Waiting on Wednesday #22

June 20th, 2012 Vicky

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

My pick for this week:

Cover of Kept in the Dark by Penny HancockKept in the Dark by Penny Hancock
ISBN: 9780452298330
Format: Paperback
Length: 352 pages
Publication date: August 28th, 2012
Publisher: Plume
Add it to your Goodreads wishlist

When her neighbor’s fifteen-year-old nephew goes missing, Sonia is the last person that anyone would ever suspect. At forty-three, she is a strikingly attractive wife and mother. And like the River House, her lovely home overlooking the Thames, Sonia’s life is a picture of perfection and normalcy—until she meets Jez. From the moment he shows up on Sonia’s doorstep, the gorgeous teenage boy awakens a torrent of memories that she has worked a lifetime to forget. Drawn to Jez by a compulsion that she scarcely understands, Sonia takes him captive—prepared to sacrifice everything to keep him. Evocative of thrillers by Chevy Stevens and Sophie Hannah, Kept in the Dark is a haunting debut novel about obsession, desire, and the potential darkness in us all.


Why I can’t wait: Okay. What the bloody hell is going on in this woman’s head? I’m seriously super excited about this one! It sounds like a really dark kind of thriller, something that keeps you reading until 2 in the morning. And you know how much I love those books, don’t you? ;) DEFINITELY waiting for this one.

What are you all waiting on this week? Make sure to leave a comment with a link to your own post so that I can visit you guys back! :)

    The Surgeon by Tess GerritsenIn Boston, there's a killer on the loose. A killer who targets lone women, who breaks into their apartments and performs terrifying ritualistic acts of torture on them before finishing them off. His surgical skills lead police to suspect he is a physician - a physician who, instead of saving lives, takes them.

    But as homicide detective Thomas Moore and his partner Jane Rizzoli begin their investigation, they make a startling discovery. Closely linked to these killings is Catherine Cordell, a beautiful medic with a mysterious past. Two years ago she was subjected to a horrifying rape and attempted murder but she shot her attacker dead. Now she is being targeted by the new killer who seems to know all about her past, her work, and where she lives.

    The man she believes she killed seems to be stalking her once again, and this time he knows exactly where to find her...
