Two books you should absolutely add to your TBR is The Neon Revelation by @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social (out in one week!) and In This City, Where It Rains by @lyndseycroal.bsky.social. These are authors you cannot and should not miss out on.

A Blueprint for Murder (1953)
A Hitchcockian noir about a concerned uncle who believes but cannot prove his recently-widowed sister-in-law intends to murder his niece for her inheritance. Crackling good thriller at 73 minutes.

Tension (1949)
What crime stories and noir offered was a chance to inhabit the mind of antiheroes and villains, often watching the transition from one to the other, as here where a mousy, put-upon pharmacist snaps and plots his wife's murder.

To the Ends of the Earth (1948)
I love a well-documented procedural like this one, which follows a US narcotics agent in pursuit of a shipment of opium who uncovers the burgeoning worldwide post-WW2 network of drug trafficking.

Mildred Pierce (1945)
Not a fan of melodrama per se, but I couldn't get enough of this one about the long-term toxic relationship between a mother and a daughter, even with the noir stylings more or less tacked onto this literary adaptation. Nonetheless, those stylings hooked me in the story.

Phantom Lady (1944)
One cinematic trick I'll always be a sucker for is when a movie flips its script and becomes a different movie in its second or third act, as happens here in this suitably entertaining mystery.
