I think a lot of you guys that listen to this podcast probably also follow Gary and I on Instagram. So you may have seen his post that he is taking a break from books to Graham and books in general just to look at some health stuff that he just found out about. So if you want more information on that, I'm going to tell you to just go read his post, since that has most of the information, but for this week, you guys are going to hear my very hard to narrow down list of books that I am super excited for this spring. And because I have to explain my parameters, as you probably know by this point, I basically consider spring March, April, and May. So I don't know of June is technically considered spring, but to me it feels like summer. And I feel like winter is like

December, January, February to me. So when I was putting together my list of spring thrillers that I'm excited to read, those were the ones that I was looking at, March, April and May. So we're looking at with this list. And there were so many. Like I knew I definitely had enough to talk about when I was thinking about this subject, but then when I actually went into my good reads and was looking at my to read shelf, also, if you're ever in a random situation like I am with a podcast, where I'm trying to come up with books that are coming out in a certain time period, you can, you can basically sort your shelf by pub date. And then you just see everything in order based on the publication date so that made it a lot easier for me every time i do subjects like this

so little fun good reads fact for you if you didn't know that at this point and if you ever need it in the future but when i went into my two read on good reads and was like scrolling through spring 2024 i was like how am i even going to narrow this down um so there are also more than 10 thrillers that I'm super excited for this spring and it's making me realize that I'm going to have a lot of reading to do, which is like one of the best feelings, honestly. So I'm very okay with it. But for the record, there are other ones that I'm also excited for. And I think I kind of made the decision based off of like having a little bit of a variety of different types of thrillers. I mean, thrillers are thrillers. We all know that I struggle to really actually get out of the thriller genre.

But I think you'll see what I mean as we get into it. Like there's some that are a little more actiony. There are some that are a little more sci-fi. But I'm just excited for so many this spring. I did have an icebreaker for this week. And I'm thinking that I'll just kind of pose it to you guys as the listeners. so I would love to hear your thoughts on this one. I was, what was it that made me think of this? Actually, it was that I read multiple books in a row that were third person POV. And don't get me wrong, there are so many books that I have loved that are in third person POV. But what I was realizing is sometimes at the beginning of those books, it's a lot harder for me.

to like get into them. So like when it's first person and it's like I, you're like really, really in their head really specifically, I feel like I get more into their world faster. And so it's making me realize I kind of have a preference for that. Now there are so many books that I've read that I still really, really enjoy that are in third POV. So like it's not like it ruins a book for me at all. But when I had like multiple in a row, and it was after I'd like DNFs one as well, and I started the next one. And I was like, damn it, this one's third person POV as well. I ended up loving it. So, and this one actually comes out in the summer. So I'll just like briefly talk about it. But it was kill for me, kill for you by Steve Kavanaugh, which comes out

July 20th. So it's very much a summer release. But his was third piece. POV and I very much enjoyed the plot and the wildness of kill for me, kill for you. It is like a completely unique take on the strangers on the train strangers on a train concept. And since I have 10 other synopsies and books to talk about, I won't totally go into that one. but if you are into like revenge and two people meeting up who both want revenge really badly against some people in their lives who have done things that are worth murdering them for definitely check that one out add it to your TBR it was wild like the plot is absolutely unhinged and crazy and it is just a really dark bloody

crazy take on strangers on a train very much has its own plot there's a lot that um veers off of that like i hate to call it trope because it's like a whole book but the strangers on a train concept it very much like goes in its own direction as well so there's my little blurb about that one but that one is also in third person p o b i didn't end up loving it but if i was the choice, I prefer to be completely in the character's heads. Even if it switches like whose POV we're in in the books, I kind of prefer to be in that like I perspective. And I'm definitely interested what the rest of you think. So DM your thoughts. If you're listening on Spotify, you can actually answer the question underneath the episode. So let me know about that

one. The other thing I've been thinking about, because I've just been thinking about ways to improve the show, make it more fun for everyone who's a listener, like all of that. And something that's really been growing lately is like communities that aren't necessarily like a Facebook group or something like that. And I'm wondering if any of you are interested in like a Discord server. I don't know if you've heard of Discord, but it's kind of like a forum and a chat room, but it's like everyone in the forum slash chat room slash server is all interested in a certain topic. And since a lot of us read a lot of the same things or follow a lot of the same news and maybe would enjoy having conversations with other people throughout the week as well,

