Fiction: (all quotes from publishers’ summaries)
An Ambush of Widows by Jeff Abbott (F ABB)
“Henry North is a cybersecurity expert from New Orleans. Adam Zhang is the cofounder of one of Austin’s most successful venture capitalist firms. These two men didn’t know each other. Yet they died together, violently, in a place neither had any business being. An uneasy alliance forms as their two widows delve into their husbands' deadly and dangerous secrets. Together they will face a powerful foe. In doing so, neither Flora nor Kirsten will remain the woman the world thought they were.”
It’s Better This Way by Debbie Macomber (F MAC)
“It’s been nearly six years since Julia Jones’ husband became involved with another woman. Distraught, Julia moves into a condominium complex that offers a fresh start. Now, having settled into her new community and sold her successful interior design business, she’s embraced a fulfilling new life. But when Julia meets a handsome new resident in the building’s exercise room, she can’t help but be drawn to him. As she and Heath begin to grow close, their friendship blossoms into an unexpected love. However, they soon realize that combining families proves to be a challenge, even though their four children are adults.”
The Forest of Vanishing Stars by Kristin Harmel (F HAR)
“After being stolen from her wealthy German parents and raised in the unforgiving wilderness of eastern Europe, a young woman finds herself alone in 1941 after her kidnapper dies. Her solitary existence is interrupted, however, when she happens upon a group of Jews fleeing the Nazi terror. Stunned to learn what’s happening in the outside world, she vows to teach the group all she can about surviving in the forest- and in turn, they teach her some surprising lessons about opening her heart after years of isolation.”
An Irish Hostage by Charles Todd (F TOD Cra.12)
“The Great War is over- but in Ireland, in the wake of the bloody 1916 Easter Rising, anyone who served in France is now considered a traitor, including nurse Eileen Flynn and former soldier Michael Sullivan, who only want to be married. Bess Crawford had promised to be there for the wedding. And in spite of the danger to her, she keeps that promise- only to be met with the shocking news that the groom has vanished. Time is running out, for Michael and for Bess herself, and soon her own life is on the line. With only an Irish outlaw and a man being hunted for murder on her side, how can she possibly save herself, much less stop a killer?”
Such a Quiet Place by Megan Miranda (F MIR)
“Welcome to Hollow's Edge- a picture-perfect neighborhood, until the night Brandon and Fiona Truett were found dead. Two years ago, branded a grifter, thief, and sociopath by her friends and neighbors, Ruby Fletcher was convicted of murdering the Truetts. Now, freed by mistrial, Ruby has returned to Hollow's Edge. No one wants her there, least of all her old housemate, Harper Nash. As Ruby's return sends shockwaves through the community, terrified residents turn on each other, and it soon becomes clear that not everyone was honest about the night the Truetts died.”
