Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks.
*
Adrian McKinty, The Island
(Little, Brown)
“Expertly choreographed and breathlessly exciting . . . both the peril and the family are like no other. The Chain was McKinty’s breakthrough novel and this one could be every bit as big.”
–Booklist, starred review
Robin Peguero, With Prejudice
(Grand Central)
“With Prejudice is a brilliant debut, full stop. Written with warmth, humanity, and raw emotion, this is a both a gripping thriller and an insightful look at the complexities of American crime and punishment. Robin Peguero has written a modern-day 12 Angry Men.”
–Harlan Coben
Richard White, Who Killed Jane Stanford?
(Norton)
“A lively detective story…involving an unsolved murder and the tumultuous early years of a prestigious university. An entertaining tale of money, power, and malfeasance.”
–Kirkus Reviews
B.A. Shapiro, Metropolis
(Algonquin)
“An ingeniously plotted hybrid social/suspense novel . . . [Shapiro] takes her time loading the bases, and in the last inning, she hits it out of the park.”
–Shelf Awareness
May Cobb, My Summer Darlings
(Berkley)
“A potent cocktail of desire and deceit. Spicy enough to make you sweat–until the suspense chills you to your core.”
–Riley Sager
Sarai Walker, The Cherry Robbers
(Harper)
“Walker’s take on the classic Gothic tale fairly shimmers, titillating with a heady concoction of terror and desire, frothy with fever-pitched emotions, and dark with smothering melancholy and macabre spectres.”
–Booklist, starred review
Kerry Greenwood, The Lady With the Gun Asks the Questions
(Poisoned Pen Press)
“With Phryne Fisher, the indefatigable Greenwood has invented the character-you-fall-in-love-with genre.”
–The Australian
Linwood Barclay, Take Your Breath Away
(William Morrow)
“Perhaps only John Grisham is his equal in creating show-stealing supporting characters.”
–Sunday Times (London)
Brian Klingborg, Wild Prey
(Minotaur)
“Heart-stopping action, an in-depth characterization of a very persistent man, and wonderfully realized settings…a stunner!”
–Booklist, starred review
Susan Furlong, What They Don’t Know
(Seventh Street Books)
“Furlong’s domestic thriller will keep readers off balance, mirroring Mona’s psychological state. An engrossing and delightfully creepy read.”
–Library Journal
