Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks.
Robyn Gigl, All We Hide
(Soho Crime)
“The carefully drawn characters and the skill with which Gigl balances the personal and professional in this complex police procedural will appeal to fans of Tana French.”
–Library Journal
Chris Bohjalian, The Amateur
(Doubleday)
“Styled as an unflinchingly candid memoir written by Mira decades after the fact, Bohjalian’s latest dazzles as it devastates. Plentiful foreshadowing ramps up tension and keeps the momentum high while Mira turns over weighty subjects—sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress, familial dysfunction—with grace and wry humor. It’s a masterpiece.”
–Publishers Weekly
George Pelecanos, The Blue Flame
(Cardinal)
“Pelecanos provides an unsettling view of Strange’s dealings with D.C. Metro Homicide as he digs beneath the smug skin of the nation’s capital…Eloquent testimony to the hero’s sense that “there was no such thing as closure.”-
–Kirkus Reviews
Mark Edwards, One of the Family
(Atria)
“This banger of a story will not only keep you on your toes but perhaps have you side-eying your relatives, too. Highly recommended!”
–Hannah Mary McKinnon
Tiphanie Yanique, Richard Georges (eds.), Virgin Islands Noir
(Akashic)
“[T]hrough a decade of workshops, mentoring, and literary festivals, Yanique and Georges have created a distinctive brand of noir that thrives in the scenic beauty of the Virgin Islands. A varied and colorful collection that may announce the birth of sunshine noir.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Elizabeth Little, Good Girls Die Bored
(Bantam)
“Perfect Elizabeth Little—fun but deep, slick but meaty, suspenseful and satisfying . . . totally recommended.”
–Lee Child
Matt Baker, A Taste for Murder
(Crooked Lane)
“Steadily absorbing . . . Death by selfie or murder most foul? It’s worth the trip to find out.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Margrét Ann Thors, Freyja
(Spiegel & Grau)
“The threatened mother’s raw emotion and the book’s atmospheric pull are difficult to resist. A nifty generational thriller in which the past eerily overlaps the present.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Lisa Gardner, You’ll Be Sorry
(Grand Central)
“Devastating and disturbing, YOU’LL BE SORRY explores the decades old mystery of a missing family. The stakes are high in this twisty, tortured search for the truth. I could not put this one down!”
–Ashley Elston
Ellery Lloyd, Time to Burn
(Harper)
“This is a knockout thriller with an intriguing speculative twist. Fans of Stephen King’s 11/22/63 (2011) will be turning the pages all night.”
