10 New Books Coming Out This Week

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

Brendan Flaherty, Middleman
(Atlantic Crime)

“A delightfully strange and satisfying story of a man whose life has fallen to pieces and the mysteries that lie at the heart of this devastation. Dwelling on the edge of madcap insanity, Middleman never loses its narrative steam.”
–Booklist

Katie Collom, The Terrarium
(Bantam)

“For lovers of cats, podcasts, and the insides of other people’s homes, The Terrarium is a relatable thriller about the gig economy gone wrong. I was so excited to see what (or who) was kept inside those glass cages that I finished it in a single day. Twisty, fun, and a little scary.”
–Tasha Coryel

Stephanie Wrobel, Revenge Plot
(Berkley)

“Wrobel (The Hitchcock Hotel) brings her literary A-game to this double-layered puzzler that deftly mines the craft of fiction writing and the business of publishing for spectacularly entertaining results.”
–Library Journal

Fiona McPhillips, The Party in the Woods
(Flatiron: Pine and Cedar)

“Twenty-some years after a transcendent Irish rave ends in murder, the truth will finally come out. . . A unique setting and passionate descriptions of music add interest to a fairly closed-door mystery.”
–Kirkus

Jesse Sherwood, We Were Never Meant to Survive This
(Blackstone)

“David Hume, Fran Lebowitz, Homer Simpson, add Jesse Sherwood to the list of skeptics who know the end of the world is indeed always nigh … and will be for eons. Smart, cliché-free, and scarily outdoorsy, this novel is a must-read for anyone finding themselves looking for answers–and in this case, a powerful book.”
–Paul Beatty

Virginia Trench, Mr. Disappear
(Crown)

“A gripping tale of cheat, prey, love.”
–People

Celeste Connally, Murder of a Merry Gentleman
(Minotaur)

“Fast, funny, and scrupulously fair, this is an enchanting holiday whodunit.”
–Publishers Weekly

Tara Laskowski, The Cold Read
(Park Row)

“Laskowski’s homage to classic horror tropes, slasher films, and the devoted fandom they cultivate is a sharply written page-turner that readers will be hard-pressed to put down. Even if they guess the who, the hows and whys keep The Cold Read boiling all the way to the end. An absorbing and enjoyable ride.”

J.A. Jance, The Taken Ones
(William Morrow)

“Nearly four decades into her career, Jance is still finding new ways to thrill her readers.”
–Publishers Weekly

Caitlin Starling, Milkteeth
(St Martin’s)

“Starling’s take on the toll of motherhood, and breastfeeding specifically, on the body and psyche is delightfully ruthless and unsparing. Fans will not be disappointed.”
–Publishers Weekly
