New Mystery and Thriller Books for the Week of March 18

The Summer Guests by Tess Gerritsen

This is the second Martini Club mystery. Check out my review of book one, The Spy Coast!

Killer Potential by Hannah Deitch

I listened to this as a LibroFM audiobook. I wouldn’t call this a traditional mystery or thriller, but it does start with a murder. It says a lot about female rage and how women are portrayed in the media.

If you like the vibe of authors like Emma Cline and Megan Abbott, give it a try!

My Goodreads review is here!

Haunting of Room 904 by Erika Wurth

Friends Helping Friends by Patrick Hoffman

Pomona Afton Can So Solve a Murder by Bellamy Rose

Saltwater by Katy Hays

I just finished this one – it is fairly slow paced with all the action at the end, but makes a great addition to my list of Books For Fans of Succession.

My Readers Guide to Salt Water is coming soon!

Nowhere by Allison Gunn

I heard from a trusted reader friend that this leans toward horror, so I’m putting it on the back burner for now. Have YOU read it? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

I Would Die for You by Sandie Jones

I LOVED The Guilt Trip so I was excited for this one.

And… it was weird. I explain it all here on my Readers Guide for I Would Die For You! With spoilers, so you can see what I mean!

Content note: these are dark book and there are two mentions of animal cruelty in The Unlucky Ones BUT Rocket the Golden Retriever is FINE.

I reviewed most of the prior books in the Black Harbor series: Hello, Transcriber (2021), The Widowmaker (2022), When I’m Dead (2023).

Check out my Goodreads review of The Unlucky Ones here. I discuss it as the last book of the series.
