How Bad Things Can Get by Darcy Coates <— PSYCH-THRILLER!! AN INFLUENCER HAS A PARTY… “…When an online influencer and several hundred of his most loyal fans land on Prosperity Island, the plan is simple: five days of elaborate games, drinking, and suntanned fun. A week in paradise should have been a welcome respite. The only survivor of an infamous cult, Ruth wants nothing more than to keep her head down and not draw attention. She’s spent decades outrunning her blood-soaked childhood, and her identity is a closely held secret. But then the true history of the island is revealed…along with its sinister connection to Ruth’s past…”
Lying in Wait: A Thriller by Michel Bussi <— MYSTERY POLICE PROCEDURAL “…three men with the same face but different birthplaces. Marelle has her work cut out for her, figuring out not only how the man died but who he really was. After questioning Duval’s widow and Rousseau’s and Bernard’s lovers, it’s clear the three women are equally in the dark. Certain only that he loved them all, the young amours join Marelle’s search for their beloved, piecing together a trail from papers he left behind. But they aren’t the only ones looking. And as danger closes in, it’s only a matter of time before their hopes of finding the truth go up in flames…”

While The Getting Is Good by Matt Riordan <— HISTORICAL THRILLER!! “...With Prohibition expiring in a matter of months, his turn from fisherman to rumrunner was supposed to be temporary. It seemed the perfect plan. Even Maggie, Eld’s normally sensible wife, is on board. Things don’t go to plan. Amid the region’s players battle to capture the biggest piece of a shrinking pie, Eld’s tiny family operation is caught in the crossfire. One bitterly cold night packing whiskey across Lake Huron costs Eld dearly, and his family even more. Hunted by gangsters and squeezed by the Depression, Eld, Maggie, and the children are scattered: Eld to Canada on a doomed quest, Maggie and her daughter forced into finding sanctuary in a faith more cult than religion...”
Not Who You Think: A Thriller by Arbor Sloane <— PSYCH-THRILLER!! “…Amelia Child has devoted her life to researching Gerald Shapiro, the Catfish Killer, a man who pretended to be other people online to gain women’s trust before meeting and killing them. Her book on the Catfish Killer, Into the Glass, earned wild success and a legion of true crime fans. Years later, Amelia is pulled back into the case when a girl from her daughter’s high school disappears, and all signs point to a copycat killer mimicking the Catfish Killer’s every move. As Amelia meets with the detective who helped her study Gerald Shapiro years ago and they become suspicious of Shapiro’s son, Amelia’s daughter Gabby receives a letter from the kidnapper threatening that she might be next...”

Playing With Forever (Hollow Point Book 4) by Riley Edwards <— SHE DOESN’T WANT COMPLICATIONS “...I swore I was done letting a man dictate my life. I’ve got a full career, two grown sons, and no time for the kind of complications Evan Sanders brings. He’s steady, commanding, maddening…and when he kisses me, every rule I set for myself goes up in flames. But danger has a way of finding me, and with threats circling the kids at my center, keeping my distance isn’t just about protecting my heart—it might be the only way to keep us all safe…”
Smuggler’s Cove (Twin Lights Book 1) by Fern Michaels <— SIBLINGS THEY INHERIT A MARINA IN A SMALL TOWN “...Both have separated themselves from their family and their past—until an unexpected bequest arrives from their late uncle. Madison and Lincoln are now the new co-owners of a marina at Smugglers Cove on the Navesink river. Instead of a fabulous, Hamptons-style property, Smugglers Cove offers little beyond a dilapidated dock, a few gas pumps, and a handful of clam boats. Madison’s plan to sell the property goes awry when a dead body is found floating under their dock and transforms their new inheritance into a crime scene. Suddenly, Madison is swapping her city-girl wardrobe for cargo pants and flannel shirts, while she and Lincoln receive a crash course in small-town Jersey shore life…”
