message 1: by Law (new)

Law Where to start? Half the list is mystery thriller. A third is historical fiction and there's one urban fantasy. No contemporary novels here. If Something Happens to Me might be good.


message 2: by Susan (new)

Susan Nothing really catches my eye here.


message 4: by Paul (new)

Paul Dymond Camino Ghosts is on the list. I really liked the first one (Island) and really liked Mercer. I was disappointed she wasn't in Winds as much and didn't enjoy that one as much. Hopefully she's front and centre in this one.

Srujana The Act of Disappearing by Nathan Gower got me intrigued. Can't wait to read it!!
