New Spring Releases: Mystery and Suspense Edition
I haven’t had much time to read lately, but I plan on fixing that this month. Luckily, there’s a whole new crop of winners to choose from!
Murder on the Steel Pier by Rosie Genova
This book hooked me in a few sentences and I just downloaded it to my ereader. Listen:
The morning after a blowout birthday celebration in Atlantic City, crime reporter and party girl Tess Mancini wakes up in an unfamiliar place—1955. Bread is eighteen cents a loaf, Ike occupies the White House, and the Boardwalk is crawling with vintage cars and vintage wise guys. A bewildered Tess is sure of only two things: One, she’s not crazy, and two, the clothes are fabulous.
I’m all in!

Pomona Afton Can So Solve a Murder by Bellamy Rose
This premise is a hoot! It’s described as “Clueless meets Clue.” The fun title drew my eye, and I love that it’s a suspense / romance mashup. Can’t wait to read it.

The Summer Guests by Tess Gerritsen
Last summer I heard Ms. Gerritsen speak at a conference about her inspiration for this series. She’d moved to a small town in Maine and noticed that a lot of the retired folks wouldn’t talk about their jobs. And realized eventually that she was living in a hotbed of retired CIA agents. This new book is the second in the series, and I can’t wait to dive back in.

Parents Weekend by Alex Finlay
This author always gives you someone to root for. His storycraft reminds me a lot of Harlan Coben. And since I’m in my Parents Weekend era, I hear this book barking my name!
