|| What’s On My NetGalley Shelf? | Thrillers ||

So, as you may know I’ve been exploring new genres such as sci-fi and fantasy, as much as I’ve been loving it I do really miss my crime and thrillers! So I thought I would head over to my NetGalley shelf to see what I have left piling up.

I’ve picked 6 to share with you, I will be honest there’s over 20 on my NetGalley shelf so I need to get on top of them.
Let’s go…

Black Summer (Washington Poe #2) by M.W. Craven

Publish Date: 20th June 2019

After The Puppet Show, a new storm is coming . . .
Jared Keaton, chef to the stars. Charming. Charismatic. Psychopath . . . He’s currently serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of his daughter, Elizabeth. Her body was never found and Keaton was convicted largely on the testimony of Detective Sergeant Washington Poe.
So when a young woman staggers into a remote police station with irrefutable evidence that she is Elizabeth Keaton, Poe finds himself on the wrong end of an investigation, one that could cost him much more than his career.
Helped by the only person he trusts, the brilliant but socially awkward Tilly Bradshaw, Poe races to answer the only question that matters: how can someone be both dead and alive at the same time?
And then Elizabeth goes missing again – and all paths of investigation lead back to Poe. – Goodreads –

I absolutely loved The Puppet Show which is the first instalment of this series, I did start this, however after the first few chapters I put it down and I just haven’t picked it back up yet.

Gretchen by Shannon Kirk

Publish Date: 23rd July 2019

The new tenants have a terrible secret. So do the landlord and his daughter…
Ever since Lucy was two, she’s been on the run alongside her mother. She’s never understood the reason for a lifetime of paranoia, aliases, and lies. All she understands are the rules: never lock eyes with strangers, never let down your guard, and always be ready to move on.
Finally, after thirteen years and eleven states, their next hideaway seems perfect. An isolated, fortresslike place in the New Hampshire woods is the new home they share with its owner, a gentlemanly pianist, and his lonely daughter, Gretchen. She’s Lucy’s age and soon becomes Lucy’s first real friend.
But Gretchen and her father have secrets of their own—and an obsession with puzzles that draws Lucy into a terrifying new game of hide-and-seek. Lucy’s dark past is about to come calling. And this time, for her and her mother in the house on the hill, it might be too late to run. – Goodreads –

I don’t know anything about this book, I just saw this on Crime By The Book’s Instagram post and knew that I just had to add it to my TBR.

I’ve seen this book everywhere recently, it is being sold as similar to He Said / She Said, I reviewed that as soon as it came out and really enjoyed it. As you may know I studied Criminal Justice at uni so I’m always super interested interested in courtroom/crime thrillers.

The Killer Inside by Cass Green

Publish Date: 5th September 2019

You love me. But do you really know me?
A perfect childhood

A perfect liar
One summer afternoon, it all begins to unravel. Because I’m not the only one with terrible secrets to hide.
And when the truth comes out, it seems we both have blood on our hands… – Goodreads –

I’ve absolutely no idea about this book, I was emailed by the published saying that they have invited me to view the title from NetGalley so I didn’t actually request this book. It does sound super gritty though.

Through the Wall by Caroline Corcoran

Lexie’s got the perfect life. And someone else wants it…
Lexie loves her home. She feels safe and secure in it – and loved, thanks to her boyfriend Tom.
But recently, something’s not been quite right. A book out of place. A wardrobe door left open. A set of keys going missing…
Tom thinks Lexie’s going mad – but then, he’s away more often than he’s at home nowadays, so he wouldn’t understand.
Because Lexie isn’t losing it. She knows there’s someone out there watching her. And, deep down, she knows there’s nothing she can do to make them stop… – Goodreads –

This sounds like a book which will keep me addicted once I actually get my ass around to reading it!
