Pipestone County
Star - 05-09-13
As I write this, the sun it out, though we are being
threatened with rain and possibly (gasp) snow on Thursday. With all that beautiful light outside, that
we’ve been waiting so long for, I have a hard time giving the weather man any
credence today. In my mind, it’s time
for a ice-cold drink, flip-flops, and the lawnchair, not to mention a great
book! Here are some books coming in the
next few months that I KNOW some of you can’t possibly live without!
Sweet Salt Air
(June 18), Barbara Delinsky
Master storyteller Delinksy invites you to Quinnepeague,
Maine, and into the company of two friends, back together after many years
apart. Nicole, in the midst of writing a
book about island food, invites her friend Charlotte to stay with her, as they
used to do years before when they were both less busy. Charlotte has always been better with people
and might be able to help with the locals.
What the two don’t realize is that secrets are about to come to light
that will change their lives forever.
Will it cost Nicole her marriage?
Will Nicole be able to remain friends with Charlotte? Will Charlotte finally find love with a
reclusive island resident? You’ll have
to read to find out!
Second
Honeymoon (June 24), James Patterson
A pair of honeymooners decides to spend some time in the
sauna in their luxury suite and never come back out. Another pair of newlyweds are killed just
before boarding their honeymoon flight for Rome. Is someone targeting just married
couples? Agent O’Hara finds himself deep
into the case, while Special Agent Brubaker finds herself solving another case
with a serial killer whose victims have something terrifying in common. Can the two of them work together to solve
both cases before anyone else gets the wedding jitters? Wish them luck!
Bombshell (July
9), Catherine Coulter
Special Agent Hammersmith (seen last in Backfire) is back
in this next thriller. Savich has
recruited him for his team in D.C. and while Hammersmith is on his way, he
decides to visit his sister at college.
Just before he arrives, he is informed that she was found naked,
unconscious, and covered in someone else’s blood after a wild party. So whose blood is it? Meanwhile, in DC, Savich and his team find
themselves beset with a mysterious case – the grandson of the former Chair of
the Federal Reserve is found frozen at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial, every
bone in his body broken. Will
Hammersmith be able to help with that case?
And better yet, will he be able to figure out what happened to his
sister?
The Highway
(July 30), C.J. Box
We all know we should stay away from remote roads, but
that doesn’t stop two sisters from setting out into Montana to visit a
friend. Both girls and their car simply
vanish from the highway, leaving not a trace behind. Cody Hoyt, a former police investigator who
has fallen off the wagon, is convinced by his former partner, Cassie Dewell, to
check into it. As they drive toward the
girls’ last known location, Cassie discovers these aren’t the first girls to go
missing on that stretch of highway. They
are about to enter the hunting ground of an exceptional killer and he might not
be working alone…
Tamarack County
(August 20), William Kent Krueger
Cork O’Connor is back in a tale that may be the most suspenseful
yet! As a blizzard rises before
Christmas, the wife of a local judge in Tamarack County disappears, her car
found at the side of the road. Cork
begins to notice small things about the disappearance that bother him, small
things that seem to connect with other strange things happening all over the
county. And it all seems to connect back
to a murder that happened twenty years prior – was an innocent man convicted?
With the dark days of the year coming and everything obscured by blowing snow,
Cork needs to find an answer fast!
Bones of the
Lost (August 27), Kathy Reichs
Temperence Brennan finds herself in the middle of it all
once again. A girl’s body has been
discovered along a deserted road in Charlotte with a dead businessman’s card in
her pocket – was she turning tricks? Her
body definitely shows signs of foul play.
The Chief Medical Examiner has also asked Dr. Brennan to examine the remains
of a Peruvian dog mummy, smuggled into the country by, presumably, a Desert
Storm Veteran. Somehow, these two are
connected. And to top it all off, Tempe’s
daughter impulsively enlists in the army and her (ex) husband is pushing her to
finalize her divorce. Will this ever
end?
If there is a book here that you cannot live without,
please give us a call and let us know.
We would be happy to make note that you are waiting!
Have a great few weeks – it’s finally sunny!!
