Week of March 25, 2025 | New fiction book releases
Welcome to this week's anticipated overview of new fiction book releases! This is an especially fruitful week for mystery and thriller fans. Among the new releases here, you’ll find the latest instalment of the Virgin Flowers series, Lethal Prey. If you have never heard of this series, jump over to my page detailing it.
Also in this post, I'm thrilled to share my review of All Our Beautiful Goodbyes by Julianne Maclean, a poignant exploration of love and loss based on Canada’s Sable Island, an island 290 km off the coast of Halifax known as “The Graveyard of the Atlantic” due to its more than 350 shipwrecks. Here, we follow Emma and the colony of men and women who tended to shipwreck survivors.
There’s lots to choose from so enjoy combing the list and picking your personal favourite. Have a great reading week ahead!
