Full Review: 🔗 bio/blog
bit.ly/WhatTheWifeKnew

The bestselling author Darby Kane returns with her best yet—WHAT THE WIFE KNEW.

A twisty game of cat-and-mouse domestic suspense thriller of revenge revolving around a triangle plus more: a first wife, a second wife, and a husband/father.

Who beat the new wife to murdering her husband? A job that was supposed to be hers.

My thoughts...

WHAT THE WIFE KNEW is a suspenseful, twisty, plot-driven whodunit domestic thriller that keeps you guessing and leaves you on the edge of your seat.

Plenty of suspects exist in this complex, twisted, multi-layered suspense mystery; they all have dirty, dark secrets from the past. At its center is the snarky, tenacious, and driven protagonist, which may be your favorite to the explosive conclusion.

The dual past-present narrative POVs and flashbacks slowly unravel the secrets, lies, betrayal, schemes, and murder, keeping you captivated, fully engaged, and absorbed in the story. A gripping tale of obsession and deceit

You have no clue where the author is taking you, but you'll enjoy the action-packed roller coaster ride, which is wild, thrilling, and entertaining. Watch for the letters, stairs, bat, scissors, and gun.

Recs...

WHAT THE WIFE KNEW is for fans of the author and those who enjoy twisty plot-driven novels by Shari Lapena, Mary Kubica, BA Paris, Liv Constantine, Victoria Helen Stone, Robyn Harding, Michele Campbell, Sarah Pekkanen, and Kaira Rouda.

Full Review: bit.ly/GrecoJDC
🔗 bio/blog

C.G. Cooper, a bestselling author of military thrillers Young Adult and the Corps Justice series, returns with an emotionally charged standalone, GRECO.

A college football star embarks on a poignant journey to break free from his father’s entangled past sins. This complex human underdog story will tug at your heartstrings, leaving you fervently rooting for the MC until the end.

“GRECO is an intricately woven, coming-of-age, small-town, powerful story of loss, hope, and courage in the face of evil and adversity.”

Audiobook...

Cooper is a new author for me. I was drawn to the audiobook because of the narrator, Will Damron (a favorite), who gave a superb performance with his keen storytelling skills, making the characters come alive!

My thoughts...

GRECO is a poignant coming-of-age story set in a small rural town. It delves into the protagonist's struggle with identity and the burden of his family's past sins. You'll be deeply moved by Greco's unwavering determination to carve a better life for himself and his brother and his relentless fight to bring light into the darkness.

A line between innocence and hard wisdom, between hopelessness and faith, beautifully told, readers who enjoy tales of loss, love, family, redemption, and emotional strength in the face of hardship and adversity will cheer on GRECO to the satisfying ending.

Compelling and heart-wrenching! An ideal pick for book clubs. Loved Greco, Shelia, and Leroy!

I look forward to reading more from C. G. Cooper!

Recs...

Brimming with tension, family secrets, and betrayal, for fans of the author, coming-of-age stories and family dramas. Also, for those who enjoy works by Catherine Ryan Hyde, Fredrik Backman, John Hart, Wade Rouse, and William Kent Krueger.

Full Review:
bit.ly/TheCompoundJDC

From the author of her bestselling popular cop procedurals and crime thrillers, Robin Mahle (favorite author) is back following The Man in My Attic and The Chef (Secrets & Suspense Standalone series) with THE COMPOUND.

The past collides with the present in this spine-chilling, terrifying thriller with a jaw-dropping twist and an unstoppable heroine!

A film set meets a sinister cult where nothing is as it appears, keeping you on the edge of your seat with every turn of the page.

My thoughts...

From the Iowa cornfields to the farmlands, the film set, the strong characters, the past cult, and the multi-layered story from past to present, Mahle captivates you in this haunting, edge-of-your-seat, atmospheric, and creepy thriller that will send shivers down your spine!

Sometimes, our darkest secrets are the hardest ones to leave behind. Twist follows the twist, and nothing is as it seems.

Set against a ticking clock, this haunting and atmospheric thriller pits a ruthless cult from the past against once a daughter, now a woman who will do anything to keep herself safe and those she loves.

A dark, chilling, atmospheric thriller infused with mysterious and flawed characters. A taut and unpredictable psychological thriller. (combining crime, detective, cop procedural, small rural town, and coming of age). Loved Kylie, Jesse, and Dale.

I have been a huge fan of the author since her Detective Rebecca Ellis series and anxiously await the next in the series. Whether a series or standalone, Mahle masterfully juggles twisty plots, multiple timelines, characters, and storylines for a highly entertaining read. You will enjoy the detectives and FBI agent, the strong main character, and the wicked twist at the end.

Recs...

For fans of the author and those who enjoy cult stories: JP Pomare, Ashley Winstead, Willow Rose & Freida McFadden.

THE HOUSE SWAP

The queen of psychological thrillers, bestselling Miranda Rijks (a favorite author), returns with her latest domestic family psychological suspense, THE HOUSE SWAP —When two families swap houses for a holiday vacation, it turns deadly in this nightmarish roller coaster ride.

About...

Elodie and Lewis need a holiday. They live in a luxury townhouse in Knightsbridge, London.

They decide to swap houses with Piers and Susan, the owners of a Chateau in Provence, France. The photos on the blog look stunning, and they are delighted for this two-week holiday. It will be the perfect getaway! (or so they think).

My Thoughts...

You can always count on Miranda to select the perfect atmospheric settings, vivid descriptions, wit/humor, and characters in sticky situations with more secrets than you can count, with ulterior motives to keep you turning the pages.

After all, neither can go home as someone else is in their respective homes. Tantalizing and scandalous! After reading this, you will never consider a house swap!

THE HOUSE SWAP is a wild ride, brimming with tension, deception, lies, and dark hidden secrets. The constant suspense and danger keep the reader hooked, making it a perfect read for fans of psychological thrillers.

Told from alternating POVs of Elodie, Piers, and Rafael, the story delves deep into their struggles, deception, and hidden secrets. This intense, entertaining family drama will resonate with readers who enjoy complex character dynamics.

Recs...

THE HOUSE SWAP is for fans of the author and those who enjoy works by K. L. Slater, Daniel Hurst, Emily Shiner, Jenova Rose, Kaira Rouda, and Freida McFadden.

Full Review: 🔗 bio/blog

From the author of The Couple in the Photo, Author Helen Cooper returns with her fourth novel, MY DARLING BOY—a gripping domestic suspense of Two Mothers. Best Friends. Two Sons. And ONE devastating murder.

How far will they go to protect themselves and their family?

My thoughts...

MY DARLING BOY is a twisty, emotionally charged psychological thriller of domestic suspense. The author skillfully weaves a web of intrigue, leaving the reader captivated by the ongoing mystery of why one son would murder his friend and where he went after prison.

The author masterfully uses misdirection and allows the POV of both Chrissy and Alice, as well as the aftermath and the complications within the pub, the village, and the families.

From dark, hidden family secrets across two generations, including a betrayal and a shocking revelation, MY DARLING BOY asks how far you would go to protect those you love.

Multi-layered and twisty, from friendship, family, deception, loss, revenge, dark hidden secrets, betrayal, and forgiveness.

Recs...

MY DARLING BOY is for fans of the author and those who enjoy complex family dramas and works by Louise Jensen, Shari Lapena, Victoria Helen Stone, Darby Kane, Daniel Hurst, Sarah Bonner, and K.L. Slater.
