Thank you @williammorrowbooks for my copy of Mine by  J L Butler.  Super excited to read this one. Publication date is June 26th. Cover is a stunner!  Description below! . . . . . . Film Rights Optioned by Sony Pictures In this riveting tale of psychological suspense, a divorce lawyer risks her career, her sanity, and her life when she falls into an illicit, all-consuming affair with her client—who becomes the primary suspect in his estranged wife’s sudden disappearance. Young divorce lawyer Francine Day has methodically built her career doing everything right. She’s one big case away from securing her place among London’s legal elite. But when she meets her new client, Martin Joy, the natural caution that has protected Francine and fueled her rise melts away. Powerless to fight the irresistible magnetism between them, client and counsel tumble into a blistering affair that breaks every rule. Though Martin insists his marriage is over, Francine doesn’t believe him. Certain details he’s told her don’t quite add up. Consumed with a passion she cannot control and increasingly obsessed with Martin’s relationship with his wife, Donna, Francine follows the woman one night . . . and discovers her having dinner with her supposedly soon-to-be-ex-husband. The next morning, Francine awakens in her neighbor’s apartment with blood on her clothes and no recollection of what transpired after she spied Donna and Martin together. Then Francine receives more devastating news: Martin’s wife has vanished. That dinner was the last place anyone has seen Donna Joy alive. Suddenly, Francine finds herself caught in a dangerous labyrinth of deception, lies, and secrets, in which one false move could lead to her undoing. What happened that night and why can’t Francine remember? Where is Donna and who is responsible for her disappearance? The further Francine goes to find answers, the tighter the net seems to draw—around her lover, herself, and the life she’s meticulously built. . . . #bookblogger #bookreviewer #mine #June #Dressedtoread #obsession #thriller #movies #reading #sonypictures #film #legalthriller #readitnow #booksarebetter #HarperCollins #JLButler
The Downfall of Galveston’s May Walker Burleson By T. Felder Dorn @arcadia_publishing @hall_ways A scandalous true crime story, that follows the life of May Walker Burleson and the events that led to homicide. The story begins in 1900, when the deadliest hurricane recorded in history devastates Galveston, Texas. May Walker was only twelve years old at the time and later writes a detailed account of that day. Photos from the Galveston and Texas History Collection show the aftermath of the fierce storm. The next chapters follow May Walker from her early years of marriage to Richard Coke Burleson, captain, in the U.S. Army and her involvement and participation with the National American Woman Suffrage Association. She seemed to have a full social life and the beauty to go with it. It didn’t last though, long periods of separation from her husband would lead to divorce. It was interesting to see how divorce proceedings were handled in 1935. The author includes divorce filings and proceedings, everything is very detailed. May doesn’t handle the divorce well and packs a pistol in her handbag and heads to South Carolina, where Richard’s second wife, Isobel is staying. May spots Isobel in the hotel cafeteria and approaches her. Shots are heard, and the police are summoned. The author gives a very detailed account of what took place that day. It was very chilling knowing that this really happened. The book is well researched and includes details such as photos, testimony excerpts, letters, newspaper reports, depositions, and eye-witness accounts. It was very interesting to read about May and how follow her life from such a respected position to becoming a murderess. Examining all her beautiful photographs and reading about her charmed life really had me wondering how someone with so much can spiral to such emptiness. Fans of Texas history and true crime will appreciate this well documented account of May Walker Burleson. 4 STARS . . . . . . #texashistory #historyoftexas #galvestonhistory #mytown #truecrime #LSBBT #Lonestarlit #reading #Texas #history #murdertrial #scandal #HistoryPress #Arcadiapublishing #bloggers
I really enjoyed Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell  @atriabooks @jewellwrites .............................................................................................................................................. Edgy, Dark and Addictive This turned out to be quite a stunner. I’ve read lots of psychological thrillers and this one caught me off guard. Much more than your typical missing daughter plot. Scattered with thoughts of some pretty twisted revelations to come. This is my fourth Lisa Jewell novel and I’m a huge fan. I love her writing style and how she keeps me totally absorbed in the storyline. The more I read, the more invested I became and started to care about some of the key characters. Told in multiple POVs we get to learn about their motivations as secrets come out. Somewhere around seventy percent, it became unputdownable as so many shockers were thrown at me. I’m pretty sure I was talking to myself about what was happening! Laurel’s teenage daughter, Ellie goes missing, she is a smart and clever girl. In time, Laurel meets a charming man who she is very attracted to. When she meets his teenage daughter, she can’t shake the feeling of how much she reminds her of her beloved Ellie. Well, what the heck is going on here? You’ll have to read it to find out! There is an emotional punch as the tension builds towards the dramatic end. 4 STARS ..............................................................................................................................................#thenshewasgone #bookblogger #bookreviewer #lisajewell #thrillers #reading #bestbooks #twists #unputdownable #bingeread #mustread
