Noir: How dark is too dark for you?
Prolific author Lisa de Nikolits has been called a fresh voice in the neo-noir ethos. Her award-winning standalone novels include No Fury Like That, The Nearly Girl, Between The Cracks She Fell, The Witchdoctor’s Bones, among others. In addition, she has published short stories in several mystery anthologies, including The Whole She-Bang, Thirteen O'Clock, Thirteen Claws, and Stories from our Black Book.
In her most recent book, Rotten Peaches, (4.4 on goodreads) de Nikolits has masterfully written two protagonists that are both thoroughly unsympathetic and utterly compelling. It’s impossible to look away as these two women do very bad things in the pursuit of love, happiness and meaning. And we do mean "very bad"—which makes this book a wild, weird ride, but one that’s very worth taking.
