The Wolf of Sarajevo: A Novel by Matthew Palmer ($16.76)
A riveting novel of international suspense from acclaimed author and veteran diplomat Matthew Palmer.
Twenty years after the Srebrenica massacre that claimed the life of his friend and colleague, Eric Petrosian is back in Sarajevo at the American embassy, and the specter of war once again hangs over the Balkans. The Bosnian Serb leader, who had for a time been seeking a stable peace, has turned back to his nationalist roots and is threatening to pull Bosnia apart in a bloody struggle for control . . . and behind him is a shadowy mafia figure pulling the strings. As Eric is dragged deeper into the political maelstrom and uncovers a plot of blackmail and ruthless ambitions, Eric is faced with an impossible choice: use the information he’s uncovered to achieve atonement for the past or use it to shape the future.
I’m not sure that this is the book for me but it does sound very interesting. In all honesty, I’d pick it up just because I enjoy saying Sarajevo, it’s the little things that peak my interest in a book. I also have a record to protect to see if I can figure out the mystery before the author tells me. I will say that this isn’t going to be a weekend read more like a week just because I’m not finding it all that interesting peaking.
The Ice Beneath Her by Camilla Grebe ($17.67)
Acclaimed Swedish author Camilla Grebe makes her solo American debut with a psychological thriller as cunning in its twists as it is captivating in its storytelling—for fans of the celebrated crime fiction of Camilla Läckberg, Jo Nesbø, Ruth Ware, and Fiona Barton.
Winter’s chill has descended on Stockholm as police arrive at the scene of a shocking murder. An unidentified woman lies beheaded in a posh suburban home—a brutal crime made all the more disturbing by its uncanny resemblance to an unsolved killing ten years earlier. But this time there’s a suspect: the charismatic and controversial chain-store CEO Jesper Orre, who owns the home but is nowhere to be found.
To homicide detectives Peter Lindgren and Manfred Olsson, nothing about the suave, high-profile businessman—including a playboy reputation and rumors of financial misdeeds—suggests he conceals the dark heart and twisted mind of a cold-blooded killer. In search of a motive, Lindgren and Olsson turn to the brilliant criminal profiler Hanne Lagerlind-Schön. Once a valued police asset, now marooned in unhappy retirement and a crumbling marriage, she’s eager to exercise her keen skills again—and offer the detectives a window into the secret soul of Jesper Orre.
But they’re not the only ones searching. Two months before, Emma Bohman, a young clerk at Orre’s company, chanced to meet the charming chief executive, and romance swiftly bloomed. Almost as quickly as the passionate affair ignited, it was over when Orre inexplicably disappeared. One staggering misfortune after another followed, leaving Emma certain that her runaway lover was to blame and transforming her confusion and heartbreak into anger.
Now, pursuing the same mysterious man for different reasons, Emma and the police are destined to cross paths in a chilling dance of obsession, vengeance, madness, and love gone hellishly wrong.
Oh my goodness, I am so glad that I am not reading another book at this time. This looks like a page-turner filled with love, murder, and a strong female character. I may be unavailable until I’ve read this book cover to cover.
When I started reading for fun I started with mysteries and over the years I’ve branched out but I have come to realize that thrillers are my favorite. I’ve enjoyed seeing what different writers do to throw me off the beaten path and if they can keep me from figuring out who the real villain is first then I am flabbergasted. I am so glad that Bookcase.club keeps new authors coming to my door with a nice monthly price tag.
