Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks.
Danielle Girard, Pinky Swear
(Atria/Emily Bestler Books)
A fast-paced thriller with a unique focus on motherhood and pregnancy.
–Library Journal
Ryan Steck, Ted Bell’s Monarch
(Berkley)
Monarch is that rarity in thrillers: first-class writing, wit, and suspense. This is one of the best Alex Hawke thrillers, and I’ve read all of them.
–James Patterson
CJ Box, The Crossroads
(GP Putnam’s)
“C.J. Box doesn’t just raise the bar with The Crossroads—he vaults over it. This is one of the most emotionally charged, gut-punching entries in the entire Joe Pickett series
–The Real Book Spy
Ian McGuire, White River Crossing
(Crown)
“A staggering portrait . . . brought to vivid life by the author’s keen talent for storytelling and willingness to depict the depths of human cruelty
–Publishers Weekly
Kate Alice Marshall, The Girls Before
(Flatiron:Pine and & Cedar)
“A superb mystery. . . Marshall takes a familiar premise and pushes it into exciting, experimental directions. . . Readers will be thinking about this long after they turn the last page.”
–Publishers Weekly
Lindy Ryan, Dollface
(Minotaur)
“Incorporating just the right amount of Southern sass, this gruesomely descriptive yet heartrendingly poignant tale will leave horror fans hungry for the next installment.”
–Booklist
Isabel Booth, Then He Was Gone
(Crooked Lane)
“Isabel Booth has crafted a gripping story of a family with secrets pushed to the edge. Then He Was Gone is a heart-wrenching thriller to the very last page.”
–Rick Mofina
Jennifer Murphy, The Ghost Women
(Dutton)
“This fast-paced novel set in the South Carolina Lowcountry combines magic, mysticism, and mystery into an engrossing and entertaining story that is difficult to put down. Recommended for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Alex Michaelides.”
–Library Journal
Rebecca Philipson, How to Get Away with Murder
(Minotaur)
“Philipson manages to produce a startling series of twists and turns in the case while keeping her wildly improbable premise fresh and, it’s to be hoped, wholly original. Caution: Even more than most crime novels, this one really does provide helpful ideas about how to get away with murder.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Jenn McKinlay, Booking for Trouble
(Berkley)
“An amusing look at the excesses of the rich and infamous, for whom nothing is enough and murder is a lifestyle perk.”
–Kirkus Reviews
