Here is what I’ve found to be avail­able within the next few months that I am buying/reading:

Bro­ken (June 22) by Karin Slaugh­ter, it’s the next book in the Grant County series. The first book in the series was Blind­sighted (cap­ti­vat­ing). I see that Will Trent’s men­tioned in the syn­op­sis and dammit, I will be read­ing this book after all. Will Trent has his own series that started with Trip­tych but the author merged them.

Shoot to Thrill by PJ Tracy (April 29) is a mother/daughter writ­ing team. The first book in this series was Mon­keewrench, a book I enjoyed. I was under­whelmed with the follow-up, Live Bait. There­fore, I’ve cherry picked titles in this series to read. I have Snow Blind still to read but this is a series worth check­ing out. It has a nice, sub­tle romance in them. Hope to get back on track.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest by Stieg Larrson (May 25) the third and final book in the Mil­len­nium series. I am read­ing the first book and after read­ing about 75% of the book, I can now under­stand the fuss. The one thing that kept nag­ging at me was when Blomkvist and Lis­beth Solan­der would actu­ally meet. Full review next week.

The Last Illu­sion (Molly Mur­phy series #9) by Rhys Bowen (March 2). I must start this series! I own the first three books so I am mak­ing sure to read this series this year. They are his­tor­i­cal mysteries.

The Snow­man by Jo Nesbo (March 4) is the what, fifth or sixth Harry Hole title? Unsure since they’ve been trans­lated out of chrono­log­i­cal order. This is avail­able in hard­cover from the UK. I’m an impa­tient reader when it comes to this man’s books.

There are other titles, filed under roman­tic sus­pense that are only a pass­ing inter­est for me, start­ing with Linda Howard (Veil of Night), Karen Robards (Shat­tered) and Nora Robert’s (The Search). I already know about Ari­ana Franklin’s new one (A Mur­der­ess Procession).

I don’t know what’s the hold-up with the lack of cover art for Julia Spencer-Fleming’s One Was A Sol­dier, which is due out in April. But any­way, I plan to read more Nordic noir and will focus more on that with some romance thrown in between. Well, that’s it for me. What are you look­ing for­ward to reading?
