Mystery

Fantastic thriller!

  TrustTrust Your Eyes - Book Cover Image Your Eyes is the latest book from Canadian author Linwood Barclay. In tiny letters on the front cover it also says 'A Thriller.' This really should read  A Thriller. Barclay is always good for a wild ride of a read, but this time he's outdone himself!

Thomas Kilbride loves maps. When a new computer program called Whirl360 is released he is in heaven. He can continue his 'work' - memorizing the streets of all the major cities in the world.

Dennis Lehane's first selection for his new imprint

  I have a mental list of authors that I faithfully follow and I pick up everything they write. I know what I like and I have a good idea of what I'll be reading. But on the other side of that coin - picking up a book by an unfamiliar author is an adventure.

The Cutting Season is Attica Locke's second book. I missed her debut novel - Black Water Rising - it won numerous prize nominations and lots of praise. But, after reading The Cutting Season, I can see why. Attica Locke is good -really good.

One of my favourite protagonists

 Oh, it has been waaaay too long since the last book by Inger Ash Wolfe in this absolutely wonderful Canadian series! My copy of A Door in the River arrived - I set it aside and picked the day I would read it. Yes, the one day, because I absolutely knew I wouldn't be able to put it down. (And I was right!)

A Door in the River again returns us to Port Dundas, Ontario and Inspector Hazel Micallef. Hazel is a wonderfully different protagonist - one I cannot get enough of.

Another edge of your seat read!

 Well, last week I gave you a title I thought you should add to your must read suspense list this summer. I'm sorry, but you'll have to add Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes to the list as well - it's a remarkable debut novel and a  fantastic edge of your seat read!

The book's prologue opened with a court transcript that piqued my interest. Mr. Brightman is being questioned about his relationship with a Miss Bailey.

This is THE thriller to read this summer!

We've all read the stories in newspapers - a woman goes missing and the husband is the prime suspect. And he loudly proclaims his innocence....even as the evidence mounts....

Gillian Flynn put her own spin on this idea in her latest book - Gone Girl.

It is the day of Nick and Amy's fifth anniversary. It is also the day Amy disappears. Left behind - the first cryptic clue in a treasure hunt Amy always sets up for Nick.

#22 and I still love this series!

 John Sandford is back with the latest installment (#22) - Stolen Prey - in his wildly successful and hugely popular series feat

Crafty Mysteries

Book Cover ImageIn Death by Killer Mop Doll, Anastasia Pollack is having a rough, well, life.

Mystery with a twist

 I read Rosamund Lupton's debut novel 'Sister' last year.

Have you read Jo Nesbo yet?

 Harry Hole returns in Jo Nesbo's latest North American release - Phantom.  If this is a new to you series, I wouldn't recommend starting with Phantom.

Stevens writes from experience...

 Taylor Stevens roared onto the scene (and the New York Times Bestseller list) with her debut thriller The Informationist.
