JHB North - April 24

A week-long grief retreat on a
beautiful country estate. A raging
storm (there’s always a storm, isn’t
there!). A missing guest. Many
secrets. And a murderer. The Grief
House by Rebecca Thorne may
well be the most chilling book you
read this year. Bloomsbury
A group of friends reunite for
a remote glamping holiday ...
a relaxing long weekend. But
before the weekend’s over, the
20-year-long friendships start to
crumble, there’s a storm (obvs),
and one of the party is missing.
No phone signal, no help, and
a dead body. Twists, turns and
chilling tension ... Hannah Richell’s
The Search Party will keep you
guessing. Simon and Schuster UK
In this Michael Bennett thriller, a serial
killer sniper is taking out impossible
targets - all apparently unrelated - in
New York. The profile ... great with a
gun, probably ex-military. Which
perfectly describes Bennett’s new
partner - who’s quiet and secretive
and often suspiciously absent from
duty. Cross Hairs by James Patterson
and James O’Born ... a really terrific
read. Penguin
A collage girl looking for a new start,
away from her small town, her family,
and the memories of her dead best
friend, moves into a shared house
with a trio of new friends. All’s well -
even if one is a little strange ... until
one of them disappears, and a boy
in the frat house next door is found
dead. Only If You’re Lucky by Stacy
Willingham ... great plot and sinister
read. HarperCollins UK
And the chic lit option ... What if you
could skip the boring parts. The dating.
The lazy flatmates. The climbing up
the work ladder. Skipping straight
to married, two perfect children,
a high-powered job. When this
happens to 26-year-old (now suddenly
40-something) Lucy, she discovers
that along with the good parts, there
are surprises too. Sophie Cousens’
The Good Part. Hodder and Stoughton
