paperback mystery haul 📚😋

My coworker was moving and she let me go through some of her paperback mysteries! These are the ones I picked out to take ☺️ I love when I get to shop from someone else’s collection because there’s always books I’d probably never stop and look at/buy on my own, but when it’s in front of me I think it looks so good! Here’s what I got:

In the Dark by Brian Freeman

Let Me Go by Chelsea Cain

Silent Night by C.J. Kyle

Girl Missing by Tess Gerritsen
