Today's guest on Killer Women Podcast is Jaime Lynn Hendricks. Jaime's debut novel, Finding Tessa, was called "an anxiety fueled ride rife with unexpected left turns" by Publishers Weekly, and won a "Best of 2021" in the debut category from Suspense Magazine. It is also available in UK & Commonwealth under the title His Missing Wife. It Could Be Anyone was described as "Riveting from its opening scene" by bestselling author Robyn Harding. NYT Bestselling author Mary Kubica said it "starts with a bang and never lets up." Publisher's Weekly says, "Hendricks maximizes the suspense of her Clue-style premise, smoothly manipulating and misdirecting readers." It is also available in UK & Commonwealth under the title Her Husband's Murder.Her third, I Didn't Do It, is due out 5/23/23. A Kirkus STARRED review called it "A furious, riotous meta-romp...a dishy balm for every aspiring author who's envied those established figures at mystery conventions." Liv Constantine says, "Wow! What a twist!" Described by Samantha Bailey as "A meta mystery, a suspense, and a divine comedy all rolled into one brilliantly constructed novel." Samantha Downing says it's "A crackling, irresistible thriller, and it's so much fun!" Ashley Winstead adds, "It doesn't get any better than this...it's official: all hail the queen of the page turner." Jaime spent over twenty years in the printing industry before becoming an author, and recently moved from NJ to FL with her husband and dog.Copyrighted by Authors on the Air Global Radio Network#podcast #author #interview #authors #KillerWomen #KillerWomenPodcast #authorsontheair #podcast #podcaster #killerwomen #killerwomenpodcast #authors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #authorinterview #writingcommunity #authorsontheair #suspensebooks #authorssupportingauthors #thrillerbooks #suspense #wip #writers #writersinspiration #books #bookrecommendations #bookaddict #bookaddicted #bookaddiction #bibliophile #read #amreading #lovetoread #daniellegirard #daniellegirardbooks #jaimelynnhendricks #ididntdoit #scarletbooks

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

ABOUT THE BOOK - SLEEPING DOGS LIE From the internationally bestselling author of My Lovely Wife and For Your Own Good comes a twisted, entertaining novella about a dog walker swept into a criminal investigation when her client winds up dead. Shelby works as a dog walker in northern California, and she's just finished up her bi-weekly trip to the park with a husky named Pluto. When she brings him back to his house, she finds his owner—Todd Burke, a well-known local businessman and founder of an organic supplements company—lying on the bathroom floor, dead. A detective arrives on the scene. As she interviews Shelby, the body is inspected by a medical examiner, and more cops search Todd's home, it becomes clear that the victim's life was less picture-perfect than his clean-cut persona might lead you to believe.

Hello and welcome to Episode Forty Seven of Page Turn: the Largo Public Library Podcast. I'm your host, Hannah! If you enjoy the podcast subscribe, tell a friend, or write us a review! The English Language Transcript can be found below But as always we start with Reader's Advisory! The Reader's Advisory for Episode Forty Seven is Gentlemen & Players by Joanne Harris. If you like the sound of Gentlemen & Players you should also check out: The Drama Teacher by Koren Zailckas, For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing, and The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring. Bonus segment my personal favorite Goodreads list Gentlemen & Players is on is Chess Themed Fiction Happy Reading Everyone Today's Library Tidbit is about keeping track of your reading and book journaling! For those of us that read, keeping track of books you've read is an important step. There are multiple reasons why someone would keep track of their reading, from simply remembering which books they've read, to knowing where in a series they left off, to noting authors they like or don't like. But how to keep track of this information? How to know how much information to keep track of? Where to even start? Well, there are no good answers to these questions because it's very subjective! There are online resources you can use to keep track of your reading, Goodreads and Storygraph, even an excel spreadsheet for those of you who like to program your own. You can also use good old pen and paper. The upside to using an online resource is that you can search quickly to figure out where in a series you are, what the next book is, and also if you have or have not read a title. The downside to online resources is that often they cannot be personalized. Someone who keeps track of their reading using a journal is more easily able to add their own thoughts and feelings, even draw images or create collages that connect thoughts, opinions, and feelings about a book. It all depends on the reader! The library can also keep track of your library reading history, but only if you ask us! For privacy reasons the library does not automatically keep track of items that you have had checked out. However, a lot of readers find the convenience of being able to see which library items they've checked out to be more important for them than the privacy of not having records available to subpoena or warrant. If you are interested in keeping track of your library item history then talk to a library staff member and they can turn that on for you. It will not be able to know which items you have already returned to the library, but it will keep track of items from that day until you turn it off. I personally, need to keep track of what titles I've read. Like most readers, I read a lot, and I read series. Nothing is worse than when you find out a new book in a series is coming out but you're not sure where you left off. Reading through book summaries trying to figure out where you stopped, trying to remember if you stopped reading this series for a reason, or even reading the series starting over from book one, all take more time and energy than having a track record of what you've already read. Over the years the library has seen plenty of different ways readers keep track of their reading. Our least favorite, and one we will ask that you do not do, is when readers physically mark books with their own private secret code, so that if they pick it up again, they know if they have or have not read it. We do not like when patrons put marks in our books, but also having a personal mark lets us know just how many books a reader has marked up and we will grab them as evidence when asking you to stop marking in our books. We have also seen readers come in with notebooks, separated by author, with series written down in order and check marks next to titles already read. This is a great resource for readers who like to read specific authors,

