The Split: A Novel by Kit Frick

Historical fiction fans, this one looks dark, rich and very hard to put down. A New York Times Editors' Choice novel from the author of The Manningtree Witches, set during the French Revolution and inspired by a peasant boy turned showman consumed by his appetite. Shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize and widely praised by reviewers for its prose. Sold by BookXcess, so expect a brand-new copy — though remainder stock from this store sometimes carries a small mark on the page edges. Check the listing to confirm whether it is the hardcover or paperback edition before ordering.

This looks like a good pick for fans of sharp social satire and family drama. Palm Beach is a novel about a struggling New York couple who move into a wealthy donor's household. The BookXcess listing shows a current price well below the usual retail price, making it a strong offer for a new copy. Check the edition, cover, and stock status before ordering, and factor in shipping if it is not free.

Didn't expect a dating-app thriller to be this fun—grabbing a copy for the weekend. This BookXcess listing is for Swiped: A Novel, a comedic thriller about a woman trying to unmask a killer before her best friend's wedding. The promo price is far below the normal retail price, so it's a solid pickup for fans of light, fast-paced suspense. Check stock and delivery fees at checkout, and inspect the copy on arrival as BookXcess stock can include remaindered editions.

True crime fans, this one traces how the 19th century tried to decode a serial killer's mind. All That Is Wicked by Kate Winkler Dawson is a non-fiction account of Edward Rulloff, a 19th-century murderer whose case pushed early investigators toward criminal psychology. The BookXcess listing carries a big markdown off the publisher's list price, which is normal for their remainder stock. Check the format and edition shown on the page before ordering, and remember shipping costs depend on your order size.
