Claire’s Top 5 Picks

1. Overkill by Sandra Brown
2. Madonna – A Rebel Life by Mary Gabriel
3. Deep Freeze by Michael C. Grumley
4. The Watchmaker’s Hand by Jeffery Deaver
5. Random In Death by J.D. Robb

Overkill: Zach hasn’t seen his ex-wife, Rebecca, for some time, not since their volatile marriage imploded, so he’s shocked to receive a life-altering call about her. Rebecca has been placed on life support after a violent assault and he, despite their divorce has medical power of attorney. He is asked to make an impossible choice: keep her on life support or take her off of it. Buckling under the weight of the responsibility and the glare of public scrutiny, Zach ultimately walks away, letting her parents have the final say. Four years later her attacker – the scion of a wealthy family in Atlanta – gets an early release from prison. The ludicrous miscarriage of justice reeks of favouritism and Kate Lennon, a brilliant state prosecutor is determined to put him back behind bars. Rebecca’s parents have kept her alive all these years, but if her condition were to change – if she were to die–  her attacker could be retried on a new charge – murder.   A Good Read

Madonna: A very interesting read. This biography chronicles the meteoric rise and enduring influence of the greatest female pop icon of the modern era. With her arrival on the music scene in the early 1980s Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles, taking the nation by storm with her liberated politics and breath-taking talent. A Very Interesting Read.

Deep Freeze: The accident came quickly, with no warning in the dead of night, a precipitous plunge into a freezing river trapped everyone inside the bus. It was then that Army veteran John Reiff’s life came to an end, extinguished in the sudden rush of frigid water. There was no expectation of survival, none, let along waking up beneath blinding hospital lights.

But something isn’t right, even though the doctors assure him that everything is normal. Can he keep himself alive long enough to uncover the truth.

A Good Read

The Watchmaker’s Hand: A Lincoln Rhyme novel, one of my favourite book characters. Forensic Criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and Detective Amelia Sachs track a criminal with a bizarre and catastrophic M.O. – toppling the construction cranes in New York City. Keeps You Reading Far Into The Night

Random In Death: A small and easily concealed weapon wreaks havoc, and the killer is just a face in the crowd. Jenna is at a New York Club watching the legendary band Avenue A and carrying her demo in hopes of slipping it to the guitarist, Jake Kincade. Then from the stage, Jake catches her eye and smiles. It’s the best night of her life.  It’s the last night of her life. And so she becomes another murder victim that Lieutenant Eve Dallas has to solve. A Really Good Read

Lots of new books, DVDs and CDs to bring in the New Year.

Mahjong and Crocheting every week at your library is still going strong and everyone is welcome. We are still having Stay In Touch to offer help with any computer problems once a month. And the 4th Thursday, we are still having Senior Drop In although next month (February) only it will be held at the Prov Bay Hall.

See you at your library!