about kind of bookstagram related things, thriller related things. I was wondering what the interest level was in like maybe a Killing the T discord, something like that. So definitely let me know your thoughts. I've been wondering if that would be something fun to kind of develop. So yeah, I keep saying let me know your thoughts, but I do mean it. If anyone is interested in that, definitely let me know. So with all of that out of the way now, we can dive into the 10 thrillers that I've picked that I am so excited to read this spring.

My first one is by Miss Kelly Garrett, who I read her book, Like a Sister, and was totally obsessed with it, really loved it. And so I'm very excited for her next thriller that comes out on April 30th, and it's called Missing White Woman. The truth is never skin deep. It was supposed to be a romantic getaway weekend in New York City. Brianna's new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything. The train tickets, the dinner reservations, the rented four-store luxury row house and Jersey City

with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. But when Brie comes downstairs, their final morning, she's shocked. There's a stranger laying dead in the foyer, and Ty is nowhere to be found. A black woman alone in a new, city, Brie is stranded and out of her depth, especially when it becomes clear that the woman is none other than Janelle Beckett, the missing woman the entire internet, has become obsessed with. There's only one person Brie can turn to, her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she

shares a very complicated past. As the police and a social media mob close in, all looking for hashtag justice for Janelle, Brie realizes the only way she can help Ty or herself is to figure out what really happened that last night. But when people only see what they want to see, can she uncover the truth that's hiding in plain sight? This one has so many of my favorite things going on. I think it's always interesting when people include kind of like the way the internet gets true crime obsessed with certain cases. So even this hashtag justice for Janelle sounds very fascinating to me. Also, the idea of being like in a new city. and you're like, what just happened?

How am I going to figure this out? Very thrilling with that kind of thing happening in the book. And like a sister, was just so much fun. And the pacing was so fun. And her voice as a writer was so fun. So I am super excited to dive into this one as well. And it's also kind of giving me vibes of almost Shirley Dead by Omina Oktar that you've all heard me talk about here in the last couple of months

with the whole missing persons, internet's reaction to it all. And the cover is gorgeous and has actually a lot of the same colors as almost surely dead. So it's definitely giving me some vibes to that book as well in terms of a comp. And I'm just really excited to read it. The next one that I'm very excited for. It's also from an author whose books I've read before. And that is A Lovely Lie by Jamie Lynn Hendricks, who you know we love here on the podcast. It comes out on May 28th. And it is about this. Is it better to believe a lovely lie or to know the horrible truth?

1999. The night of their senior picnic, Scarlett Russo, and her best friend Pepper were involved in a car accident that left two of their classmates dead. Afterward, they lied to the police, protecting each other from the consequences. Then Pepper left town, and Scarlett never heard from her again. Now, 22 years later, Scarlett has buried that deadly incident deep in her mind and built a comfortable life for herself, working in a hotel on the west coast of Florida and raising her teenage son with her husband, Vince.

Her peace is disrupted, however, when Pepper's done, daughter shows up with news of Pepper's death. Zoe is 21 and studying to be an investigative journalist. She has a cryptic letter from Pepper addressed to Scarlet that alludes to the events of that fateful night and Pepper's initial intentions to get an abortion. Now Zoe wants answers about her mother's past. Who is Zoe's father and what really happened after that senior picnic? As Zoe continues to dig into the past, all of Scarlett's buried secrets threatened to rise to the surface. If you have not read Jamie Lynn Hendricks before, then I'm here to tell you. She is the queen of just like snappy suspense. Like her chapters are short. They all kind of have that like a little

bit of a cliffhanger vibe to the end of it. Like it's always like, oh, and what does that mean? Like she is just so good at keeping the suspense really high all the way through the book. So I'm always excited for her books. She was one of my very first guests on Between the Lines for her first book Finding Tessa. Actually, we talked about that last week. And I'm just, I'm excited every single year to see what her mind comes up with. And this whole concept of like, it's very common in thrillers, but like someone's past coming back to like haunt them in the present. So fun. But I like this unique twist in the synopsis at least. I have not read it yet, but I do have it on NetGalley, so I'm very excited. This unique twist that, like, the daughter of her friend who is involved in it with her

