is brought to you by Gallery Books. I'm super excited to talk about this next one.

It is by an author who has been doing the darn thing for Black American fiction, horror fiction,

for a while, Miss Tannanarive too.
