Today I’m participating in Sam’s WWW Wednesdays. Here’s how it works:
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next, and/or what are you eagerly awaiting?
***
Current Read:
I am reading Flight Patterns, by Karen White, after putting it off for a couple of months. Now I wonder why I waited. I am enjoying it, as the underlying dysfunction and secrets are very slowly meted out, and while I might guess, I am sure I’ll be surprised.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Sound of Glass and coauthor of The Forgotten Room tells the story of a woman coming home to the family she left behind—and to the woman she always wanted to be…
***
JUST FINISHED:
The Orphan Choir, by Sophie Hannah, (click for my review), is a disturbing story of what happens when one woman desperately misses her seven-year-old son, Joseph, who is a boarder at Saviour College, run by a Dr. Freeman. The story is a mix of madness, despair, and ghostly warnings. Even as I kept imagining one scenario, another would appear. I thought I would discover that the husband and Dr. Freeman were playing cruel tricks on Louise. But I was wrong.
***
EAGERLY ANTICIPATING:
As a fan of Jayne Ann Krentz, I was excited to learn of her upcoming release, When All the Girls Have Gone, coming on November 29, 2016. I requested it from NetGalley, and fingers crossed, I should receive it in the near future.
When Charlotte Sawyer is unable to contact her step-sister, Jocelyn, to tell her that one her closest friends was found dead, she discovers that Jocelyn has vanished.
Beautiful, brilliant—and reckless—Jocelyn has gone off the grid before, but never like this. In a desperate effort to find her, Charlotte joins forces with Max Cutler, a struggling PI who recently moved to Seattle after his previous career as a criminal profiler went down in flames—literally. Burned out, divorced and almost broke, Max needs the job.
After surviving a near-fatal attack, Charlotte and Max turn to Jocelyn’s closest friends, women in a Seattle-based online investment club, for answers. But what they find is chilling…
When her uneasy alliance with Max turns into a full-blown affair, Charlotte has no choice but to trust him with her life. For the shadows of Jocelyn’s past are threatening to consume her—and anyone else who gets in their way…

What are you reading and anticipating? Come on by and let’s chat.

I do need to read The Orphan Choir as I think Sophie Hannah is a brilliant writer although I do need to have all my wits about me for her books as she is so inventive – this one sounds like it’s no different in that respect.

Oh, yes, I’m a fan of Sophie Hannah, and enjoyed this one, even though it was quite different from the usual thrillers she writes. Hope you enjoy it, Cleo.

I love Jayne Ann Krentz’s older books, but didn’t know she had any new releases. When All The Girls Have Gone sounds interesting. 🙂

Yes, it was sad, Claire, and throughout the read, I was worried about what was happening to the MC. Flight Patterns is also sad, but there are lighter moments, too. And the secrets keep me tuned in.

Her romantic suspense books remind me of Nora Roberts’ books of that genre. Definitely page turners. Thanks for visiting, Clare, and enjoy your week.

The book reeled me in page by page. At first, everything the MC shared seemed perfectly normal, and then, by the time I realized she wasn’t, I was rooting for her. So it worked. LOL. Thanks for stopping by, Hayley.

I’m so happy you’re reading Flight Patterns! I hope you love it as much as I. I saw a Jane Krentz book on someone’s blog the other day, and they were loving it. I’ve never read Krentz but would like to try one of her book in the future.

Oh, you would probably enjoy her books, Kathy….and I’m loving Flight Patterns, too. I knew I would, as I’m a fan of Karen White, but maybe the whole “bee” thing had me wondering. I’m very engaged with it, although I’m not getting through it as fast as I should. Too many distractions. But I’m always happy to come back to it.

There have been very few times I’ve actually predicted and figured out exactly what the truth is with mysteries like these. Usually I’m a little stunned when I reach the end.