is the one, like, coming back to her 20 years later, 20-ish years later. I really love that concept, and the fact that the daughter is, like, an investigative journalist, I just feel like the suspense is going to be out of control on this one. So this next one that I'm really excited. for it. I saw one of my favorite authors, Rob Hart, post about this recently. I think he even posted about it when he was on jury duty, which is a very random detail, but it's what stuck in my mind. And he has written some of my favorite, like, sci-fi slash actiony books. Definitely heard me talk about the Paradox Hotel, which is like one of those books that I wish I could, like, completely forget so that I could reread it again without the knowledge of like what happens.

happens in the book. But he posted about this one and it just sounds like everything I love about action thrillers, but also with kind of like playing with time as well. It is called The Man Who Saw Seconds by Alexander Boldazar. It comes out on May 7th. And it is about Preble Jefferson. He can see five seconds into the future. Otherwise, he lives in ordinary. life. But when a confrontation with a cop on a New York City subway goes tragically wrong, those seconds give Preble the chance to dodge a bullet, causing another man to die in his place. Government agencies become aware of Preble's gift. A manhunt ensues, and their ambitions shift from law enforcement to military R&D. Preble will do whatever it takes to protect his family,

but as events spiral out of control, he must weigh the cost of his gift against the loss of his humanity. A breathless thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. The man who saw seconds explores the nature of time, the brain as a prediction machine, and the tension between the individual and the systems that we create. This is an adrenaline-pumping read that will leave you contemplating love, fear, and the abyss. So clearly there's a lot going on in this one. The cover is really, really, really cool. very cool action cover um and i haven't you know what i've been realizing kind of recently as i've been picking my next books to read i haven't been reading as much action or like spy thrillers and

it was kind of just dawning on me that i kind of want to read some more of them more than i have been and then i saw him post about this and i was like well i really want to read that now um have been able to find it on net galley. So if anyone magically knows where this exists as an arc or an e-galley, whatever you want to call it, definitely let me know because this sounds right up my alley. I'm always intrigued by the questions that get brought up in novels that kind of play with time. So this one doesn't sound like it's time travel necessarily, but he can see clearly like five seconds into the future. And as someone who has a mind that works a little bit over time trying to make predictions into the future, that little blurb at the end that says it explores the nature of time and the brain is a prediction machine definitely grabbed my attention.

I always think it's really interesting when stories sometimes help us think about why we predict things the way that we do. I feel like sometimes, then it's also like talking about the kind of control we actually could have over the future. So I am really excited about this one. I would probably read it right now if I had access to it, but it might just be that I get it on May 7th. So in keeping with my theme of stories that really look at our minds and how our thoughts influence things, I am really excited to read, You Know What You Did by KT. Nguyen. It comes out on April 16th

and like one of the little, I don't know if you call it a subtitle on the cover or just kind of like, it's not a blurb, it's not a review, but it says if thoughts could kill, dot, dot, dot. Annie Anley Shaw grew up poor, but seems to have it all now. A dream career, a stunning home, and a devoted husband and daughter. When Annie's mother, a Vietnam War,

refugee dies suddenly one night. Annie's carefully curated life begins to unravel. Her obsessive compulsive disorder, which she thought had vanit, which she thought she'd vanquished years ago, comes roaring back, but this time the disturbing fixations swirling around in Annie's brain might actually be coming true. A prominent art patron disappears and the investigation zeros in on Annie. Spirling with self-doubt, she distances herself from her family and friends, only to wake up in a hotel room, naked next to a lifeless body. The police have more questions, but with her mind increasingly fractured, Annie doesn't have answers. All she knows is this.

