My day 8 title for #LibFaves25 if THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF JUNETTA PLUM by Valerie Wilson Wesley - this mystery set in 1920s Harlem was smart, atmospheric, and what I hope will be the first in a long series.

Day 6 of #LibFaves25 is THE INHERITANCE by Ilona Andrews. I was delighted both by the surprise arrival of a new Andrews title and the adrenaline-charged, but still emotionally resonant story. Loved.

Day 4 title for #LibFaves25 is WRECK YOUR HEART by Lori Rader-Day. A big-hearted, funny, found-family mystery that delighted me from start to finish.

My own day 2 title for #LibFaves25 is BEST OFFER WINS by Marisa Kashino. A woman spirals and will use any means necessary to win the bidding war for the house of her dreams. Sharp, funny and dark.

Day 1 of #LibFaves25 for me will be NOBODY KNOWS YOU'RE HERE by Bryn Greenwood. This haunting thriller is one of the best I've read in a while and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.

Jane Harper delivers another emotionally drawn, deeply wounded mystery with LAST ONE OUT. Not a happy novel, but beautifully drawn. #ewgc

Do you love dogs? Do you love mysteries? Then I have the book for you, AWAY TO ME by Patricia McConnell featuring an animal behaviorist (and budding sheepdog competitor) whose mentor is killed. This is a slow build, but atmospheric and rewarding. #ewgc

Also loved Mary Kubica's IT'S NOT HER - claustrophobic and tense thriller opens with the murder of several members of a family at a northwoods resort, a missing daughter, and a killer on the loose. #ewgc

This one is just out, but have to put a word in for BEST OFFER WINS by Marisa Kashino about a woman who goes into a deep spiral of ever-increasingly wild choices while trying to buy a house in a very competitive market. Darkly twisty and sharp. #ewgc
