The Good Doctor By: Jessica Payne 5💉💉💉💉💉 Payne DOES it again with this thriller based in the PNW. Chloe and her fiancée Elton are traveling nurses. When they both get jobs at Portland General Hospital, they decide to buy a house and plant roots. 💉 Elton was hired first, but when Chloe is hired, she gets the surprise of her lifetime. Her Ex-husband Jameson is also working there. He is a doctor, and they are assigned to work with each other. They both share a secret and she fled her marriage to him years ago. He still has feelings for her. 💉 Patients come up dead more frequently than should happen and Chloe thinks Jameson is involved in mercy killings. Who is involved? 💉 This novel was face-paced and so incredible twisty, that I could not put it down. Her other novels Make Me Disappear and The Lucky One are incredible too. 💉 Triggers: Illness and Physician-assisted suicide. I like that the author starts with this content, so you can be aware. This novel is due out June 14, 2023. Thank you Jessica Payne, Netgalley, Bookouture, Thriller Book Lovers Promotions for the advanced copy! #thegooddoctor, #jessicapayne, #bookouture, #netgalley, #bookreview, #thrillerbookloverspromotions, #booksconnectus, #bookstagram, #stamperlady50

I Didn’t Do It By: Jaime Lynn Hendricks 5📙📙📙📙📙 A murder, a suspense convention and rivals, COUNT ME IN! My first novel by Hendricks and I can see why this one is all over Instagram. Murderpalooza is a thriller writers conference where the writers celebrate their love of this genre. One of the bestselling authors is Kristin Bailey and she is found dead in her hotel. With all those in attendance there are several suspects. Kristin was a favorite and jealousy can be deadly! Will the writers turn on each other? One of the writers has been working with Kristin. Is there more to their story? This novel was full of fun and DRAMA!! Is someone else being targeted? That ENDING was executed with precision. I am now on board the Hendricks train. #ididntdoit, #jaimelynnhendricks , #thrillers, #booksconnectus, #bookstagram, #bookreview, #stamperlady50, #scarlet

🎉Book Spotlight🎉 The paperback release of David Ellis’s book Look Closer releases today June 6. Synopsis: From the bestselling and award-winning author comes a wickedly clever and fast-paced novel of greed, revenge, obsession—and quite possibly the perfect murder. Simon and Vicky couldn’t seem more normal: a wealthy Chicago couple, he a respected law professor, she an advocate for domestic violence victims. A stable, if unexciting marriage. But one thing’s for sure ... absolutely nothing is what it seems. The pair are far from normal, and one of them just may be a killer. When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky’s secrets begin to unravel. A secret whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and obsession with revenge. These are just a few of the lies that make up the complex web...and they will have devastating consequences. And while both Vicky and Simon are liars, just who exactly is conning who? Part Gone Girl, part Strangers on a Train, Look Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know. #thrillerbookloverpromotions, #davidellis, #paperbackrelease, #bookspotlight, #bookstagram #booksconnectus, #stamperlady50, #katcreations64

The Woman Before Wallis: A Novel of Windsors, Vanderbilts’ and Royal Scandals By: Bryan Trumbull 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wanted to listen to this before I read the authors latest one The Paris Deception. I knew about Prince Edwards meeting Wallis and marrying her, giving up the Throne when he was king. It was such a scandal since she had been divorced and not considered royalty. I knew very little about the Vanderbilts except for Gloria. She had a twin sister Thelma. Edward, Prince of Wales was seeing Thelma while she was married. Scandalous! Part of the scandal involved Gloria which involved a custody battle. A juicy novel! #mira, #thewanbeforewallis, #brynturnbull, #bookstagram, #bookreview, #booksconnectus, #stamperlady50
