January is full of new thrillers ready for readers!
The Whispering Room, by Dean Koontz. This is one of those instances where I ordered copies for the library months ago, and it was originally slated for release in January. And then they bumped it up to November! So Koontz fans, please stop in and grab a copy, as it's available now! This is the second in Koontz's new series featuring Jane Hawk, following The Silent Corner (there's a third in the series coming this spring, just a heads-up!). A shocking act of carnage, performed by the most beloved and mild-mannered teacher one could imagine. As Jane investigates the teacher's personal life for clues, and what looks like the secret journal chronicling an insane woman's innermost thoughts puts Jane on the hunt for the secret cabal responsible.
City of Endless Night, by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. Book 16 in this writing team's much beloved and best-selling series featuring FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast (following 2016's Obsidian Chamber, which I happen to be reading now) finds Pendergast reunited with Lieutenant CDS Vincent D'Agosta on a case with diabolical undertones. Grace Ozmian, reckless daughter of a tech billionaire, is found dead...and missing her head. Something unique to NYC has attracted the evil eye of this killer, and he has only just begun. With the city teetering on the brink of hysteria, it's up to this duo to find the killer...before he finds them. Also available in Large Print.
Into the Black Nowhere, by Meg Gardiner. Sequel to her UNSUB series debut of 2017, Into the Black Nowhere follows FBI rookie Caitlin Hendrix, newly assigned to the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit, tracking a serial killer outside of Austin, TX. It starts with a woman found in the woods, in a white nightgown and positioned in a Sleeping Beauty pose. Then they find another woman, and Caitlin's profile narrows their manhunt to a charismatic, successful professional who easily gains people's trust. But he escapes the police, and now Caitlin and the team must catch him before he can kill again.
