The clock has struck! It is Tuesday, New Book Release Day, and I’ve downloaded one of the books I’ve been eagerly awaiting.
Sunburn, by Laura Lippman: Inspired by James M. Cain’s masterpieces The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, and Mildred Pierce, Sunburn is a tantalizing modern noir from the incomparable Laura Lippman.
New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman returns with a superb novel of psychological suspense about a pair of lovers with the best intentions and the worst luck: two people locked in a passionate yet uncompromising game of cat and mouse. But instead of rules, this game has dark secrets, forbidden desires, inevitable betrayals—and cold-blooded murder.
One is playing a long game. But which one?

Sounds delicious, right? So far, I haven’t discovered any other new releases for today, but I’m loving Look for Me, by Lisa Gardner, which I downloaded last week; a book with multiple POVs, including the voice of D. D. Warren and Flora Dane (who was a missing girl in a previous book).

Next I plan to start reading Blood Sisters, by Jane Corry.
From the bestselling author of My Husband’s Wife (click for my review), a new thriller featuring three girls, one accident, and a lifetime of lies.

Today will be a bookish one…I may not even go out at all. Unless the mood takes me. What do you plan for today? Reading? Adventures?

I just read Elizabeth’s review for the new Laura Lippman, sounds very dark and your kind of read. Today is a bit yucky weather wise here but I might get a lawn mowed if all the stars align and I have some friends over this evening for craft night. My excuse for a shop bought supper is we have been warned the power could be off today as they are working on the lines!
