I have been having an excellent couple of weeks for book, as I have been lucky enough to receive several incredible and amazing new novels from some of my local publishers and from Netgalley. These novels include some truly awesome new releases, including some books that have the potential to be the top novels of 2023 and early 2024. I am extremely keen to check out all of the books below and they should make for some amazing reads.
Resurrection by Michael Connelly
I got Resurrection Walk a while ago but I haven’t had a chance to really highlight it on this blog yet. The cool and epic new book from Michael Connelly, Resurrection Walk sees the return of two of the author’s main protagonists and they solve a complex and intriguing case. I had a brilliant time already reading Resurrection Walk and I am hoping to get a review up for it soon.
Vendetta by Sarah Barrie
I was also very happy to receive a copy of the new Sarah Barrie novel, Vendetta. The sequel to Barrie’s previous novels, Unforgiven and Retribution, Vendetta will see the series’ maverick protagonist go up against bikie gangs and revenge driven bombers in an excellent piece of Australian crime fiction. I have actually already started reading Vendetta and it is proving to be an excellent and captivating read.
The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose
Another excellent book I recently picked up was the intriguing novel, The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose. The sequel to Prose’s unique debut, The Maid, The Mystery Guest will follow the author’s compelling protagonist as she finds herself involved in another murder at her hotel. I am hoping to read this book next and it should be quite a fun read.
Extinction by Douglas Preston
A fantastic novel from early 2024 that sees a brutal series of murders take place in an advanced biological zoo filled with resurrected creatures from prehistory. This book sounds so incredibly awesome, and I cannot wait to dive into it.
Dark Arena by Jack Beaumont
A compelling and impressive thriller that will serve as a sequel to Beaumont’s explosive debut, The Frenchman.
West Heart Kill by Dann McDorman
One of the most intriguing books I recently received was the compelling debut, West Heart Kill. Marketed as a unique take on the murder mystery genre, West Heart Kill will apparently present a classic crime fiction scenario and completely turn it on its head. This sounds like such a fantastic read and I cannot wait to dive into it.
The Watch Maker’s Hand by Jeffery Deaver
The latest intriguing Lincoln Rhyme thriller from Jeffery Deaver, this new awesome book will see Deaver’s protagonist attempt to stop a series of deadly attacks on New York City.
The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson
A cool and twisty Christmas themed novella from the always impressive Peter Swanson.
Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree
After wowing the world with his beloved novel, Legends & Lattes, Travis Baldree presents another cozy fantasy novel, this time a prequel set inside a second-hand bookshop. I haven’t had the pleasure of reading Legends & Lattes but I like the sound of Bookshops & Bonedust and I’m sure I will have fun with it.
The Wiregrass by Adrian Hyland
The final book that I want to highlight in this book haul post is the cool sounding thriller, The Wiregrass, by bestselling author Adrian Hyland. This sounds like another excellent read and I look forward to diving into it.
Well, that’s the end of this latest Book Haul post. As you can see I have quite a bit of reading to do at the moment thanks to all these awesome books that have come in. Let me know which of the above you are most interested in and make sure to check back in a few weeks to see my reviews of them.
