Clare Mulroy Books Reporter

Happy Thursday, booklovers! It's Books Reporter Clare Mulroy here to bring you a taste of this week's news and new releases. 

As we usher in April, it's time to look back at 15 of the biggest and best new March releases you can read now . Some of our favorites include the family drama thriller "Broken Country" by Clare Leslie Hall, Meta tell-all "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams and the hilariously unhinged "Hot Air" by Marcy Dermansky.

And if you're as addicted to watching "The White Lotus" as I am, I bet you're feeling some type of way about Season 3 ending soon. But never fear – we've got a list of eight books similar to Mike White's juicy HBO show with drama, gossip, badly-behaved tourists and murder mystery.

I can't help but think of the queen of twisty characters herself, Liane Moriarty. "Nine Perfect Strangers" is one of my favorite books – a very "White Lotus" story of a luxury health resort and the intriguing guests and hosts that become intertwined there. Another is "Saltwater" by Katy Hays, which follows a 30-year "accidental" death of an old-money heiress ripped wide open after the necklace she was wearing the night she died reappears. Or, check out "Bad Summer People" by Emma Rosenblum, which is filled with infidelity, back-stabbing and murder in an exclusive summer enclave.

That's all for this week! Happy reading. Keep up with our books coverage here or shoot me an email to let me know your favorite twisty vacation murder mystery book.
