The Mad Woman Upstairs, an adventure novel by Catherine Lowell, to be published March 1, 2016 by Touchstone.
"...the only remaining descendant of the Brontë family embarks on a modern-day literary scavenger hunt to find the family's long-rumored secret estate, using clues her eccentric father left behind." (publisher)
Cambodia Noir, thriller/adventure by Nicholas Seeley, to be released March 15, 2016 by Scribner.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia: the end of the line. Lawless, drug-soaked, forgotten—it's where bad journalists go to die. For once-great war photographer Will Keller, that's kind of a mission statement: he spends his days floating from one score to the next, taking any job that pays; his nights are a haze of sex, drugs, booze, and brawling. But Will's spiral toward oblivion is interrupted by Kara Saito, a beautiful young woman who shows up and begs Will to help find her sister, June, who disappeared during a stint as an intern at the local paper (publisher)

When Falcons Fall, the 11th in the Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series by C.S. Harris, to be released March 1, 2016 by NAL.
Ayleswick-on-Teme, 1813. Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, has come to this seemingly peaceful Shropshire village to honor a slain friend and on a quest to learn more about his own ancestry. But when the body of a lovely widow is found on the banks of the River Teme, a bottle of laudanum at her side, the village’s inexperienced new magistrate turns to St. Cyr for help. (publisher)
I've reviewed the 7th in the series, When Maidens Mourn, and look forward to this one.

"... a sweeping comic portrait of privilege, ambition, and friendship in millennial San Francisco." (publisher)

How to Start a Fire by Lisa Lutz, published May 2015 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Genre: women's fiction, contemporary fiction
I have recently finished and reviewed Lutz's most recent novel, a thriller, The Passenger, and am now reading another published last year, How To Start a Fire, a book about three college friends and their lives and relationships after.
I have the fifth in her private investigator Spellman series, Trail of the Spellmans on my TBR list. She is becoming one of my favorite authors.

After reading The Passenger recently, too, I think I'd like to see what you think of How to Start a Fire.

The Madwoman Upstairs sounds like a book I'd really enjoy! I love books about digging into old mysteries. The C.S. Harris looks really good too. That's a series I've really been wanting to start. Have a great read!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some exciting reading. I just put the first in the Sebastian St. Cyr series on my TBR list -- looks like one I'll like!
ReplyDeleteWhat great books this week! Cambodia Noir sounds really good. And I also read Lisa Lutz a long time ago when she was writing those Spellman novels, which I didn't realize right away after hearing all the buzz about The Passenger (which is definitely now on my TBR list!)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Harvee,
ReplyDeleteEach of these sounds eminently readable. I think you are going to have a rich reading week ahead. Enjoy!
Fantastic list of books! I have The Passenger coming up soon on my tbr list.
ReplyDeleteVery tempting books! The Mad Woman Upstairs really grabbed me...I also love the look of Private Citizens. I read and enjoyed How To Start a Fire...which was why I picked up (and loved) The Passenger.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I think I'm going to try The Passenger as I keep hearing good things. The historical fiction series sounds good too... :)
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of The Mad Woman Upstairs. :)
ReplyDeleteENJOY your week.
