Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2024

This week I’m linking up with Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday. Check out her blog for a new prompt every week. Today’s topic is:

Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2024

There are so many intriguing books being released in the next few months! My list today is heavy on suspense/thriller novels, and it just barely scratches the surface on all of the books I’m looking forward to.

So far, I only have a review copy for one of them (Darling Girls), plus a couple of pre-orders and library holds. My library usually starts listing books about two months ahead of the publication date, so I have to remember to keep checking to get that early hold. :-)

Here’s my list (in order of publication date):

MIDNIGHT by Amy McCulloch
(January 2, 2024)
“In this pulse-pounding thriller, a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica — to camp beneath the legendary midnight sun — becomes a desperate battle for survival against a killer determined to follow their prey to the ends of the earth.”

ESCAPING MR. ROCHESTER by L.L. McKinney
(January 16, 2024)
“In this fresh reimagining of Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel by acclaimed author L. L. McKinney, Jane Eyre and Bertha Mason must save each other from the horrifying machinations of Mr. Rochester in this intrigue-filled, empowering young adult romance.”

MOON OF THE TURNING LEAVES by Waubgeshig Rice
(February 27, 2024)
“In this gripping stand-alone literary thriller set in the world of the award-winning post-apocalyptic novel Moon of the Crusted Snow, a scouting party led by Evan Whitesky ventures into unknown and dangerous territory to find a new home for their close-knit Northern Ontario Indigenous community more than a decade after a world-ending blackout.”

A HAUNTING IN THE ARCTIC by C.J. Cooke
(February 27, 2024)
“A deserted shipwreck off the coast of Iceland holds terrors and dark secrets in this chilling horror novel from the author of The Lighthouse Witches.”

EVERYONE IS WATCHING by Heather Gudenkauf
(March 26, 2024)
“A mysterious high-stakes game proves life-threatening in this twisty thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest.”

THE SLEEPWALKERS by Scarlett Thomas
(April 9, 2024)
“From ‘one of the UK’s most interesting authors’ (Kirkus Reviews), Patricia Highsmith meets White Lotus in this surprising and suspenseful modern gothic story following a couple running from both secretive pasts and very present dangers while honeymooning on a Greek island.”

DARLING GIRLS by Sally Hepworth
(April 23, 2024)
“A thrilling page-turner of sisterhood, secrets, love, and murder by New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth.”

SAFE AND SOUND by Laura McHugh
(April 23, 2024)
“Six years after their cousin vanished from their home while they were sleeping, two sisters set out to learn the truth behind what happened — even if it puts their own lives in danger — in this haunting thriller from the internationally bestselling author of What’s Done in Darkness.”

ONE PERFECT COUPLE by Ruth Ware
(May 21, 2024)
“Harkening to Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension and ingenious thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them — from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who ‘is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime’ (The Washington Post).”

WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND by Wanda M. Morris
(June 18, 2024)
“Award-winning author Wanda Morris returns with a powerful, haunting thriller following a lawyer who after the mysterious disappearance of a local landowner and the death of his sister just months before, uncovers a conspiracy that dates back to Reconstruction and persists in half the United States today.”

I found MIDNIGHT through Kay’s Reading Life (thanks, Kay!). I hope I was able to put a few new titles on your radar today. Thanks for stopping by! — 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓪
