Winter Reading 2017

At Bookreporter.com, we kicked off 2017 with our third annual Winter Reading Contests and Feature. We hosted a series of 24-hour contests spotlighting a book releasing this winter and gave five lucky readers a chance to win it.

Even though our contests have wrapped up, we encourage you to take a look at this year's featured titles, as these are the books you'll want to read during the winter months --- and into the warmer ones!

JP Delaney, author of The Girl Before

Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control. The space is intended to transform its occupant --- and it does. After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street, she is instantly drawn to the space --- and to its aloof but seductive creator. Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home’s previous tenant, a woman similar to her in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror as the girl before.

The Girl Before by JP Delaney

February 2017

As soon as you read the title, THE GIRL BEFORE, you know that something happened “before.” Then you open the first page and read, “1. Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life.” From there, JP Delaney had drawn me into the story, both to see why this question mattered and to learn what happened then, as well as now. It was a brisk read that flips back and forth between “Then: Emma” and “Now: Jane,” with me turning pages rapidly to follow their stories.

Week of January 1, 2018

Paperback releases for the week of January 1st include THE LOST ORDER, Steve Berry's 12th Cotton Malone novel, a perilous adventure that illuminates our country’s dark past and the risks of a potentially darker future; THE GIRL BEFORE by JP Delaney, an enthralling psychological thriller that spins one woman’s seemingly good fortune, and another woman’s mysterious fate, through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death and deception; THE PERFECT STRANGER, Megan Miranda's gripping story of a journalist who sets out to find her missing friend, a friend who may never have existed at all; and Jessica Shattuck's THE WOMEN IN THE CASTLE, a powerful and propulsive story of three widows whose lives and fates become intertwined, set at the end of World War II, in a crumbling Bavarian castle that once played host to all of German high society.
