Anticipation continues to build for De’Shawn Charles Winslow’s DECENT PEOPLE, which was included on
The Millions’ “Most Anticipated: The Great 2023A Book Preview,” alongside generous praise: "[An] expertly-plotted and character-driven follow-up to [IN WEST MILLS]…A haunting, page-turning mystery, DECENT PEOPLE makes a must-read on anyone’s literary list." The book was featured on CrimeReads’ “10 Crime Novels You Should Read This January,” BookBub's “21 of This Winter’s Most Anticipated Mysteries and Thrillers," AARP’s “41 of Winter’s Best New Books,” Lambda Literary's “January’s Most Anticipated LGBTQIA+ Literature,” and Book Riot's “The Best Mystery Books: 2023 Upcoming Titles.” Amazon Book Review also featured DECENT PEOPLE on its round-up of their editors’ best-of picks for January. Editor Vannessa Cronin raves: “I absolutely tore through DECENT PEOPLE, [Winslow’s] second novel set in the fictional Southern town of West Mills…The novel is a straight up whodunit, but Winslow cleverly has the police recede into the background as the questions Jo asks around town set off gossip, finger-pointing, speculation, and rumor. And it’s through those conversations that the townspeople reveal their painful prejudices, shameful secrets, and dark histories in this smart, canny, and page-turning historical Southern mystery.” Bloomsbury will publish the novel on January 17, 2023.
