The Silent Wife: A Novel by A.S.A. Harrison ($9.50)

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Nicole Kidman, fans of The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl will love The Silent Wife

I gobbled it down in one sitting.” – Anne Lamott, People

Jodi and Todd are at a bad place in their marriage. Much is at stake, including the affluent life they lead in their beautiful waterfront condo in Chicago, as she, the killer, and he, the victim, rush haplessly toward the main event. He is a committed cheater. She lives and breathes denial. He exists in dual worlds. She likes to settle scores. He decides to play for keeps. She has nothing left to lose. Told in alternating voices, The Silent Wife is about a marriage in the throes of dissolution, a couple headed for catastrophe, concessions that can’t be made, and promises that won’t be kept. Expertly plotted and reminiscent of Gone Girl and These Things Hidden, The Silent Wife ensnares the reader from page one and does not let go.

Similar to Gone Girl… count me in! I love a mystery weaved together with strong character. I find it utterly fascinating when I can ‘t predict the twists and turns, I read to many books and watch too many shows that test my mystery solving skills.

The Silkworm (A Cormoran Strike Novel) By Robert Galbraith ($15.17)

Private investigator Cormoran Strike returns in a new mystery from Robert Galbraith, author of the #1 international bestseller The Cuckoo’s Calling.
When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days–as he has done before–and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home.

But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine’s disappearance than his wife realizes. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were to be published, it would ruin lives–meaning that there are a lot of people who might want him silenced.

When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any Strike has encountered before…

A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, THE SILKWORM is the second in the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant, Robin Ellacott.

I’m so sad that I have to hunt down the first book in this series because I have to start with number one even though these are stand alone books, it would go against my nature to go against numerical order. All the reviews I’ve seen of this book make my desire to jump into to the world of Cormoran Strike that much stronger. I hope I beat Strike to the finish line!

BookCase.Club is such a fun subscription. I love getting books that are a little older but new to me. There is nothing better than meeting new characters and new authors. I also think it’s great that so many authors are showcased and I have not seen one repeated since I started receiving this box. This month I’m a little disappointed in the quality of the books I received, the covers were sticky and torn. My paperback book looked like a discount sticker has just been removed and the glue was all over the front cover. Both book jackets had bends and tears, it made the subscription look cheap. Had I been looking for bargain bin books I would have been better off at the library or a second hand book store. Fortunately this is not normally the case and I can see one month being a bit less stellar I just hope it’s not a trend.

Have you tried any of the BookCase.Club subscriptions?

    I subscribed during the CrateJoy Sale. I am happy with the selections. I am the same way about wanting to read the first book in the series even though it is a stand alone. I haven’t decided yet if I am going to do it. I already read Silent Wife when it first came out. I’ll read it again because it will read differently now that I’ve read it.
