In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of May 9th and May 16th that we think will be of interest to Bookreporter.com readers, along with Bonus News, where we call out a contest, feature or review that we want to let you know about so you have it on your radar. This week, we are calling attention to Carol Fitzgerald's two most recent Bookreporter.com Bets On selections: EVERYONE BRAVE IS FORGIVEN by Chris Cleave and I LET YOU GO by Clare Mackintosh.

Behind Closed Doors by B. A. Paris

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace: he has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. Picture this: a dinner party at their perfect home, the conversation and wine flowing. They appear to be in their element while entertaining. And Grace's friends are eager to reciprocate with lunch the following week. Grace wants to go, but knows she never will. Her friends call --- so why doesn't Grace ever answer the phone? And how can she cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim? And why are there bars on one of the bedroom windows?
