There's so much great fiction being published next month, I'm going to have to work hard to fit all the reviews into January! Ready to see what's on the horizon?
Never Tell, by Lisa Gardner. Sgt. Detective D.D. Warren and victim advocate Flora Dane are back working together on a third case(following 2018's Look For Me), and they have a sense of deja vu when Conrad Carter is shot dead...and his wife Evie is found holding the gun. D.D. is familiar with Evie from an investigation 16 years earlier, when Evie's father was found dead in a shooting death that was ruled an accident. But two accidental shootings is too much of a coincidence for D.D. And Flora is familiar with Conrad from her time as a hostage--her captor knew Conrad. Each determined to find the truth, D.D. and Flora begin to strip away lies and half-truths, making them wonder: just how many secrets can one family have? Also available in Large Print.
The Lost Man, by Jane Harper. Harper, author of The Dry and Force of Nature, brings readers a new standalone novel set in the furthest reaches of the Australian outback. Two brothers, Nathan and Bub, meet at the fence-line that divides their two ranches--their third brother, Cameron, lies dead at their feet. In this lonely part of the outback, the brothers were one another's nearest neighbors, a three-hour's drive apart, with Cameron running the family homestead. But as the family grieves, they also begin to suspect one another--the isolation makes for a short suspect list. What might have driven one of their own to such an end?
The Girl in the Glass Box, by James Grippando. Julia Rodriguez and her teenage daughter have fled El Salvador for Miami, escaping violence both gang-related and domestic. They're hoping for a fresh start, but an anonymous tip leaves Julia awaiting deportation. Attorney Jack Swyteck battles her case for asylum, to reunite her with her daughter, and to help her escape her abusive husband one and for all. Also available in Large Print.
Mission Critical, by Mark Greaney. Eighth in Greaney's popular Gray Man series following 2018's Agent in Place, Mission Critical finds Court Gentry's place on a CIA transport plane compromised when a hooded prisoner is escorted on board. CIA headquarters intervenes on Gentry's behalf and the transport heads for the UK, where the prisoner will be interrogated jointly by a team comprised of CIA and MI6 members. Upon landing, however, they are attacked by hostile forces who kidnap the prisoner and only Gentry escapes. His handlers send him after the attackers. One man against an elite force? If that man is the Gray Man, anything is possible.
