I am SO lucky to have read so many of these. I would say Perfect Prey is my next most anticipated read on this list – and is next on my #tbrpile !!!
Perfect Prey by Helen Fields sounds like my type of read, intrigue and Scottish broughs.
As for books that I’m excited to read and don’t already own, I would say Keep Her Safe is definitely on my to-buy pile!!!
These all sound pretty good. Quite a bit to get me through some winter nights coming up!
I would love to read The Child Finder. If Margaret Atwood says it’s great then I’m sold!
I’m most intrigued by The Child Finder because I absolutely loved The Enchanted!
So many to choose from! I think maybe, The Second Sister.
I’d love to read “The Second Sister”.
I think The Good Child is the one I’d most like to read, but they all sound really good!
And by The Good Child, I mean The Good Daughter 😂
It is in my “TBR” list to read Karin Slaughter’s “The Good Daughter”
I’m on a big Karin Slaughter kick lately, can’t wait to read The Good Daughter. Odd Child Out and the Names Of Dead Girls sound awesome as well!
I want to read The Child Finder!
Helen Fields’ series sounds marvelous! That’s a series I’d love to try out! 😀
The book I would choose first from this list is “Murder on the Orient Express”. I plan to see the new film as soon as it is released so I would love to read the book first! It is never too late to read Agatha Christie.
The Good Daughter sounds so interesting! These all sound like good reads for this time of year!
#savvyreadathon Haven’t read Christie’s classic, so l’d be up for that.
They all look amazing but I have heard so many great things about Odd Child Out I’d have to go with that!
Would like to read Murder on the Orient Express, excited for the movie
I think I would choose The Child Finder! #SavvyReadathon #Killercrimeclub
I would be delighted to read The Second Sister!
I really want to read the Good Daughter!
I choose perfect prey sounds really interesting.
Sooo wanna read Murder on the Orient Express. I may have read it already but I just dont remember it and I just cant find it in the stores here 🙁
All of these thrillers sound fantastic! If I had to pick just one to read though, it would be PERFECT PREY by Helen Fields.
