The book I am waiting on is…
Ragdollby Daniel Cole
Goodreads Summary:“William Fawkes, a controversial detective known as The Wolf, has just been reinstated to his post after he was suspended for assaulting a vindicated suspect. Still under psychological evaluation, Fawkes returns to the force eager for a big case. When his former partner and friend, Detective Emily Baxter, calls him to a crime scene, he’s sure this is it: the body is made of the dismembered parts of six victims, sewn together like a puppet—a corpse that becomes known as “The Ragdoll.”
Fawkes is tasked with identifying the six victims, but that gets dicey when his reporter ex-wife anonymously receives photographs from the crime scene, along with a list of six names, and the dates on which the Ragdoll Killer plans to murder them.
The final name on the list is Fawkes.
Baxter and her trainee partner, Alex Edmunds, hone in on figuring out what links the victims together before the killer strikes again. But for Fawkes, seeing his name on the list sparks a dark memory, and he fears that the catalyst for these killings has more to do with him—and his past—than anyone realizes.
With a breakneck pace, a twisty plot, and a wicked sense of humor, Ragdoll announces the arrival of the hottest new brand in crime fiction.
Why I am waiting: To start the new year, I wanted to make sure I had a new thriller in mind and this one definitely caught my attention. This is a debut novel for Daniel Cole and is already getting rave reviews. I always love giving new authors a try. Cole was also previously a paramedic so you can only imagine the unique perspective that he might be able to bring to a thriller. Make sure this one is on your TBR list readers!
Expected publication date: April 4, 2017
Happy Reading!