She will do anything to protect her daughter, even if it means losing herself. With dizzying twists, you know what you did is both a harrowing thriller and a heartfelt exploration of the refugee experience, the legacies we leave for our children, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers. and daughters. So this one, at least on Goodreads, has, like, so many things in the beginning that are, like, the most anticipated crime fiction of 2024 from crime reads. And, like, spring 2024 mysteries and thrillers in Top Ten Publishers Weekly. There are so many places that have included this in their, like, spring or 2024, like,

look out for this book articles. so I am not alone and how excited I am for this one. And it just, it sounds fascinating and also a little bit terrifying that her spiraling thoughts could have something to do with everything that's happening in this book, in the story, all the stuff that's going on. So I am just, I'm very excited to see how this one plays out. and it is a debut thriller and is getting this much buzz around it, which is always fun. I know we've talked about it on here before.

It's always fun finding some of those debut authors each year that you just absolutely fall in love with, fall in love with, not fall in love in. And the way that then you're excited for their next one. So I am super excited for this one. The cover for this one is very dramatic and cool as well. so definitely go check it out. The next one that I am very excited about comes out on April 16th. It's called While We Were Burning by Sarah Coffee. I'm assuming that's the pronunciation. Her last name is K-O-F-F-I. So I'm hoping that's correct. After her best friend's mysterious death, Elizabeth Smith's picture perfect life in the Memphis

suburbs has spiraled out of control. So much so that she hires a personal assistant to keep her on track. Composed and elegant, Brianna is exactly who she needs. She slides so neatly into Elizabeth's life, it's almost like she belonged there from the start, and proves herself indispensable. Soon, the assistant Elizabeth hired to distract her from her obsession and her friend's death is the same person working with her to uncover the truth behind it. Because Brianna has questions, too. She wants to know why the police killed her young black son, why someone in Elizabeth's neighborhood called the cops on him that day? Who took that first step that stole her child away from her? And the only way she's ever going to be able to find out is to entwine herself deep into Elizabeth's

life or the answers to her questions lie. As the two women hurtle towards an electrifying final showdown and the lines between employee and friend blur, it becomes clear that neither of them is what they first appear. Obviously, it sounds like there are a lot of things going on in this book. but what is super intriguing to me, at least from the synopsis, is kind of that last part that I read about where the deeper we get into the story, the more we realize how neither of them were like kind of who we thought they were at the beginning, which kind of makes me feel like this is going to be one where you're like conflicted about who you're pulling for, which makes me think of like, what am I thinking of? The lies. Oh my gosh. I can't believe that I'm forgetting this,

what this one is. The lies I told? You know how like there are so many books in the thriller genre that are about lies? Yep, the lies I tell by Julie Clark. That is kind of what it's reminding me of. I mean, I don't know that it is that for sure. But, um, kind of like not knowing who to pull from, I feel like is its own tension itself. So like outside of the thrilling aspects of a book, there's also like the tension of like, wow, I'm invested in both characters and maybe they seem at odds. So I will be devouring this one when I get my hands on it. This next one is by an author who I have enjoyed so many of her books and she has so many books.

I don't even remember how many she has. But Megan Miranda has another thriller coming out on April 9th called Daughter of Mine. It's a really short synopsis. When Hazel Sharp, daughter of Mir Lake's longtime local detective, unexpectedly inherits her childhood home, she's rarely drawn back to the town and people. She left behind almost a decade earlier. But Hazel's not the only relic of the past.

A drought has descended on the region, and as the water level in the lake drops, long hidden secrets begin to emerge, including evidence that may help finally explain the mystery of her mother's disappearance. So this sounds like another small town, Megan Miranda thriller, which one of my, I do think my favorite of hers of all time, is all the missing girls, which was like a similar setup in the sense that someone's like drawn back to their small hometown and then secrets come out, which is common in a lot of thrillers, obviously.

But this sounds like it's another one where small town politics are going to be a big part of it. And I feel like she does a really fantastic job of writing thrillers that do have all of the intricacies of small town life. Also, the cover is so cool. I feel like I've said that about so many of them in this episode, but it's just true. It is so eerie looking while still very much looking like a Megamaranah book. Her books are some of those that like they all seem to have like a through line and it might just be the font as I'm looking at it. But I always love that.

