Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn
For readers of Gillian Flynn and Tana French comes one of the decade’s most anticipated debuts: a twisty, powerful Hitchcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighbouring house. It isn’t paranoia if it’s really happening… Look for the movie version later this year.
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
From the best-selling author of Gone Girl, Sharp Objects is the book that inspired the HBO series starring Amy Adams. Fresh from a brief stay at a psychiatric hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family’s Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims — a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story — and survive this homecoming.
Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter
What if the person you thought you knew best turns out to be someone you never knew at all...? Andrea thinks she knows everything about her mother, Laura. But all that changes when a trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she’s been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one would ever find her. But now she’s been exposed and nothing will ever be the same again. Coming to Netflix!
The Late Show by Michael Connelly
Bestselling author Michael Connelly introduces Renee Ballard, a fierce young detective fighting to prove herself on the LAPD’s toughest beat – the late show. Renee Ballard works the midnight shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing few, as each morning she turns everything over to the daytime units. But one night, Ballard catches two assignments she doesn’t want to part with. Propulsive as a jolt of adrenaline and featuring a bold and defiant new heroine, The Late Show is yet more proof that Michael Connelly is a master of the genre.
Watching You by Lisa Jewell
Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighbourhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics. It’s not the sort of place where people are brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is watching you.
Jewell is a very popular author in print at the library. In this book, no one is who they seem – and everyone is hiding something. Who has been murdered — and who would have wanted one of their neighbours dead? This one will keep you guessing until the last page.
No Exit by Taylor Adams
No Exit is a brilliant, edgy thriller about four strangers, a blizzard, a kidnapped child and a determined young woman desperate to unmask and outwit a vicious psychopath. With exquisitely controlled pacing, Taylor Adams diabolically ratchets up the tension with every page. Full of terrifying twists and hairpin turns, No Exit will have you on the edge of your seat and leave you breathless.
