Style: Home fiction/Thriller/Romance / My score: B+
Elin Hilderband has lengthy been a favourite creator of mine to show to after I’m within the temper for a light-weight, beachy learn. She’s the queen of weaving collectively characters from previous novels in an fascinating manner and all the time incorporates stunning Nantucket imagery into her novels. The explanation I maintain coming again to Elin’s novels, nonetheless, is the factor of thriller she consists of in her books that always focus on some type of household/pal/Nantucket native drama. She has a complete forged of characters concerned in her mysteries with a number of plotlines going on the identical time so her books are by no means uninteresting. Swan Music took a sizzling minute to seize my consideration (it felt like nearly too many characters at first for me to latch onto) however as soon as I used to be in on this e-book, I used to be all-in. I felt like I had a first-class ticket to some loopy island drama centering round ridiculously rich Nantucket newcomers, Leslee and Bull Richardson.
From Amazon:

Lucy Foley is a mastermind within the thriller/thriller house and after having fun with The Paris Residence residence a lot, I used to be excited dive into The Midnight Feast subsequent. This e-book was a disturbing and twisty however completely entertaining. There have been a handful of surprising reveals which I appreciated (I all the time cherished it when a e-book can shock me!) however there have been additionally a handful of predictable moments. The tempo of the e-book is strong because it saved me invested from starting to finish and I feel anybody who usually flies by way of a very good thriller will fly by way of this one, too.
From Amazon:
It’s the opening night time of The Manor, the latest and hottest luxurious resort, and no expense, small or giant, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; the “Manor Mule” cocktail is being poured with a heavy hand. Everyone seems to be sporting linen.
However below the burning midsummer solar, darkness stirs. Outdated pals and enemies flow into among the many friends. Simply exterior the Manor’s immaculately saved grounds, an historic forest bristles with secrets and techniques. And it’s not too lengthy earlier than the native police are referred to as. Seems the previous has crashed the get together, with lethal outcomes.
