Thomas Enger’s Henning Juul series has quickly become a staple of my crime fiction library. These books effortlessly blend a driving plot with vivid, three-dimensional characters, all built upon the foundation of brooding, atmospheric Scandinavian crime. The Henning Juul books are excellent recommendations for readers looking for an entry point into Scandinavian crime; this is a series that is both exemplary of the Nordic Noir genre, and that stands apart for its accessibility and bingeworthy pacing.

Book Review: SINCE WE FELL by Dennis Lehane
I have a bookish confession to make: SINCE WE FELL is the first Dennis Lehane book I’ve ever read. It’s safe to say I’m now a convert, and I’ll be making an intentional effort to get caught up on his backlist after devouring this masterful suspense novel. SINCE WE FELL is part sophisticated domestic drama, part unpredictable conspiracy, and part character study. Precisely plotted and expertly paced, SINCE WE FELL is a wholly impressive and immersive suspense read.
