What do authors think about the weekend before their new books release? Nervous? Anxious? Excited? New books coming this week from Cate Holahan and Jeff Abbott. Both are excellent reads and books you should add to your thriller list.

In Traitor's Dance, Jeff Abbott brings back Sam Capra, though it's been ten years since the events of the last book. "Sam works for a secret espionag agency called Section K. He is living in Austin, TX with his 13-year-old son, Daniel and just trying to be the best suburban dad. Sam is approached by a fellow spy with news that a former agent, Markus Bolt, is missing from Russia, where he defected after betraying the US. It looks like he's headed back to the US to see his family. Sam's job is to catch Bolt and bring him in - without letting anyone else know what's going on. Just a simple pickup..." This is going to be one of my favorite books this year. It's fun when an author makes up their own agency. (Section K) It gives them the ability to do whatever they want. Sam is up against the Russians who want Bolt back as well as rival intelligence agents. Plus Bolt knows how to stay hidden. There's a lot of action in these pages and some surprising twists. Everyone is not who you think they are. Aboot does a nice job of not veering into Russian bad-guy stereotypes. This is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone. But now I need to go back and read the others. Abbott has a great fast-paced writing style. This is an excellent action-thriller. #traitorsdance #jeffabbott #samcapra #grandcentralpub #novelsuspectinsider #novelsuspects #espionagethriller #spythriller #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs (at Surfside Beach, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKOAtdLyp2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An Ambush of Widows by Jeff Abbott is a wild story. "Kirsten gets a call that her husband has been killed. She rushes to Austin, TX to find out what happened and who her husband was meeting in Austin. Her foster brother, Zach, , who works for the New Orleans mob, flies in to help her. Kirsten teams up with the other widow, Flora Zhang, to find the connection between their husbands. Why were they together and who wanted them dead?" There are a lot of familiar plot elements here - kids in foster care, hiding a body, the mob family, a hit man. so many secrets and long awaited revenge. But Abbott mixes them up in a way that I have never read before. The story is a crazy mix of reveal after reveal - Kirsten and Zach's story. Who was Uncle Larry and Aunt JJ? And Teddy? What was the connection? So many surprises. The ending is more crazy action especially when you realize how the pieces fit together. Nice resolution and epilogue. Definitely a book you should add to your summer reading list. Thanks to @grandcentralpub and @novelsuspects for the advanced copy. #anambushofwidows #jeffabbott #novelsuspectsinsiders #grandcentralpublishing #netgalley #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #mysteryandthrillers https://www.instagram.com/p/CQqxsbBrUXH/?utm_medium=tumblr