Atmospheric and claustrophobic, tense and twisted, this chiller will make you hold your breath as you turn the pages. Cancel your plans when you start reading this one because you won't be able to put it down.” —Hannah Mary McKinnon, internationally bestselling author of Sister Dear and You Will Remember Me "Chilling, gripping, and gaspingly surprising. The oh-so-talented Heather Gudenkauf has created a modern day In Cold Blood. Her unforgettable characters reveal a devastating story that will chill you to the bone, and then break your heart. With a brilliant structure, an authentic sense of place, and gorgeous storytelling, Gudenkauf proves she is the queen of the rural thriller." —Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of Her Perfect Life "An isolated farmhouse, a deadly snowstorm, and a small child found in the snow—those are the ingredients for Gudenkauf's latest up-all-night thriller. Scrupulously plotted and layered with multiple narratives that culminate in some explosive surprises, The Overnight Guest is Gudenkauf at her best. A chilling and heart-stopping stunner." —Kimberly Belle, international bestselling author of My Darling Husband --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Happy New Year!!Three books to start the year off right.For Your Own Goodby Samantha Downing Published July 20th 2021 by BerkleyTeddy Crutcher has won Teacher of the Year at the esteemed Belmont Academy, home to the best and brightest.He says his wife couldn't be more proud—though no one has seen her in a while.Teddy really can't be bothered with the death of a school parent that's looking more and more like murder or the student digging a little too deep into Teddy's personal life. His main focus is on pushing these kids to their full academic potential.All he wants is for his colleagues—and the endlessly meddlesome parents—to stay out of his way.It's really too bad that sometimes excellence can come at such a high cost.USA Today bestselling author Samantha Downing is back with her latest sneaky thriller set at a prestigious private school—complete with interfering parents, overeager students, and one teacher who just wants to teach them all a lesson… A Good Day for Chardonnay (Sunshine Vicram #2)by Darynda Jones Published July 27th 2021 by St. Martin's PressRunning a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff--and even fuller-time coffee guzzler--Sunshine Vicram, didn't get that memo.All Sunshine really wants is one easy-going day. You know, the kind that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with take-out pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out, that's about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?)Before she can say iced mocha latte, Sunny's got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he's not the villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all, he possesses a serious set of abs. She's seen it. Once. Accidentally.Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesn't know when to quit, Sunny's life is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy.The Night We Burnedby S.F. KosaPublished August 10th 2021 by Sourcebooks LandmarkA new psychological thriller from suspense powerhouse S.F. Kosa featuring a decades-old secret, a mysterious cult fire, and a woman looking to outrun the ashes of her past...until they come roaring back once more.Dora is always aware of the line between fact and fiction.

But when a murder crops up in her old town, one linked to a deadly fire at a cult compound twenty years prior, suddenly all of Dora's carefully spun deceptions are at risk.Because she's seen a murder like this before. She knows what the police missed.And if she doesn't stop the story, she may be next.As Dora follows the journalist, altering facts to hide her identity along the way, she's thrown back into a world she tried desperately to leave behind. One of ritual and belonging, of danger and darkness. A world where two girls promised to help each other through...until it all went up in flames.And Dora knows, she won't be lucky enough to escape twice.