I think it's cool when author's books like look pretty similar. Like have things that tie them all together. So it also has the Megamarantha touch to it. But I am super excited. to go to Mirr-Lake with Hazel Shrip. Another author who has just so many books out that I love and is also releasing this spring on April 2nd is Mary Kubica and her book is called She's Not Sorry. An ICU nurse accidentally uncovers a patient's frightening past in this chilling thriller. Megan Michaels is trying to find balance between being a single mom to a teenage daughter and working as a full-time

nurse. While on duty at the hospital one day, a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma with a traumatic brain injury, having jumped from a bridge and plunging over 20 feet to the train tracks below. But when a witness comes forward with shocking details about the fall, it calls everything they know into question. Was Caitlin pushed? And if so, by whom and why? Megan has always tried to stay emotionally detached from her patients, but this time she mistakenly lets herself get too close until she's deeply entangled in Caitlin's and her family's lives. Only when it's too late, does she realize that she and her daughter could be the next victims? This one sounds like it could go, I don't even know officially what direction is going in. Obviously, Caitlin has some or multiple big secrets that

led her to be in the hospital that night. But where my mind goes is like there's so many different reasons that someone would want to like cover something up by attempting to make it look like someone attempted suicide. I'm using attempted a lot. And knowing Mary Kubica and how her storytelling like plays out so often, I'm like, this could go in so many different directions, but it sounds so suspenseful and I mean a little bit scary, not like horror scary, but the line about her and her daughter being in danger as well. I'm just really excited to see where this one goes. So without intending to, I have another author lined up who I have loved one of his previous books.

So we've kind of got three in a row like that. But the last murder at the end of the world by Stuart Turton comes out on March 28th. So that one is coming up here soon. But he also wrote, for a while ago, 2018, the seven and a half, seven and a half deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, which was one that like, first of all, I'm pretty sure it qualified as historical fiction. And I don't always love that. But it was like a looping one where like Evelyn Hardcastle basically keeps dying. but you're like reliving it and finding out different things. I can't even remember which character you're like finding everything out through.

But I remember just like flying through that book. And that was like I've always read quite a bit. But I've obviously started reading even more since joining Bookstagram and just being around even more books. But this was one of those ones where like I happened to see it. I was like, okay, people are really talking about this. I so much enjoyed it. Like, I would almost reread that one as well, I guess is what I'm saying. And it also made me realize, as I was like preparing for this episode, that I need to find more,

I do like, like, time loops and kind of like playing with stuff that way. So if anyone has read Evelyn Hardcastle or just books with time loops in general, that you think that I would love definitely send them my way because I'm realizing that is like a version of the genre that I haven't read much of recently. But that being said, he has a book coming out this year, The Last Murder at the End of the World, solve the murder to save what's left of the world. Outside the island, there is the world destroyed by a fog that sweat the planet, killing anyone it touched. On the island, though, it's idyllic. 122 villagers. and three scientists living in peaceful harmony.

The villagers are content to fish, farm, and feast to obey their nightly curfew to do what they're told by the scientists. Until, to the horror of the islanders, one of their beloved scientists is found brutally stabbed to death, and they learn the murder has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay. If the murder isn't solved within 92 hours, the fog will smother the island and everyone in it. But the security system has also wiped everyone's memories of exactly what happened the night before, which means that someone on the island is a murderer and they don't even know it.

This one, after you just heard me gushing about Evelyn Hardcastle, we have like, wiped memories going on, which is kind of similar with Evelyn Hardcastle. You're like looping each time, trying to figure out where the murder, who murdered, whatever. My dogs are barking if you can't tell, so it's distracting me a little bit. So this one just sounds so intriguing to me. He did such a great job with Evelyn Hardcastle and not making it feel repetitive, even though, as you can tell from the title, you go through kind of the same story and the same event seven times. He still kept it so fresh, what I remember about that. And I feel like this, um, this like plot, this approach to plot is like so unique, which always gives me really excited with thrillers and has like the somewhat dystopian part

of like the outer world is not going to be able to help in this case. And then obviously a very obvious ticking clock, um, baked right into it with the fact that if the murder isn't solved in I need two hours. The whole island is going to mean to be smothered. So I am just so intrigued by everything about this. It feels very fresh and unique for the thriller genre. And I'm really excited to see where he goes with this one. I do have a thriller on my list for serial killer thriller fans. That was quite a sentence. But it is called Don't Turn Around by Harry Dolan. The police call him Mercury. He's a killer who seems to choose his victims at random.

