As usual, July is absolutely chock-full of excellent options for every flavor of summer read you can imagine. Here are a few to get the ball rolling...
The Other Woman, by Daniel Silva. Silva's protagonist, fan-favorite art restorer and occasional Israeli secret agent Gabriel Allon is back to unravel a new conspiracy. Lured into the hunt for a traitor after his contact deep within the Russian intelligence network is brutally assassinated while trying to defect, Gabriel will work his way to the truth, back through time, to the greatest act of treason in the twentieth century. Silva's work is hugely popular, and if you're a reader in search of lightning-fast reads full of intrigue, this is for you.
A Gathering of Secrets, by Linda Castillo. Tenth in Castillo's popular Kate Burkholder suspense series (following 2017's Down a Dark Road) follows Chief of Police Burkholder and her small force as they work a case of deadly arson--an Amish barn was burned to the ground...with Daniel Gingerich inside. It wasn't an accident, and Daniel wasn't the sweet guy he appeared to be, either. When his death is ruled a murder, the list of possible suspects begins to grow exponentially.
Rescued, by David Rosenfelt. Sardonic defense lawyer Andy Carpenter and dog-rescuer would rather spend time working for the Tara Foundation, his dog rescue, and helping a truck-load of dogs find their forever homes instead of stepping back into the courtroom again. He's more reluctant still when the man accused of murdering the truck's driver needs Andy to defend him--the man is Andy's wife's ex-fiance. Twisted from the word go, this case may be Andy's hardest yet.
Paradox, by Catherine Coulter. Coulter's 22nd FBI thriller (after 2017's Enigma) finds Chief Ty Christie of Willicott, Maryland out on her porch one morning, overlooking the lake, only to find herself witness to a murder. When the lake is dragged, not only is the victim's body found, but also dozens of skeletons. Working with FBI couple Savich and Sherlock, Christie discovers a chilling connection between the bones and an escaped psychopath. If your ideal summer read is one to send shivers down your spine, add this to your list.
