I linked to the book trailer for The Poison Tree a couple weeks ago, and I thought you’d be interested in this follow-up. I got my hands on the novel (Erin Kelly‘s debut) last week and finished the novel yesterday.
It is fantastic—a dark, sultry, obsessive love story/thriller with some very disturbing twists. Here’s a bit more from The Poison Tree‘s review in BookPage:
Perfectly paced, it starts with a bang and teems with twists that will keep you guessing right up until its thrilling and shocking conclusion. Kelly masterfully ratchets up the suspense, constantly causing readers to reappraise what is true as well as which dark and dirty secret will be unearthed next, all while nimbly maneuvering back and forth in time to keep tensions running high.
I don’t know about you all, but in my personal reading, I am always trying to maintain a balance between new releases and older books that have long been on my TBR—and it’s so hard to choose what to read next! If you’ve been searching for something brand-new to read, I would definitely recommend The Poison Tree.
Have you read this novel? What new releases have been calling your name?
So glad you enjoyed this one, Eliza! It definitely picks up steam and just doesn’t quit until the last page is turned.
Currently reading A Confederacy of Dunces, which is a re-read, technically, but I have no memory of it whatsoever. Predictably, I am finding it hilarious.
I LOVE A Confederacy of Dunces — esp. Myrna the Minx! It is so funny…
I absolutely try to balance my new reads and TBR reads. Confederacy of Dunces is actually a long-ago read and hopefully soon to be re-read book on my list. I’m currently reading Among Others, out from Tor last week, and loving it. And I just finished two books in a row from my long-owned pile, so I’m making progress in both areas.
This sounds like a fun read, though.