He leaves no evidence behind and no witnesses, except for one. But what did she really see? When Kate Summerlin was 11 years old, she climbed out her bedroom window on a spring night, looking for a taste of freedom in the small college town where she was living with her parents. But what she found as she wandered in the woods near her house was the body of a beautiful young woman, the first of Mercury's victims. And before she could come to grips with what she was seeing, she heard a voice behind her, the killer's voice, don't turn around. Now, at the age of 29,

Kate is a successful true crime writer, but she has never told anyone the truth about what happened on that long ago night. When Mercury claims yet another victim, a college student named Brian Cahill, Kate finds herself drawn back to the town where everything started. She sets out to make sense of this latest crime, but the deeper she gets into the story, the more she comes to realize that it's far from over. Her search for the truth about Mercury is leading her down a dark labyrinth, and if she hopes to escape, she'll have to meet him once again, this time face to face. This one sounds slightly terrifying, which I feel like is the case with some, a lot of serial killer ones, but like just the creepiness of him, like, being behind her when she's 11 years old and

being like, don't turn around. I would be having nightmares about it forever. Actually, you heard me talk with Amina Oktar about my sleepwalking and my strange sleep habits. And that is the one that scares me the most is sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night. And I'm just so sure that there's someone behind me. So that's probably what this is tapping into. But this one sounds like there are a lot of things going on, possibly in different timelines, but obviously like stuff from her when she was 11 is going to matter for when she's 29. And I feel like it's a fun inclusion that she's a true crime writer who has never talked about basically her experience with a criminal. So it just sounds like it has a lot of fun, fun.

thriller things going on. This last one is another one where I'm, like, so obsessed with the one other book I've read from this author. And it is When I'm Her by Sarah Zachrich Jen. I read The Other Me by her in 2021. And it's actually another thriller that plays with time where, like, basically the main character walks through a door into basically a completely different life. And all of a sudden she has like 12 years of memories that aren't her own. And it was just, when I say I live sci-fi thrillers, that one is such a good example of the vibe that I enjoy in sci-fi thrillers. But her thriller that comes out on March 26th of this year is when I'm her. Though polar opposites, Mary and Elizabeth are as close as they can be.

Until the night, Elizabeth makes an irrevocable mistake and leaves Mary. to take the blame. Years later, Elizabeth seems to have forgotten that Mary exists, but Mary hasn't forgotten her. She follows Elizabeth's every move online, obsessed with paying her back for the betrayal that cost Mary her dreams. Now Mary has found a way to switch bodies with Elizabeth, and she's got a plan to steal her charmed life, her career, her looks, and her husband. They do say that living well is the best revenge. Or is it? The more Mary uncoveres about Elizabeth's life, the more she realizes she may have made a deadly mistake, and she'll need the help of her worst enemy to stay alive.

This is, like, one of the ones that I am saddest that I got declined for on that galley, like, obviously, it just happens sometimes for all kinds of reasons, but, like, I am so, I am, like, almost criminally excited for this one. It has some of my very favorite things in it. We have a revenge, revenge, whatever, plot line kind of happening here. We also, from the gist of it, it's kind of similar to what I was talking about, where you kind of don't know who you're pulling for. And so like, you think you know, like, oh, this person's perspective is correct. And then you're like, oh, maybe this person's

perspective is correct. So it has that going for it. And then obviously it's like, what does she find out when she kind of like takes over her life that is so deadly and then forces her to have to like actually get the help of the woman whose life she tried to take over. I just feel like there's so many fun things at stake. And I feel like body switching typically kind of leans you a little bit into the sci-fi category. So again, this feels like everything I love about like my favorite kinds of like sci-fi thrillers. So if I've learned anything from compiling this list and rereading about all of these books that I've been looking forward to, it's that I am going to need a lot of reading time in March, April, and May. Then I already know there are tons in like June, July,

August that I'm excited for too. But I definitely am going to be reading a ton this spring. and I'm definitely interested in any of the books that you guys are excited for this ring that I didn't include in this list. So definitely DM me if you have some of your own recommendations.
