10 New Books Coming Out This Week

Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks.

Lawrence Osborne, Children of Wolves
(S&S/Summit Books)

“No one is better than Osborne at conjuring tales about conflicted Americans seeking meaning and escape in striking locales….Bridging classic and contemporary noir with hints of Graham Greene’s and Robert Stone’s ugly Americans, Osborne creates an unforgiving terrain all his own….A quietly gripping novel that begs for a sequel.”
–Kirkus Reviews

Earl Swift, Up on Cove Mountain: Adventure, Tragedy, and a Quest for Meaning on the Appalachian Trail
(Mariner Books)

“A deeply personal meditation on death, aging and nature.”
–New York Times

Tess Gerritsen, The Shadow Friends
(Thomas & Mercer)

“I love these spies who come out of retirement when an assassin strikes in their small town of Purity, Maine. Could spies be any more fun? Travel, tension, and twists–great entertainment!”
–Shari Lapena

CN Vair, The Devil Knows Her Name
(Berkley)

“Vair’s debut is as visceral as it is hauntingly beautiful, capturing the horrors and wonders of nature, folkloric witchcraft, and desire with ease. Tess is an incredibly self-aware, complicated main character…the powers of the old gods mix with the terrors of the new in this impressive debut that will soak readers to the bone.”
–Booklist

Linwood Barclay, Not a Word
(William Morrow)

“Effectively told using several points of view and flashbacks, this fast-paced page-turner will keep readers guessing until the end.”

(Blackstone)

“Gilbert’s coming-of-age tale with deeply explored themes of friendship takes a deadly twist.”
–Booklist

Lauren Lee Smith, The Night Pool
(Blackstone)

“Exceptionally well-written, original, and yes, terrifying…The writing is razor-sharp, and the author doesn’t shy away from the sights, smells, and gore surrounding the harsh personal environment that all three women struggle to overcome…Smith crafts not only a uniquely harrowing story but also a poignant one that will leave the reader satisfied.”
–Women in Horror

Jennifer Hillier, Heart of Glass
(Minotaur)

“Hillier delivers another knockout thriller with compulsively readable prose and sly, subtle twists. A must-read.”
–Booklist

Sarah Pinborough, They Say a Girl Died Here
(Flatiron: Pine and Cedar)

“An addictive tale of Midwestern macabre. . . Pinborough’s fierce yet flawed characters are easy to root for, and she doles out the story’s shocking secrets at a tantalizing pace. Thriller fans who like it dark will devour this.”
—Publishers Weekly

JJ Unthank, Any More Questions for the Corpse?
(Crooked Lane)

“A bloody tale of good versus evil.”
—Kirkus Reviews
