At the end of last year, I mentioned doing a post focusing on some of my most anticipated releases for the new year. Since then, it seems everyone and their dog has done a post like that so obviously my idea wasn’t as original as I thought it was. Anyway, I decided to share this list regardless and hopefully you’ll find something that will pique your interest.
Listed by publication date for digital and hardcover copies.
| JANUARY |
Steve Cavanagh – Twisted
Matt Wesolowski – Changeling
Will Dean – Red Snow
Steph Broadribb – Deep Dirty Truth
Diane Setterfield – Once Upon A River
| FEBRUARY |
Angela Marsons – Dead Memories
Jo Spain – Dirty Little Secrets
Stacey Halls – The Familiars
Louise Beech – Call Me Star Girl
C.J. Tudor – The Taking of Annie Thorne
Alex Michaelides – The Silent Patient
| APRIL |
Gillian McAllister – The Evidence Against You
| MAY |
Stuart MacBride – All That’s Dead
Alison Weir – Anna of Kleve : Queen of Secrets
Sarah Hilary – Never Be Broken
Melanie Golding – Little Darlings
| JUNE |
Karin Slaughter – The Last Widow
Alex North – The Whisper Man
| JULY |
Riley Sager – Lock Every Door
| UNKNOWN |
Sharon Bolton – The Poisoner
This is a weird one but I’ve included it anyway. I could have sworn the original publication date was May but Amazon now lists it as December 2020, which quite frankly I refuse to believe because I WANT IT NOW!
Honourable mention to Johana Gustawsson and the third book in the Roy & Castells series.
I have a feeling it’s going to be a great bookish year once again! Which book(s) are you looking forward to the most? Do let me know and I hope you’ve found something in this list that caught your eye. Happy reading! xx

Lots to look forward to! I especially look forward to Lock Every Door and the third book in the Roy & Castells series! From my own list I look foward to discovering the new book by Chris McGeorge. I really liked Guess Who and I want to discover if his sequel is just as great as his debut. Fingers crossed.
