Fall Thrillers
Fall is my favourite season. Aside from beautiful foliage, it is also the biggest publishing season. After Labour Day publishers release their biggest, flashiest and most important titles. There are so many releases, it is impossible to keep up. This is a small selection of the mystery, crime and suspense novels that are coming out in the next few months.
Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny
Inspector Armand Ganache haunted by mistakes he has made, is nursing his wounds in the library of the Quebec City Literary and Historical Society. When a murder occurs at the library exposing a mystery that has been hidden for centuries, he is compelled to investigate.
Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin
An unlikely friendship between two boys with diverse backgrounds develops in 1970s Mississippi but is later torn apart by suspicion when a local girl disappears.
Fatal Error by F. Paul Wilson
The Re
pairman Jack series is a blend of horror and mystery with a dollop of science fiction for good measure. Jack is a fixer, solving problems others cannot. He is more concerned with justice than with the law, and often uses creative, though not necessarily legal, methods. Although he takes normal cases, his work often pits him against supernatural forces, as in this book when he tries to prevent the end of the world.
Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane
Lehane finally returns to his terrific series featuring Boston private eyes, Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. I can’t wait for this one. Although I love all of Lehane’s books, I’ve really missed these plucky detectives. It will be released on December 6.
Sleepwalkers by Paul Grossman
German police detective and war hero Willi Krauss is called upon to investigate when a surgically mutilated girl is found floating in the Havel River. Set in the final weeks of the Weimar Republic, the Jewish Krauss finds his task complicated by the political turmoil around him.
This debut novel is getting rave reviews.
