Some new books have come in over the past couple of weeks but I’ve been busy trying to keep my studio tables free for bookbinding projects that I think I put some of the new books away without even doing a proper post on them. Here are the ones I was just about to move to the side (you can ignore the papers & beads around):
Killer’s Island by Anna Jansson is part of the Stockholm Text Crime Series. Set in Gotland, Sweden, this thrillers starts with when a young nurse is found murdered, dressed up as a bride. The discovery awakens an old Nordic myth, forcing Detective Maria Wren to come face-to-face with an intricate web of tangled relationships and evil schemes. Sounds good to me.
Next is Clisson and Eugenie by Napoleon Bonaparte. Yes, that Napoleon. The tragic tale of Clisson and Eugenie reveals one of history’s great leaders as an accomplished writer of fiction. Did you guys know this? I had no idea. Must say I’m intrigued.
Mayhem by Sarah Pinborough is according to the blurb on the back, a sensational fact-based thriller set in shadow, gas-lit London, where monsters stalk the cobbled streets and hide in plain sight. I don’t need to know more to know that I want to read this book.
And, the last book is Delia’s Shadow by Jaime Lee Moyer. From the dust jacket: It is the dawn of a new century in San Francisco, and Delia Martin is a wealthy young woman whose life appears ideal. But a dark secret colors her life, for Delia’s most loyal companions are ghosts, as she has been gifted (or some would say cursed) with an ability to peer across to the other side. This sounds like a great choice for the R.I.P. Challenge don’t you think?
Alright, let me know if you’ve read some of these and what you thought. I am off to catch up on my reading!
Yet again, I’ve heard of none of these! You always find interesting ones that I know nothing about. But they all sound great!
Clisson and Eugenie showed up in my mailbox too. It looks pretty good if for no other reason than it is by Napoleon Bonaparte!
Delia’s Shadow is the only one you mention I’ve heard of, but they all sound good. I hope you enjoy them! I look forward to reading your thoughts on them when you do read them!
I’m reading Killer’s Island right now. It isn’t bad, but I loved her Strange Bird about the same characters.
Delia’s Shadow is a bit “romancy” but the ghost aspect is great for fall and Carl’s R.I.P. My favorite character was a minor one that should have a book of her own.
Mayhem sounds good. Enjoy your new books!
Bonaparte wrote fiction? Who knew??
They all look good, especially Clisson and Eugenie. I didn’t know Napoleon Bonaparte wrote fiction. Happy reading!
All of these look good to me. My TBR list is expanding:) Have a great week.
Enjoy your new books!!
I got Killer’s Island too and I’m super excited to finally give this author a try! Have you read any of her other books?? It looks like you have lots of good reading ahead of you….I hope you enjoy all of these!!!
