Thanks for the #bookmail to start my week @harpercollins.bsky.social and @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social! Can't wait to dive in.
THE HEIGHTS by Ian Rankin is a standalone thriller with a murder that occurs in an luxury high rise development in London. Everyone has secrets and the police have to dig deep, while avoiding upsetting the rich and powerful, to solve it. #ewgc
In the third in the Berit Gardner series Berit is spending the winter on an island off the coast near Stockholm. She's drawn into the mystery of a wealthy woman whose death makes suspects of the family she's left behind. Moody and quietly paced. #ewgc
MONSTER IN THE MIRROR by Janasha Prabhu is a dark mystery thriller about a woman trapped in her hometown where everyone thinks she's a killer and another murder happens. Atmospheric, melancholy and gritty. #ewgc
So happy to have a new Lisa Kleypas as there just isn't that much published in historical romance. Loved QUEEN OF LOMBARD STREET set in Victorian England and featuring a heroine who wants to start her own bank for women. #ewgc
Robert Jackson Bennett's new one, A TRADE IN BLOOD, in the Ana and Din series is another politically complicated fantasy/sf mystery. #ewgc
AMONG THE RUINS is historical mystery set in 1970s Dublin and featuring Nicoletta Sarto, a woman struggling to hold onto her journalistic ambitions after having twins. She's approached to investigate the death of an older woman and finds secrets and troubles galore. #ewgc
Hello. Not rainy here, but still muggy. Spent most of the morning onboarding new staff. Have a new branch opening in Sept., so lots to get up to speed. #ewgc
Gorgeous packaging and cover for Tomi Adeyemi's forthcoming book, The Sirens. Due out in September. Thanks @macmillanlib.bsky.social for the #bookmail!
A box of books is a great way to start the day. Thanks @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social - now I just have to decide where to start. #bookmail
Detective Chelsey Calhoun returns in BEFORE YOU WERE ANNE by Emiko Jean. Here she's investigating the murder of a Japanese immigrant and the disappearance of her teenage daughter. #ewgc
In HEAR THE DEAD by Ann Cardinal Elena Altieri, an aging photographer, goes viral when her photos of a recently deceased punk rocker are rediscovered. Elena left the punk rock scene when her best friend died. Now she's hearing memories or auditory illusions that make her question that death. #ewgc
Nina Simon once again explores family relationships in MY SISTER IS GOING TO KILL ME - this time sisters who are on a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon when murder occurs. Great vacation read. #ewgc
Just recently I was wondering if there was anything new by Lyndsay Faye, and then there it was. RAVEN - an atmospheric, gothic homage to Edgar Allen Poe. Loved it. #ewgc
ALL WE HIDE by Robyn Gigl introduces trans detective Lauren Kelly in a complex, twisty mystery. #ewgc
Not always a short story fan, but truly loved TALES FROM THE TERRITORY by Travis Baldree - yes I love the L&L world, but what sold it for me was how each one deepened our understanding of a beloved character. #ewgc
Not a book post (yet) but if you have Prime and subscribe to Britbox I recommend you run, don't walk, or click fast, to watch The Other Bennet Sister. Love it so much. #ewgc
#bookmail today is from @harpercollins.bsky.social and I couldn't be happier. What shall I read first?
#Bookmail makes for a beautiful start to the day. What shall I read first? Thanks @macmillanlib.bsky.social!
My last mystery/thriller is WHILE WE WERE SILENT by Alex Myers - set at a private boarding school in Connecticut where traditions are dangerous for the girls at the school. #ewgc
Shari Lapena's latest, GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER doesn't ask the reader to guess whodunnit, you know that from the first pages, instead readers will wonder if they can get away with it as everything begins to unravel. A page-turner indeed. #ewgc
Also a thriller, but one with dark, sharp humor, GET LOST by Justin Halpern - funny and dysfunctional and also filled with heart. #ewgc
Don't have as many titles this month as I've been in a bit of a slump, but do have a few. First up is UNDER THE FALLS by Richard Russo - a literary thriller set in a small, rundown town in upstate New York. Wonderfully done. #ewgc
