There can be no doubt that Lisa Jewell is one of the brightest gems of the current thriller market. Her latest release, Watching You, continues her tradition of writing chilling, engrossing reads that will keep you up late into the night. Joey Mullen has just arrived back in England with a new husband in tow….
Liane Moriarty’s work first came to my attention back in 2015 when I picked up a copy of her novel Big Little Lies. I was sucked into the story right away, and ended up reading everything she had written within the space of about a week. Since then, I’ve been on the lookout for new…
If you, like me, enjoy novels that center around the extremely complex nature of female friendship, you won’t want to miss Give Me Your Hand, the latest standalone thriller by author Megan Abbott. It’s an engrossing mix of spine-tingling suspense and the kind of relationship drama so many of us have experienced over the course…
Most people wouldn’t call me an optimist, but I suppose you might think of me that way if you pay attention to some of my book choices.

Elisabeth Norebäck’s Tell Me You’re Mine was originally published in Sweden in 2017, and I’m so pleased it’s now available to English-speaking readers. It’s one of those books I hated to put down once I started reading, so be sure to have a good chunk of time to devote to it whenever you pick it…
I’m almost always up for a new thriller that centers around revenge.

So, when I read the synopsis for Catharine Riggs’ What She Gave Away, I knew I had to…
Three Little Lies is the second offering from author Laura Marshall. It’s one of those books with a synopsis that sounds like a thousand others you’ve read recently, and yet, once you get fully immersed in the lives of the characters, you realize it’s far more complex than you first thought.
