New books this week includes several thrillers. When Hazel Sharp, daughter of Mirror Lake’s longtime local detective, unexpectedly inherits her childhood home, she’s warily drawn back to the town—and people—she left behind almost a decade earlier. But Hazel’s not the only relic of the past to return: a drought has descended on the region, and as the water level in the lake drops, long-hidden secrets begin to emerge…including evidence that may help finally explain the mystery of her mother’s disappearance, in “Daughter of Mine” by Megan Miranda. Lucas Davenport and his daughter, Letty, team up to track down a dangerous scientist whose latest project could endanger the entire world in “Toxic Prey” by John Sandford. “A Better World” by Sarah Langan is a cunning, outside-the-box satirical thriller about a family’s odyssey into an exclusive enclave for the wealthy that might not be as ideal as it seems. “The Familiar” by Leigh Bardugo is a spellbinding novel, set in the Spanish Golden Age where fate can be changed, and curses can be broken.
