10 New Books Coming Out This Week

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

Jonathan Santlofer, Ten Perfect Guests
(Sourcebooks)

“Smart and amazing. A hallmark of Santlofer’s writing is that the reader learns so much. Not to mention the drawings! All of which makes the novel something special.”
–Joyce Carol Oates

Hank Phillippi Ryan, Mother Daughter Sister Stranger
(Minotaur)

“Full of gripping moments…Family secrets, enduring bonds among sisters, and a whodunit involving a possible serial killer all feature in this terrific effort from Ryan.”
–Library Journal

Mason Coile, Driven
(Putnam)

“This heart stopping claustrophobic novel follows a grieving father who is trapped in a self driving car hurdling towards where, he doesn’t know–all he knows is he needs to get out, and fast.”
–Forbes

Jonathan Ames, A Past Without Pictures
(Mysterious Press)

“Spare but potent . . . Ames’s disaffected style infuses the proceedings with a deep sadness that elevates it from bog-standard crime fiction to something headier and more emotionally wounding. This will enchant both the author’s existing fans and thriller readers looking for something off the beaten path.”
–Publishers Weekly

Laurie R. King, Those Who Are Gone
(Bantam)

“King skillfully misdirects the reader as the action builds to a surprising resolution. [Laing] is a welcome addition to the ranks of contemporary female detectives.”
–Publishers Weekly

Gigi Waldorf, Murder on the Upper East Side
(Atria/Emily Bestler Books)

“This debut from Waldorf (aka author Kit Frick) is a soapy, locked-room mystery that uses flashbacks to show what led to Madison’s murder, with plenty of red herrings to throw readers off […] Rich kids, high-end fashion, and delicious gossip make this a perfect escapist read.”
–Booklist

Tanya Grant, A Beautiful Lie
(Berkley)

“A Beautiful Lie is a sexy and shocking psychological suspense, readers will love this delicious, slow burn descent into the heart of obsession that makes it impossible to look away until the jaw-dropping last moment.”
–Vanessa Lillie

Ally Zetterberg, The Dating Game
(Berkley)

“Tilda’s skewed narration combines the charm of Nita Prose’s Molly the Maid with a defiant feminist streak all her own. The result is a poignant, darkly amusing look at the perils of modern dating.”
–Publishers Weekly

Kasey Lansdale, First Chance
(Blackstone)

“Lansdale writes with an evocative sense of place and admirably nuanced view of justice.”
–Publishers Weekly

Carly Hillman, The Refuge
(Crooked Lane Books)

“An impressive dual-timeline thriller.”
–Publishers Weekly

Ashley Woo, Wildwood
(Harper Perennial)

“Woo does a remarkably effective job building an escalating sense of dread. . . . Fans of the slow-burning domestic horror of Rachel Harrison and Paul Tremblay will want to seek this out.”
–Publishers Weekly
