I can't get away from reading mystery novels. For the first books of the year, I have chosen, or rather, these book have fallen into my hands - from the library and from my TBR pile.

The Girl Who Lived Twice, #6 in the Millennium series first created by Stieg Larsson, 2019, library book |

| Death in Kew Gardens |
 |
| The House of Brides |
The House of Brides, a first novel by Jane Cockram, October 22, 2019, Harper
Genre: psychological suspense. Book from my shelves
A young woman flees to a family estate in England, but finds not safety, but only danger, there.
Careful What You Wish For by Hallie Ephron, August 2019, William Morrow, library book
I chose this book because of the main character - a professional organizer who helps people declutter. An unusual plot with great possibilities for a mystery. Seems like Emily Harlow not only has her clients to deal with, but a hoarding husband as well...
I plan to read non-mystery novels as well in 2020 and have a few on my list already, thanks to suggestions from fellow readers. What are your first reads this year? |

House of Brides is on my list as well. Happy New Year Harvee.
ReplyDeleteI love a good mystery. I hope you enjoy Death at Kew Gardens. I really enjoy Ashley's Kat Holloway series. My first book of the year is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I am about half way through now and really enjoying it. I hope you have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAll of these books sound intriguing. Mysteries keep you turning pages, don't they? If they don't, they often go unread. And there seem to be so many good mysteries lately.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a mystery of a sort that I would definitely recommend. It's called Three Things About Elsie.
Have a wonderful week!
I definitely need a professional organizer here so the Ephron book looks good!
ReplyDeleteI love all kinds of mysteries. I've read a couple of Ephron books in the past and enjoyed. I also read the first in the Kat Holloway series. Enjoy your reading this week..
ReplyDeleteI love reading mysteries and thrillers, and I started out my year with two of them.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Careful What You Wish For. I liked the organizing aspect, and I am also a fan of the author.
Enjoy your week.
I liked Careful What You Wish For more than House of Brides, I hope you enjoy them both.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
Haven't read many mysteries lately, but these look good. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI took a break from mysteries, suspense/thrillers for a few months and am getting back into them. Have started my first book, but not making progress as we are watching series instead. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteMy first book finished was The Great Brain Robbery by P.G. Bell. My first 2020 release was World's Worst Parrot by Alice Kuipers. My weekly update
ReplyDeleteCareful What You Wish For sounds very intriguing to me. I love characters with quirky jobs ;)
ReplyDeleteMy first read was a cozy mystery, Wonton Terror. I should really pick up a non-mystery soon.
