Broken Heart

I have been making the same cake for at least 15-20 years on Valentine’s Day. I have a heart-shaped pan, and I frost it with whipped cream and then garnish it with berries. So I did all the usual things and placed it on the heart-shaped plate that we always use. About five minutes later, it suffered heartbreak. So amusing! It still tasted great.

Last weekend, I finished reading one terrific book --- and I started another. With both, I could not wait to get back to them, which is a wonderful feeling.

The first is from A. J. Finn, who many of you remember as the author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW. His new book, END OF STORY, releases on Tuesday, and it has a great setup. Sebastian Trapp, a reclusive mystery novelist, has invited his longtime correspondent to his home as he is dying. Nicky Hunter, who loves detective fiction, happily moves into his San Francisco mansion to draft the end of his story. Also in the house is Sebastian's second wife, a nephew and his daughter. All hold Nicky at arm’s length. They clearly are not sure why she is there and what she plans to write. Years ago, 20 years to be exact, Sebastian’s first wife and teenage son vanished, never to be seen again. Did the novelist cook up the perfect crime?

There were sections where I did not want to think about anything except what was happening in the book. When a book has me drawn in like that, I love it. I am not sharing more as I do not want to spoil anything. Wait, I will share that Knives Out definitely is a great comp. Suffice to say, it will be a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick!

Next up was DAUGHTER OF MINE by Megan Miranda, which releases on April 9th. The premise here again is terrific. Hazel Sharp unexpectedly inherits her childhood home, and she’s not sure she wants to be back there. The house is near a lake, and a drought is causing the water levels there to drop. And suddenly evidence emerges that may solve what happened when her mother disappeared the previous weekend.

I have been reading 100 pages a night, and I cannot wait to see how it all wraps up. I have been a fan of Megan’s work for years, but this time she really has ramped it up. I love moments like this when I am reading an author whose work I admire.

We hosted this month’s “Bookaccino Live” book preview event on Wednesday afternoon. I talked about 26 books releasing between now and March 5th, plus 14 from April, that we wanted to get on your radar. You can watch the presentation here and see a list of the featured titles here.

Someone wrote and asked me for a copy of the leave behind for the November “Bookaccino Live” event. I would like to remind you that all “Bookaccino Live” events are archived here.

Next month's “Bookaccino Live” book preview event will take place on Wednesday, March 13th at 2pm ET. I will present titles releasing between March 12th and April 2nd, in addition to a few from May, that we think will appeal to you. Click here to sign up. Those attending the live event will be asked to answer a survey about the books from the presentation that they are most interested in reading and will be eligible to win a prize.

LONE WOLF is the ninth installment in Gregg Hurwitz’s series starring Evan Smoak, a former black ops government assassin known as Orphan X. He has since reinvented himself as someone who will go anywhere and risk everything to help the truly desperate who have nowhere else to turn. This time, an unlikely, tiny job quickly explodes into his biggest mission yet, involving twisted AI technocrat billionaires and a mysterious female assassin.

Ray Palen has our review and calls the book “a non-stop thrill ride. The twists and turns are often stunning, and once the story picks up speed, there is no turning back.” He goes on to say, “Hurwitz has created outstanding complex characters, and readers are sure to enjoy spending time with them. He also has an active sense of humor that humanizes them, making them relatable and so much fun to be around. This might be his best Orphan X thriller yet.” I confess to having a crush on Evan Smoak. No worries; my husband knows. 

Terry Hayes, who wrote the #1 global bestseller I AM PILGRIM, is back with his eagerly awaited new thriller. THE YEAR OF THE LOCUST introduces readers to Kane, a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA. His function is to go in, do whatever is required and get out again --- by whatever means necessary. But when he travels to Pakistan’s badlands to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West, he instead meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction.

According to our reviewer Lorraine W. Shanley, “Hayes has devised a fine plot and created some memorable characters in THE YEAR OF THE LOCUST. But anyone who thinks that what they’re getting here is a typical espionage thriller will be in for a big surprise!” I loved I AM PILGRIM and have been waiting for Terry's next book!

