Joseph Finder never misses, and The Oligarch’s Daughter is proof. Wall Street hotshot Paul Brightman thinks he’s found love with a glamorous Russian beauty, only to discover her dad is a full-blown oligarch with more skeletons than a Halloween store. Twisty, sleek, and impossible to put down, this spy thriller will keep you up way past your bedtime.
Every reader has their quirks, but some habits are less “quirky” and more “felony-level crimes against books.” From dog-earing first editions to dropping spoilers like confetti, the literary police are watching. Luckily, I’ve rounded up the worst red flags and the fixes — so you can read without judgment (or at least without greasy fingerprints on your paperbacks).
Sandra Brown had me from page three of Blood Moon — rugged detective John Bowie (pronounced Booie, which sadly rhymes with “phooey”) walks into a Louisiana dive bar and spots TV reporter Beth, and you just know sparks — and danger — are coming.

Add in a surly teenage daughter who makes questionable life choices, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for suspense, romance, and just a dash of melodrama. I’ll never look at a blood moon the same way again.
