5 Page Turning Reads for Your Summer Vacay
The Perfect Marriage
Adam Mitzner’s ninth thriller does not disappoint. This suspenseful domestic drama full of intrigue and of course murder grabs you from the start. What would you do for true love and family? Plot twists until the last page.
Golden Girl
Elin Hildebrand fans will love this Nantucket based heartwarming family tale/Who Done it. Golden Girl introduces us to Vivi, a well-known author and town darling, killed while out on a run. She has the unique opportunity to watch and guide her family from above while at the same time, looking back at her life’s choices.
PS-Meeting the author at a book signing while in the middle of the book was a huge treat!
The Last Thing He Told Me
Laura Dave knocks it out of the park with The Last Thing He Told Me, a roller coaster of a page turner. When her husband’s firm is raided and he disappears, Hannah is left to discover who she really married. Diving into his past she discovers more than she bargained for. Mystery and family drama at its best.
The Cellist
The newest international spy thriller from Daniel Silva (out July 13) The Cellist promises to be another globetrotting adventure. Everyone’s favorite Israeli super spy, Gabriel Allon is back at it with the KBG, MI-6, and Mossad. Pre-ordered!
Malibu Rising
Next on my nightstand. Taylor Jenkins Reid novel, Malibu Rising, is touted as the book club pick of the summer. Set in Malibu in 1983 this tale of 4 famous sisters with family secrets to protect. Movie stars, Califonia parties, surfers, and family drama. Seems like the perfect beach read!
Would love to know what you’re reading these days!
Linking up with My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and Zenaida for Fit Five
I’m intrigued by the “Golden Girl” book, I’ll need to get it.
So cool that you met Elin Hilderbrand WHILE reading the book!
Thank you for these tips, Deborah!
I love all of her books and this one was fantastic
Currently, I’m not reading anything (except blogs LOL). These all sound intriguing…I love a good suspense story, with plenty of plot twists 😉
I love the suspenseful mysteries as well!
Golden Girl sounds like my cup of tea! Thanks for the recommendations, Deborah! Happy reading!
I have loved all of her books and this one was really good!
The Last Thing He Told Me is on my TBR! I just finished Cory Reese’s book (Stronger Than the Dark) and my son is nagging me to re-read the Harry Potter books (he just finished re-reading them all.) I’m not sure if i’m up for that much of a project, but i’ll planning to read just the first one. There’s too many books on my TBR list to spend time re-reading old ones!
You are going to love it! It’s really good hope to finish this weekend
these all sound great! I wish I could get my act together to read more but I just have so much trouble concentrating OR my eyes won’t stay open!
I go through phases of reading a lot. I tend to get more read in the summner
My list to read is getting pretty long. I need to add these to it.’ Right now I’m addicted to Diane Chamberlain books. I’ve read 4 in a row.
I have not read any of those I will check them out! Finished the last thing he told me last night-really good
I need new books to read as we are finally going on an “adult” vacation next week!! Thank you for these recommendations!
Fantastic hope you have an amazing time!
I usually read romance but I like to read some thrillers from time to time and these all sound so good
Hope you find some that you love reading as well
Thanks for these tips! I have some beach time coming up and need some books to bring.
great! I loved all 4 of these and awaiting the Silva book in mail
I definitely want to read a few of these books. I want to read The Last Thing He Told Me for sure.
I just finished it last night-so good!
I am looking for a couple of books to add to my kindle before vacation! The Last Thing He Told Me and The Perfect Marriage sound like a couple I need to add. Thanks for the suggestions!
I loved them both!
I ALMOST done with the last thing he told me. Up next is Malibu rising!!
I loved it! Happy reading
Not that I don’t love every single one of your posts, but you know I LOVED this one. I’ve had the ElinH on my wishlist since you posted about it and Daniel Silva! His on sale now email this morning had me scrambling to Amazon, but no it’s still tomorrow. Is it midnight yet? LOL. CAn’t wait to discuss that one with you
Off to read up on the rest
I just finished Spike Carlsen’s A Walk Around The Block – toddler curiosity meets a writer. Fun one if you’re in the mood for some non fiction
I am able to read more in the summertime so I am getting in all of my faves. Golden Girl was really good. I am eagerly awaiting my Daniel Silva. If you need something to hold you over. Elin H did a “quarter novel” sequel to 28 summers which I am currently listening to on audible. YEs we can discuss Silva in a few weeks
On my list, thanks! I just got the new Diane Capri from the library so hoping to finish that and the Lee Child prequel before delving into Allon’s world this weekend or early next. It was going to be vacation reading, but my book willpower is worse than my chocolate one!
ha ha yes I am trying to finish another books so I can start Silva’s soon
Great suggestions! I used to read a lot but recently stopped, so was looking for some good suggestions to get back into it. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy some of these. All were great reads
