Few genres offer as page turning excitement like thrillers. Sure I love a good romance, but when it comes to a quick engrossing read that is sure to entertain me, I almost always go fr a thriller

This book sounds so promising and this excerpt peaked my interest and I can’t wait to continue reading this one once I get through a few other books. I love thrillers and have recently started picking them up more and more during this strange time.

Not to mention my book club is all about murder mysteries and thrillers so this might be a contender book for this fall as it sounds like a rather diverting read. Continue reading “Special Feature and Excerpt: The Night Swim by Megan Goldin” →

I love mystery novels and whodunnits and so much the better if its a fast paced thriller. This debut mystery novel from Elizabeth Lewes has a ton to recommend itself.

One of the things that really jumped out at me was the setting. I live in the Pac NW (Oregon) and this book is set in Eastern Washington—so basically neighbors. I love books (especially mystery thrillers) that are set in small rural towns.

Small town America is often praised as the idyllic so having a murder mystery set there really takes that traditional troupe and spins it on its head. This one has also received a lot of advanced praise from Publisher’s Weekly  as an ‘outstanding debut’ so I am really looking forward to checking it out soon!

I used to read a ton of thrillers when I was younger. The Kay Scarpetta novels got me hooked on reading again as a teen/young adult and once I devoured them, I moved on to some true crime as well as a number of other thriller/mysteries.

But then I kind of stopped reading them in favor of historical fiction. But over the last couple of years I have started to pick one up here and there. Now I am part of a murder book club and we are always looking for new and twisty murder mysteries to read.

This is one of those books that jumped out at me from my desk when it came up for review. Maybe it was the bright red cover or maybe it was the author but either way this book is a big contender for our September book pick. I am thrilled to be sharing all the info with you guys today. It’s getting a ton of advanced praise and I am looking forward to reading it soon, hopefully for our book club! Continue reading “Special Feature: Behind the Red Door by Megan Collins” →

Today I have an excerpt for you guys and if it sounds like something you might enjoy then you will want to pick up a copy now!

It’s been getting great reviews and sounds so twisty and fast paced that I’m afraid to read the excerpt because I know I am going to want to read it cover to cover! Continue reading “Special Feature and Excerpt: Lies Lies Lies by Adele Parks” →
