Top 4 Mystery Sequel Reads for 2018

1. The Wife Between Us – Authored by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

The Wife Between Us is chilled and twisted in a sweet way. The book reveals an enviable marriage with lots of complexities and secrets. It exposes the bitter truths often overlooked in love. Written with lots of suspense, the book ignites curiosity in the readers; it leaves them with lots of assumptions.

You’ll assume the ex-wife is jealous of a beautiful, younger woman about to take her rightful place, next to her ex-husband. Before you assume that the story is typical of love triangles known to you, read the book to the end to find out what actually happens.

Don’t read between the lines, but the lies.

2. Need to Know – Authored by Karen Cleveland

Vivian Miller, a CIA analyst, pursues a Russian sleeper cell in America. She uncovers a secret that threatens her job, her life and that of her family. On her way to earning a promotion, she comes up with an intelligent system of unearthing Russian agents, who in plain sight, seem like normal people going about their day-to-day jobs.

Within the American borders, Vivian comes across deep-cover agents’ secret dossier after accessing a Russian operative suspect’s computer. After just a few clicks, everything that matters to her is threatened. Vivian vowed to protect her beloved country from domestic and foreign enemies. But now, she’s torn between treason and allegiance, betrayal and loyalty, suspicion and love.

What will she choose?

3. The Jack Reacher Book Series – Authored by Lee Child

If you haven’t started reading the Jack Reacher series in order then you’re missing out big time!

Although you can choose to read the Jack Reacher books in order, you can pick any book in the series and enjoy reading it. This is attributed to the fact that each book in the series is standalone, has a beginning and an end. Jack does what he does best; saving those who need his help and ends a threat.

However, reading the books in order lets you learn more about Jack, his background and family. It’s also a great way to learn more about the author, Lee Child. The first book in the series, published in 1995, was ‘Killing Floor’. If you’ve already read ‘The Midnight Line’, published in 2017, ‘Yesterday’, a 2018 publishing, is waiting in line.

4. Look For Me – Authored by Lisa Gardner

A family of five’s home becomes a crime scene; a 16-year old girl goes missing and the rest brutally murdered. Did she manage to escape or is her absence indicative of something more sinister? Flora Dane, a survivor, and Detective D.D. Warren are on the case.

Although Flora seeks vengeance, the detective is just doing his job; seeking justice for the family. Even with different forms of justice being sought, the two must work together to follow the trails of a young woman gone missing. Could she be the suspect being sought after or one of the victims?

Whichever is the case, she’s quietly pleading with the detectives, and probably saying, ‘Look For Me’. You can only read the book to find out what happens.

These are just some of the mystery sequels making headlines this year. The list of possible goodreads is endless. Simply find what you like or make a pick from your favorite author and enjoy reading.
