Best new book I've read is Melanie Forde's Decanted Truths. And it's only the first week of January.
I read galleys of The Au Pair & The Hunting Party last year & quite enjoyed & recommend them! I had some of these on my list & have added a couple more. I look forward to Paula Hawkins newest but I felt her last was a bit of a letdown. I've no more time to expend on Ruth Ware's novels as I've found them middling & disappointing, so no TBR danger there.
Looking forward to Ruth Ware's "Turn of the Key"....Loved her last book! And Paula Hawkins "untitled"!! I am now retired and have the luxury of reading as much as I want which is usually a book a week so......I want to read them ALL!!
I'm on pins and needles waiting for the sequel to Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney.
I added a few of these to my ever growing tbr mountain.
Looks like 2019 will be a great reading year!

The Girl Before You by Nicola Raynor sounds promising.
Silver & Salt by Elanor Dymott, I look forward to reading.

Unfortunately, it's usually a couple of years between her books. =(

Absolutely agree! I cannot wait either!

I am currently reading An Anonymous Girl. Most looking forward to the new Riley Sager, Fiona Barton and C.J. Tudor. Also have heard really good things about The Silent Patient.
Don't forget 'Metropolis' by Philip Kerr, due out in April. It is Mr. Kerr's final book (completed just before his death last year), and gives us the origin story of his series protagonist Bernie Gunther.

I am very much looking forward to this book, though bittersweet at the prospect of having no more Bernie Gunther books.

Wendy, I agree - the Scandinavian writers are out doing our "regular" mystery writers.
