EAGERLY ANTICIPATING: I have added House of Correction, by Nicci French, to my “must read” list. The book will be released on October 27, 2020.
In this heart-pounding standalone thriller from bestselling author Nicci French, a woman accused of murder attempts to solve her own case from the confines of prison—but as she unravels the truth, everything is called into question, including her own certainty that she is innocent.
Tabitha is not a murderer.
When a body is discovered in Okeham, England, Tabitha is shocked to find herself being placed in handcuffs. It must be a mistake. She’d only recently moved back to her childhood hometown, not even getting a chance to reacquaint herself with the neighbors. How could she possibly be a murder suspect?
She knows she’s not.
As Tabitha is shepherded through the system, her entire life is picked apart and scrutinized —her history of depression and medications, her decision to move back to a town she supposedly hated . . . and of course, her past relationship with the victim, her former teacher. But most unsettling, Tabitha’s own memories of that day are a complete blur.
She thinks she’s not.
From the isolation of the correctional facility, Tabitha dissects every piece of evidence, every testimony she can get her hands on, matching them against her own recollections. But as dark, long-buried memories from her childhood come to light, Tabatha begins to question if she knows what kind of person she is after all. The world is convinced she’s a killer. Tabatha needs to prove them all wrong.
But what if she’s only lying to herself?

That was my week. What did yours look like? I am still struggling to read more…but find myself caught up in other activities. How are the rest of you hanging in there?

I haven’t read any Nicci French but heard good things – think she’s an author I need to add to my TBR based on that blurb!

I have yet to read a mystery that features a forensic psychologist. It sounds like it would be cool because it features a procedural element to it. Happy reading!

I love the colors in When She Was Good. And yet, the cover still somehow manages to look kind of ominous? It’s pretty neat. I know a lot of people enjoy Nicci French’s books! Hope you like her new one when you read it.
