Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Sculptor

Sleepless Nights... I loved this book and read it in 4 nights. It kept me scared like “The Impaler”, wondering if I would have nightmares for months. You are immediately introduced into the details of the murder scene and quickly find out how perverse the “Sculptor” is. Tommy Campbell, a Boston Rebels wide receiver, was murdered and his preserved body was painted and posed like one of Michelangelo’s statues. I enjoyed the characters of Sam Markham, the FBI behavioral analyst and Dr. Catherine Hildebrant, author of the book “Slumbering in the Stone” and leading authority of Michelangelo’s work. The twists and turns made it impossible to put down. Gregory Funaro delivers a gripping reading. Another plus point was the information about Michelangelo and the statues he created out of marble blocks from the quarries of Carrara. Can Dr. Hildy’s knowledge help Sam to understand the killer’s motivations and predict his movements? If you are a fan of chilling horror novels, do not miss this one!

Impaler

T-E-R-R-I-F-Y-I-N-G “The Impaler” by Gregory Funaro gets scary on page 1 and I didn't want to put it down once I started reading it. What makes this novel so special is the sense of doom that you can feel as you read the words “How could you think I’d let you get away?” Gregory Funaro installed fear into me as a reader. I felt the thumping of my heart as I continued reading the horror of impalement. The storyline did flow very well. I liked the back story about Vlad and what motivated Edmund to kill, what transformed him into being weird, creepy, evil and unremorseful.
