The year 1920 comes in with a roar in this rousing and suspenseful novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown. Prohibition is the new law of the land, but murder, mayhem, lust, and greed are already institutions in the Moonshine Capitol of Texas. It’s there that young widow Laurel Plummer and Deputy Thatcher Hutton will find themselves on the opposite sides of a moonshine war, where the blood flows as freely as the whiskey. It does not take much effort to come up with an educated guess about the reasons for this newfound popularity – and why it has occurred, more or less, at the same time as the rise of trends as dissimilar as vampire fiction, Game of Thrones–esque fantasy, and cottagecore: humans have always needed escapism, but the past few decades have really increased this need. And what better way to escape than to run away to a different time period entirely? Three-quarters of the planet’s population at the very least, must have wanted to do just that since the beginning of 2020. If you’re a fellow historical suspense enthusiast, keep reading for some wonderful books. And if you’re not? Well, what a better time than the present to become one? In the market for more historical fiction recs? We’ve got you.
