This week brings 64 fresh and noteworthy book releases, including a spellbinding thriller.
In The Ghostwriter by Julie Clark, the author “effortlessly delivers on her clever, metatextual premise in this devilish thriller...[She] keeps readers guessing about Taylor's motives and guilt, all while playing scrupulously fair with the reader. It adds up to a deeply satisfying shocker in the vein of Riley Sager's The Only One Left.” (Publishers Weekly)
You'll find brief information on 10 titles below, and descriptions and reviews for all of them in our New This Week section.
