One of the biggest mystery novels of the year has to be Dan Brown’s newest novel The Secret of Secrets. Brown is one of the biggest authors in the world and he knows how to write a novel with a million plot twists. I am over Brown’s style of writing but his latest novel has been quite popular with tons of people.
I love a good collaborations and it seems like Barnes & Noble does too. Gone Before Goodbye by Harlan Coben and Reese Witherspoon is a big name collaboration that is sure to grab headlines and many eyes by onlookers.
King of Ashes by S. A. Cosby is the one I am eager to read because Crosby’s novels are always well written. I haven’t made much of a dent in this year’s mystery novels but I hope to change that soon. I am adding a bunch of these novels to my to-read list as we speak.