Other books we’re reviewing this week include:

• THE PHOENIX CROWN: Kate Quinn and Janie Chang’s new novel is about the intertwined lives of two wronged women, spanning from the chaos of the San Francisco earthquake to the glittering palaces of Versailles.
   
• HARBOR LIGHTS: The eight stories in James Lee Burke’s newly released collection move from the marshlands on the Gulf of Mexico to the sweeping plains of Colorado to prisons, saloons and trailer parks across the South, weaving together love, friendship, violence, survival and revenge.
   
• OWNING UP: George Pelecanos’ four blistering novellas is drawn together by themes of strife, violence and humanity. They grapple with random chance, the bind of consequence, and the forked paths a life can take.
   
• THE BOOK OF LOVE: Three teenagers become pawns in a supernatural power struggle in this long-awaited debut novel from Pulitzer Prize finalist Kelly Link, who is best known for her short story collections.

Once a black ops government assassin known as Orphan X, Evan Smoak left the Program, went deep underground, and reinvented himself as someone who will go anywhere and risk everything to help the truly desperate. Since then, Evan has fought international crime syndicates and drug cartels, faced down the most powerful people in the world, and even brought down a president. Now struggling with an unexpected personal crisis, Evan goes back to the very basics of his mission. This time, the truly desperate is a little girl who wants him to find her missing dog. This unlikely, tiny job quickly explodes into his biggest mission yet, one that finds him battered between twisted AI technocrat billionaires, a mysterious female assassin who seems a mirror of himself, and personal stakes so gut-wrenching he can scarcely make sense of them.

THE YEAR OF THE LOCUST by Terry Hayes

THE YEAR OF THE LOCUST by Terry Hayes (Political Thriller)
Audiobook available, read by Jeff Harding
If, like Kane, you’re a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA, then boundaries have no meaning. Your function is to go in, do whatever is required, and get out again --- by whatever means necessary. You know when to run, when to hide --- and when to shoot. But some places don’t play by the rules. Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane’s experience. The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan meet are such a place --- a place where violence is the only way to survive. Kane travels there to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West, but instead he meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction. A frightening, clever, vicious man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart. Reviewed by Lorraine W. Shanley.

ONE WRONG WORD by Hank Phillippi Ryan
A New Release Spotlight Title

ONE WRONG WORD by Hank Phillippi Ryan (Psychological Thriller)
I love Arden Ward, the protagonist in Hank Phillippi Ryan’s latest psychological thriller, ONE WRONG WORD. Arden is a crisis manager who has a crisis of her own. Near the beginning of the book, she is told by her boss that the wife of one of their biggest clients thinks that she is having an affair with her husband. Instead of losing the client, Arden loses her job. But before she goes, her boss gives her one last assignment as something of a peace offering.

The new client, Ned Bannister, recently was found not guilty of murder, but his relationship with the rest of the community needs help. His wife, Cordelia, is very concerned that she and her children have lost their station in life, and they must find a way to restore it. Arden has some misgivings about this case, but it beats just boxing up her office and having a goodbye party.

WITCHCRAFT: A History in Thirteen Trials by Marion Gibson (History)
Audiobook available, read by Rose Akroyd
WITCHCRAFT is a dramatic journey through 13 witch trials across history, some famous --- like the Salem witch trials --- and some lesser-known: on Vardø island, Norway, in the 1620s, where an indigenous Sami woman was accused of murder; in France in 1731, during the country’s last witch trial, where a young woman was pitted against her confessor and cult leader; in Pennsylvania in 1929, where a magical healer was labelled a “witch”; in Lesotho in 1948, where British colonial authorities executed local leaders. Exploring how witchcraft became feared, decriminalized, reimagined and eventually reframed as gendered persecution, WITCHCRAFT takes on the intersections between gender and power, indigenous spirituality and colonial rule, and political conspiracy and individual resistance.
