Friday seems like a good day to share some of the top picks I’ve added to my rapidly growing TBR pile. I’ve come across so many books I want to read this week from other’s blogs, Twitter and Instagram that it’s hard to narrow them down to just a few for this post! I’ve included the Goodreads Blurb so you can see if you’d like to add any to your own TBR list.

Fiona Davis’s stunning debut novel pulls readers into the lush world of New York City’s glamorous Barbizon Hotel for Women, where a generation of aspiring models, secretaries, and editors lived side-by-side while attempting to claw their way to fairy-tale success in the 1950s, and where a present-day journalist becomes consumed with uncovering a dark secret buried deep within the Barbizon’s glitzy past.
Life is strange for Patrick Fort; being a medical student with Asperger’s Syndrome doesn’t come without its challenges–and that’s before he is faced with solving a possible murder. Because the body Patrick is examining in anatomy class is trying to tell him all kinds of things. And now he must stay out of danger long enough to unravel the mystery–while he dissects his own evidence

For fans of Jo Nesbo and The Bridge, The Ice Beneath Her is a gripping and deeply disturbing story about love, betrayal and obsession that is impossible to put down. Fast-paced and peopled with compelling characters, it surprises at every turn as it hurtles towards an unforgettable ending with a twist you really won’t see coming . . .
A brutal triple murder in a remote northwestern crofting community in 1869 leads to the arrest of a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae. There’s no question that Macrae is guilty, but the police and courts must uncover what drove him to murder the local village constable.
And who were the other two victims? Ultimately, Macrae’s fate hinges on one key question: is he insane?
I’d love to hear from you if you’ve already read any, feel free to let me know what you thought in my comments. Happy Reading!
I really enjoyed Rubbernecker – I hope you do to.

I hadn’t even thought of that but you’re right! And I do love hotels and books with a lot of gray in the covers apparently! We also seem to have similar tastes in books:)

Thanks! I’m really curious about this one as well as His Bloody Project which I might’ve passed by due to the title if I hadn’t read reviews by other bloggers

The Dollhouse sounds great – I love books set in that period in New York. Suzanne Rindell’s Three-Martini Lunch was a brilliant read set in the publishing industry at that time. And so glad to see Rubbernecker on your list – hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
