The Memory Collectors by Dete Meserve

 

Exceptionally good save a smidge of triteness at the end.

The Doorman by Chris Pavone

 I was super excited about this because I really liked Two Nights in Lisbon. And it started strong, with complex characters and interesting social commentary. But, as is often the case, there was just one too many twists in it.

The Love Haters by Katherine Center

 

I've said it before (and I'll probably say it again): if you want a fluffy romcom, Katherine Center will not disappoint.

Also: solid narrator, and not a great cover given some plot points I won't go into.

I See You've Called in Dead by John Kenney

 I liked this because it was quirky and funny.

Pictures of You by Emma Grey

 

Surprisingly good.

The Missing Half by Ashley Flowers

 

I generally have sworn off missing/dead girl books, but this was actually pretty solid.

Count My Lies by Sophie Stava

 

At first I thought this was just a cheap knockoff of The Last Mrs. Parrish (which I didn't even like), but then it went in a different direction, and that worked reasonably well.

Overgrowth by Mira Grant

 

This was at its best as social commentary; as science fiction, it didn't gel. Unfortunately, there wasn't that much social commentary.

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Jessica Guerrieri

 This was so close to being fantastic -- but a few one-dimensional characters and one too many over-the-top plot points really hurt it.

Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

 Meh.

The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

 

I thought this was dumb.

Closer than You Think by Jean Grainger

 

Very good.

Each to Their Own by Jean Grainger

 I just love this series.

Julie Chan Is Dead by Liann Zhang

 

Started off very strong but then got too weird.
