Sometimes, there are books that you wait for. It might be the next book in a series, something
new from a favorite author, or something that someone has told you about time
and time again. We’ve got some good ones
coming in the next few months, books that I KNOW people are waiting for. If you’re like me, some of these might even
be noted on your calendar, so you can be the FIRST to read it.
If you want to place a hold on any of these now, please
call me at the library so I know you’re waiting. We can place the hold as soon as the books
are in the system!
Bones Are Forever,
Kathy Reiches (August 28, 2012)
Temperance Brennan is one of my favorite forensic
anthropologists and these books are ones I wait for eagerly. A woman shows up in an ER with uncontrollable
bleeding, but before the doctor can determine if her recent pregnancy was the
cause, she disappears. A follow up on
the address leads to a pile of bloody towels and Brennan is called in to
investigate. The trail leads to an
apartment in which decomposing bodies are found, leading the investigators on
an even longer chase which will land them somewhere they never expected. Reiches’ best Brennan novel yet!
Delusion in Death,
J.D. Robb (September 11, 2012)
Airborne hallucinogenic pathogens are the latest crime
Eve Dallas has to deal with. A normal
night at a bar has turned into a bloodbath, with eighty people dead once the
smoke clears. Survivors have nightmarish
tales of monsters, swarms of bees, and no story is the same. Tox screens show they were contaminated with
…something…and Dallas has to work fast.
Like I said, it’s airborne. It
could strike anytime, anywhere, and only speedy detective work is going to save
lives.
A Wanted Man,
Lee Child (September 11, 2012)
Jack Reacher only wanted to hitch a ride to
Virginia. The four others in the car are
odd, but he has no idea how odd until he’s already involved. Three men and one woman may have fled a crime
scene that left another man stabbed to death one hour behind them at a pumping
station. Has Reacher gotten himself in
over his head? In typical Child fashion,
this book will keep you at the edge of your seat!
Low Pressure,
Sandra Brown (September 18, 2012)
During a dark and stormy day, Susan Lyston was
murdered. Her sister, Bellamy, knows
what has happened, but many of the memories are locked up tight, swirling
around with a fear of the tornadoes that wiped the crime scene clean all those
years ago. Bellamy writes a fiction
novel, based on the remaining memories, but it isn’t long before a reporter
finds out it’s based on facts and it all goes downhill for poor Bellamy. Someone is stalking her – does that person
want to make sure the truth never comes out, or is there some unfinished
business they need to attend to…
Mad River,
John Sandford (October 2, 2012)
Who can resist Virgil Flowers? Sandford’s coming novel follows a teenage
murder spree with three suspects and cell phones. The teens are capturing footage of their
crimes and sending it to local news stations, but no one can guess what they’ll
do next! A perfect read for an autumn
thrill.
Bone Bed,
Patricia Cornwell (October 16, 2012)
Kay Scarpetta is a favorite investigator for many readers
and Cornwell rarely disappoints. In this
latest installment, a paleontologist
vanishes while digging in a remote area of Canada. The evidence makes its way to Scarpetta and seems
to possibly be connected to some crimes closer to home. But Scarpetta’s plate is overflowing with
other problems while she works on the case – her partner and her husband both
have secrets, her niece is being cryptic, and Scarpetta feels alone enough to
possibly do something drastic…will she?
