(CLICK EACH TITLE FOR LINKS TO ADD / CHECKOUT ON GOODREADS!)
This Tuesday's Mystery / Thriller choices are slightly more serious than whimsical in selection this week. Sometimes it's nice to just be drawn in and left turning each page with your heart racing to find out what's next! Let's dive into the why's here...
Lady X is about Margot Cooper, a wife to a A-list star who upon discovering her husband has sent scandalous photos to multiple women on social media...This leads her to retreat with her daughter to the home she was brought up in. Now away from all the spotlight and sordid allegations she steps right into her own when she finds a box in the old house's attic. It's here that she discovers evidence of articles linking her family history and her mother to Lady X. Lady X was a movement of avenging women against awful men who take their revenge in that name. The crimes are now coming to light, and Lady X disappeared...sounds like a complexly woven story that's going to jump around the times and be a cool thriller-vendetta plot. I instantly loved the title, the premise is really fun, and I like a well-done contemporary-historical twist. Definitely can't wait to read it!
The Intrigue - Another title with a fun name, and a historical leap! Its setting takes place is 1940's Mexico which is awesome, and it's about an attractive con man named Ulises who marks and steals money from lonely women; however, he gets more than he's bargained for...Perla owns a boarding house and also has a witty & cunning niece who wants in on the mark, the problem is he might've met his match, and the deal threatens to ruin his one real connection with someone should everything go to plan...This is sure to be winding thriller of deceit and love and I'm all about that aspect! Excited for it, most definitely. TBR now!
Three Reasons for Revenge sounds every bit the murder mystery plot I want to sit with bundled in a fancy arm-chair along with a hot mug of green tea. Here's the plot as shared on Goodreads -
Alexis Turner walks into the police station to report an assault. By the end of the day, she is nowhere to be found.
Soon after she disappears, three identical packages arrive at three very different a respected psychologist's home, a socialite's mansion, and a struggling single father's run-down apartment. Inside, each gift is perfectly tailored to its recipient - and each will tear apart the life of its intended victim.
YES, this book sounds like it's going to be a long night of reading, and yes I want it now! I only needed one reason for revenge, but it gives three. Count me in! ☺
Last but not least I picked the title You Had Me at Bigfoot, Guys, the first three are true to tell thrillers, this was purely impulsively selected for its fun who-dun-it plot. Who doesn't love folklore in a fictional mystery thriller?! 👻 The synopsis preaches lies, legends, and lost fortunes so let's get on board for that cause. The main characters are a rookie investigative journalist named Daphne and an award-winning war-photographer named Clark whose pictures don't lie. Together they team up on assignment like Scully and Mulder to partake in a high-society wedding where a maid is missing and they are tasked with solving the mystery and deciphering the truth from the lies. Sounds like a perfect read for the undecided reader, and it's a series. This is book one, so it's the start of something good and thrilling!
