I have been having another excellent couple of weeks for books, and I was lucky enough to receive several incredible and amazing new novels from local publishers and Netgalley. These novels include some truly awesome new releases, including books that have the potential to be some of my top reads of the year. I cannot wait to dive into them, and I so excited to see how they all turn out.
The Wrong Man by Tim Ayliffe
The first new book I want to highlight is the awesome Australian thriller, The Wrong Man by Tim Ayliffe. The fifth book in Ayliffe’s fantastic John Bailey series (made up of The Greater Good, State of Fear, The Enemy Within and Killer Traitor Spy), The Wrong Man promises to be another outstanding read as the protagonist investigates a mysterious murder connected to a convicted serial killer. I have no doubt The Wrong Man is going to be an epic book and it will probably end up being one of the top pieces of Australian fiction this year.
Sentinel by Mark Greaney
I also just received a copy of the fantastic sounding thriller Sentinel by Mark Greaney. The sequel to Greaney’s awesome book, Armored, Sentinel will follow the bodyguard protagonist and his wife as they get caught up in a deadly coup in Africa. This should be a pretty fun and action-packed read and I cannot wait to dive into it.
Breaking the Dark by Lisa Jewell
Another new book I was particularly happy to receive was Breaking the Dark. Written by acclaimed author Lisa Jewell, Breaking the Dark is the first book in a new Marvel Crime series that will set elaborate mysteries by major crime fiction writers inside the Marvel universe. This initial novel will follow Jessica Jones as she investigates a dark crime in Hell’s Kitchen. I cannot wait to read Breaking the Dark, and it should be a pretty epic novel
The Chamber by Will Dean
I was very happy to receive a copy of The Chamber by Will Dean, and it is one of the more entertaining sounding books I recently got. The Chamber will see five people trapped in a hyperbolic chamber for a month, with the fun twist being one of them is a killer. I cannot wait to see how crazy this book gets, and I know I’m going to love it.
Beyond Summerland by Jenny Lecoat
Another interesting book that I received was Beyond Summerland by Jenny Lecoat. A compelling historical drama, Beyond Summerland will showcase the immediate aftermath of the liberation of Jersey and the chaos that follows. I really enjoyed Lecoat’s first book, The Viennese Girl, and I cannot wait to read this second novel from her.
The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks
An intriguing and mysterious debut novel that will follow a dark train that travels a wasteland in historical Asia. This book sounds very unique and I look forward to trying it out.
All the Colours of the Dark by Chris Whitaker
A complex and dark thriller about a missing child that sounds particularly interesting.
The Chilling by Riley James
The final book I recently received was a Netgalley copy of The Chilling by Riley James. The debut novel of a new Australian author, The Chilling sounds like an excellent and captivating thriller that will follow unusual and dark events occurring in an Antarctic research station. Sure to be a particularly awesome read, I am very curious by this upcoming book.
