SUNBURN (MARCH 2018)

"Atmospheric" is the term reviewers have used to set the scene for Lippman's new novel. That immediately commands my attention...This sounds like a captivating story..Don't miss it! According to several blog readers it's a must read....

SUNBURN by Laura Lippman (Psychological Thriller)
Audiobook available, read by Susan Bennett
They meet at a local tavern in the small town of Belleville, Delaware. 
Polly is set on heading west. Adam says he’s also passing through. 
Yet she stays and he stays --- drawn to this mysterious redhead 
whose quiet stillness both unnerves and excites him. Over the course
 of a punishing summer, Polly and Adam abandon themselves to 
a steamy, inexorable affair. 

Still, each holds something back from the other --- dangerous
 lethal, secrets. Then someone dies. Was it an accident, 
or part of a plan? By now, Adam and Polly are so ensnared in each
 other’s lives and lies that neither one knows how to get away --- 
or even if they want to. Is their love strong enough to withstand
 the truth, or will it ultimately destroy them? Reviewed by Ray Palen.

ENOUGH ALREADY

If talk of politics makes you think back to a life away from cable news, Twitter and all the rest......
THE GIRL BEFORE by J.P. Delaney offers a great escape. Bookreporter.com had an interesting review...
By the way, JP Delaney is a pseudonym for a writer who has published best selling fiction under
other names...Guess who?!

THE GIRL BEFORE by JP Delaney (Psychological Thriller)

Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control. The space is intended to transform its occupant --- and it does. After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street, she is instantly drawn to the space --- and to its aloof but seductive creator. Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home’s previous tenant, a woman similar to her in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror as the girl before.

WORTH NOTING (FEBRUARY 2015)

I recently read the following review on Bookreporter.com and simultaneously received an email from a blog reader who expressed similar sentiments. M.O. Walsh has written a heartfelt, old fashioned Southern novel, ruptured by an unspeakable crime. According to both readers this is a compelling and unforgettable book.

MY SUNSHINE AWAY by M.O. Walsh    I was lucky enough to read MY SUNSHINE AWAY back in the spring of 2014, as I interviewed M.O. Walsh for the BEA Book Buzz session last May. When I read the title, I started humming the song “You Are My Sunshine,” which I learned is one of the state songs of Louisiana. Then I read the first line of the book, “There were four suspects in the rape of Lindy Simpson,” and I stopped thinking sunny thoughts. In the summer of 1989, Lindy was a girl who caught boys’ eyes, but while she was turning heads, she never seemed to notice. Then she is attacked one night, and the world changes for both her and those in the neighborhood around her. The “safe” world became a lot less innocent. MY SUNSHINE AWAY is a brilliant, beautifully written coming-of-age story that has a mystery rolled into it --- a mystery that is not resolved until the last few pages. (www.bookreporter.com) ANOTHER ONE TO WATCH....  CRAZY LOVE YOU by Lisa Unger  Lisa Unger has a knack for writing the kind of edgy psychological thriller that lures you in and wraps itself around you. Then, just when you think I got this story nailed, she whooshes you off into another direction. When you settle there, you know you better not get comfortable. This is a light read, a twisted tale, suspenseful and fast paced....mixed reviews. To order click on the Amazon Search Box in the Sidebar.
