| The Girl Before by J.P. DelaneyPsychological Suspense. Two books with the title The Girl Before have been published in recent months; this is the second, a "debut" by a pseudonymous author (who's published under other names) that has already been selected for big screen treatment by Ron Howard. It unfolds in two time periods, each focusing on a young woman who has seized the opportunity to live in a one-of-a-kind home, albeit with some rather strict and unusual rules. Their stories unfold in parallel, as the second learns what happened to the girl before her and unwittingly follows the same doomed path. Check it out if you liked Peter Swanson's similarly creepy Her Every Fear. |

| Behind Her Eyes by Sarah PinboroughPsychological Suspense. There's nothing worse than learning that the person you've been flirting with is married. Unless, as in Louise Barnsley's case, it's arriving to work one day and learning that person is your new boss. But this situation isn't written for laughs -- it's only the beginning of the story in this riveting novel, which depicts a web of controlling behaviors and dark secrets that gradually reveal profound and dangerous flaws in each of the characters: Louise; her new boss; and his wife, who cultivates Louise as a friend. Shifting perspectives and ominous references to past deeds deepen the menacing suspense in this downright creepy new book. |

The Nowhere Man
by Gregg Hurwitz
In this sequel to Orphan X, former assassin Evan Smoak (now a freelance vigilante delivering justice) is being pursued by his ex-colleagues from the Orphan Program. They taught him everything he knows about killing, escaping, and disappearing, and they consider him a huge threat to their shadowy organization. Kidnapped and held hostage as his enemies get closer, the story really picks up when his captors realize that though they've trapped him, they're also trapped with him. Moving at a blistering pace, this white-hot read combines the moves of Jack Reacher, the skills of Jason Bourne, and the brains and money of Tony Stark.
