#ewgc I know I've mentioned this before, but THE SECRET LIVES OF MURDERERS' WIVES by Elizabeth Arnott, due out in March from @prhlibrary.bsky.social was great. Who better to catch an active serial killer than three wives of convicted serial killers? Nobody.

#ewgc Don't forget these coming out in consecutive months: THE CYCLIST, THE PATIENT, THE POLITICIAN and more by Time Sullivan from @groveatlantic.bsky.social Great series. Start with THE DENTIST.

#ewgc First up for me has to be A FAR-FLUNG LIFE by M.L. Stedman, due out in March from @scribnerbooks.bsky.social @ssedlib.bsky.social Beautiful but haunting. A family epic that makes you feel just about every emotion at some point or another. Absolutely loved it.

#ewgc I am here! Hello from chilly Connecticut. Space heater is blasting and I'm ready to chat!

Haven't recovered from A FAR-FLUNG LIFE, but I soldier on! My #LibraryReadingWed #Booksky for today is THE GALLAGHER PLACE by Julie Doar, out yesterday from #ZibbyPublishing. Debut thriller, #1 for Dec. @libraryreads.bsky.social . Current murder may be connected to a past disappearance. Page turner!

Guilt, shame, stigmatization, lies, love and forgiveness-everything that can make, or break, a life is all wrapped up in this beautifully written, emotionally impacting novel. There is so much to contemplate and discuss that my advice is to read it with a buddy. #BookSky @scribnerbooks.bsky.social
