Added to the TBR: 2016 Edgars edition.
The nominees for the 2016 Edgars have been announced, and after perusing the various lists, these are the books that I've added to my TBR:
Luckiest Girl Alive, by Jessica Knoll: Blurbed by Megan Abbott? SOLD.
Forensics: What Bugs, Burns, Prints, DNA and More Tell Us About Crime, by Val McDermid: Hugely-lauded crime novelist on the nitty-gritty of forensics—from early days up until the present? Don't mind if I do.
Endangered, by Lamar Giles: Teen photoblogger catches her classmates up to no good, and then plasters their exploits on the internet... all anonymously, of course. AND THEN THERE'S A MURDER. I'm getting a distinctly Veronica Mars-y vibe from that description, and it's been praised for diverse representation, and that's always something I'm looking for, so.
A Madness So Discreet, by Mindy McGinnis: The pub copy describes it as a "beautifully twisted gothic historical thriller", which is really all I need to know. Actually, I THINK I'LL PUT IN AN ILL REQUEST RIGHT NOW.
The Sin Eater's Daughter, by Melinda Salisbury: GIRL WITH POISON SKIN? YES, PLEASE.
Little Pretty Things, by Lori Rader-Day: Booklist recommends this one—about a woman working a dead-end job who ends up a suspect in the murder of her high school frenemy—to fans of Tana French, so YAY!
And finally, it's not on MY TBR list, because I've already read it, but you might want to think about adding it to YOURS: The Walls Around Us, by Nova Ren Suma.
What other titles are you eyeing?
