Discover this week’s 33 new releases, including a gripping thriller about three wives who join forces to stop a serial killer.
In The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives by Elizabeth Arnott, “Arnott plays scrupulously fair with readers, seeding the narrative with well-disguised clues, but the novel's real appeal lies in its convincing evocation of the '60s and its tender depiction of the bond between its leads. It's a winner.” (Publishers Weekly)
