I have chosen to follow Early Word for the books recommended link. The weekly update of new titles and books certain to be headline grabbers will prove helpful in keeping current with publishing trends. It is also a good way to keep up with the latest books being made into movies.
I will also be following RT Book Reviews as the recommended genre link. Being a fan of mysteries and suspense, I don't tend to follow many of the romance authors or series. This will be an excellent opportunity to brush up on my readers services skills regarding these books.
I would like to recommend two legal thrillers that I recently read for Genre Boot Camp. Your blog says you like mystery and suspense. I think the hop to legal thrillers would be an enjoyable one for you as many of the books in this genre as suspenseful. The two books that I would recommend are A Time to Kill by Grisham and Defending Jacob by Landay. Check my blog for more info. about these titles. Kathleen M.
ReplyDeleteI know you love edgy mysteries and thrillers, and I know that you are wild about Ireland, so I thought you would love Tana French. Her first book is "In the Woods," a thriller about two Irish detectives, members of the elite Dublin Murder Squad, searching for the murderer of a young girl who was found dead at an ancient archaeological dig. The detectives are young, fearless, and flawed, and as the story unfolds, ghosts of the past hamper the investigation and threaten to destroy their matchless teamwork. I love the way she evokes the Irish patois and lilt in dialogue, and I love the relationship she creates between the detectives. There's also a thread of the paranormal running through the novel, which leaves the story on a puzzling note, but that did not stop me from galloping to the stacks for her next one, "The Likeness," which was even more fascinating, bizarre, and beautifully written.
