The Banker’s Wife by Cristina Alger is an international thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. It’s a must-read!
Charlotte Walsh Likes To Win by Jo Piazza is indeed a winner! This one is a timely page-turner about a woman’s journey as she runs for Senate. There’s comedy, heartache and some inspiration too. I loved it.
The Masterpiece by Fiona Davis is a beautifully written novel about two women striving to make their mark on the world. This historical fiction novel is set in the Grand Central Terminal in New York City in both the ’20s and ’70s.
Less by Andrew Sean Greer is an absolute delight. One of my favorite books of this year. It’s a must-read!
If a novel composed entirely of letters has you feeling skeptical, you’re not alone. When I found out The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a novel that only features communication via letters, I had my doubts. But I decided to give it a shot and I’m so glad I did.
Girls’ Night Out by Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke is a twisty thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page. It will also make you want to give a hug to your best friends.
The Lost Vintage by Ann Mah is a moving and rich story about family secrets and lost love set in the vineyards of Burgundy. If you enjoy mysteries, historical fiction, wine, French culture with a love story mixed in, you’ll love this one. I sure did.
So Much Life Left Over by Louis de Bernières is a sweeping novel about life after war. There’s love, affairs, colonialism, deaths and much more. It’s one not to miss, especially for historical fiction lovers.
The Summer List by Amy Mason Doan is a moving story about childhood friends reuniting. It will make you want to give a hug to your high school besties.
Still Lives by Maria Hummel is a look at the LA art world with a mystery thrown in. The story as a whole is unique and the setting (2003 LA) makes it stand out. But it’s not as thrilling as I expected.
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn is historical fiction novel that is full of adventure and intrigue.
All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin is a very well-written, timely novel. This is a must-read.
The Ensemble by Aja Gabel is a stirring debut about four friends navigating careers, love and ambition. Set in the classical music world, this one stands out for the classic music setting alone. But it’s not just about music.
