It’s Tuesday! That means it is time to make a little bit of room on the bookshelves, load up your ereader, or make your way to your local library. In other words – It is time to get your hands on a new book!
Here are just a few books that have just been released that you may want to grab soon:
Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes
readable follow-up to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You, Caroline
Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklist calls “the love child of Holden
Caulfield and Patrick Bateman.”
Hidden Bodies marks the return of
a voice that Stephen King described as original and hypnotic, and
through the divisive and charmingly sociopathic character of Joe
Goldberg, Kepnes satirizes and dissects our culture, blending suspense
with scathing wit.
Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies.
In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them,
collateral damage in his quest for love. Now he’s heading west to Los
Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind
him.
In Hollywood, Joe blends in effortlessly with the other
young upstarts. He eats guac, works in a bookstore, and flirts with a
journalist neighbor. But while others seem fixated on their own
reflections, Joe can’t stop looking over his shoulder. The problem with
hidden bodies is that they don’t always stay that way. They re-emerge,
like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe
wants most: truelove. And when he finds it in a darkened room in Soho
House, he’s more desperate than ever to keep his secrets buried. He
doesn’t want to hurt his new girlfriend—he wants to be with her forever.
But if she ever finds out what he’s done, he may not have a choice…
The Smell of Other People’s Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock
anywhere else. This deeply moving and authentic debut is for fans of
Rainbow Rowell, Louise Erdrich, Sherman Alexie, and Benjamin Alire
Saenz. Intertwining stories of love, tragedy, wild luck, and salvation
on the edge of America’s Last Frontier introduce a writer of rare
talent.
Ruth has a secret that she can’t hide forever. Dora wonders if she can
ever truly escape where she comes from, even when good luck strikes.
Alyce is trying to reconcile her desire to dance, with the life she’s
always known on her family’s fishing boat. Hank and his brothers decide
it’s safer to run away than to stay home—until one of them ends up in
terrible danger.
Four very different lives are about to become entangled. This
unforgettable book is about people who try to save each other—and how
sometimes, when they least expect it, they succeed.
What Remains of Me by Alison Gaylin
bestselling author of the Brenna Spector series returns with her most
ambitious book to date, a spellbinding novel of psychological suspense,
set in the glamorous, wealthy world of Hollywood—a darkly imaginative
and atmospheric tale of revenge and betrayal, presumed guilt and
innocence lost, dirty secrets and family ties reminiscent of the
bestsellers of Laura Lippman, Gillian Flynn, and Harlan Coben.
Nobody’s perfect. Everybody’s got a drawer somewhere with something hidden in it.
On
June 28, 1980—the hottest night of the year—Kelly Michelle Lund shoots
and kills Oscar-nominated director John McFadden at a party in his home.
. . . And instantly becomes a media sensation, her chilling smile
fodder for national nightmares. For years, speculation swirls over the
enigmatic seventeen-year-old’s motives, information she’s refused to
share. Convicted of the murder, she loses her youth and her freedom—but
keeps her secrets to herself.
Thirty years later—and five years
after her release from prison—the past has come back to haunt Kelly. Her
father-in-law, movie legend Sterling Marshall, is found in a pool of
blood in his home in the Hollywood Hills—dead from a shot to the head,
just like his old friend John McFadden.
Once again, Kelly is
suspected of the high profile murder. But this time, she’s got some
unexpected allies who believe she’s innocent—of both killings—and want
to help her clear her name. But is she?
Written with masterful precision and control, What Remains of Me
brilliantly moves forward and back in time, playing out the murders
side by side—interweaving subtle connections and peeling away layers of
events to reveal the shocking truth.
She’s Not There by Joy Fielding
A novel of
psychological suspense about a woman whose life takes a shocking turn
when a young girl contacts her, claiming to be her daughter, kidnapped
in Mexico years earlier, from the New York Times bestselling author of Someone is Watching.
A
lifetime ago, every year Carole Shipley looked forward to her wedding
anniversary. But then a celebratory trip to Mexico for the occasion with
her husband and friends ended in the unsolved kidnapping of her infant
daughter, Samantha. Now, fifteen years after that horrific time,
divorced and isolated, Carole is forced to relive the kidnapping by
reporters who call every year on the anniversary of Samantha’s
disappearance. However, this year when the phone rings, Carole hears the
sweet voice of a girl claiming to be her long-lost daughter. Plunged
back into the world of heartbreak, suspicion and questions that led the
case to run cold so many years ago, Carole doesn’t know what or who to
believe. But when she starts to figure it out, she finds the answers
dangerously close to home.
I really enjoyed Hidden Bodies. I really want to read The Smell of Other People's Houses. Not only is the title great I have seen such positive things for it. Thanks for sharing!
I really liked both of those books a lot. The title of The Smell of Other People's Houses is one of the best that I have seen in a long time.
I’m looking forward to The Smell of Other People’s Houses. Unfortunately, I’m on a book-acquiring ban, so it’ll have to wait until my TBR pile is down to a reasonable size.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
I am supposed to be on a ban myself…but it isn't working out for me. I think that you would enjoy The Smell of Other People's Houses.
Great day for releases right? Hidden Bodies sounds so interesting.
