What better time than now to pick up some thrilling new books to enjoy as our weather changes? From our Fiction and Non-Fiction POWER WALLS, I have selected the following new books as suggestions for your reading pleasure:
"The Devil's Tickets" by Gary Pomerantz (364.1523 POMERAN)- This author's Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Autumn was named a notable book of the year by the New York Times in 1996. This one is equally as colorful as it is a tale of husbands and wives, the "rules" and the 'Bridge Battle of the Century'. Set in 1929 in Kansas City, you'll be mesmerized by the cultural movements that took place during the Roaring 20s.
"The Love Pirate and the Bandit's Son" by Laura James (364.1523 JAMES) - From the front cover: "Murder, Sin, and Scandal in the Shadow of Jesse James". Need I say more? This is Ms. James' debut novel and I'm sure you'll agree that we'll want more! She is also a true crime blogger and the owner of Clews, one of the top true crime sites on the Internet.
"Embrace the Grim Reaper" by Judy Clemens (CLEMENS) - From what I understand, this is the beginning of a new series by this author. This was so gripping, I can't wait to follow the protagonist, Casey, in her next escape! Death won't take her, but won't leave her alone either. Check out this author's website for more: www.judyclemens.com
Did you read "Death of a Cozy Writer" by G.M.Malliet (MALLIET)? If you did, then you'll want to check out the next in the St. Just Mystery series, "Death and the Lit Chick". Nancy Pearl, author of "Book Lust" raves about this author's works as "a delightful homage to the great novels of Britain's Golden Age of Mysteries". Her next one in this series will be available 01/01/10, so you'll have plenty of time to get hooked.
And, for something completely different, yet compelling, try "The Death of a Pope" by Piers Paul Read (READ). I would suggest this to anyone who likes Dan Brown's bestsellers.
