‘The Missing Witness: ‘A key witness goes missing and Detective Kara Quinn and FBI special agent Matt Costa must race to find the missing witness and get to the bottom of the avalanche of conspiracies that has rocked LA to its core…before it’s too late. A good read.
‘Missing Persons’: A wealthy business man approaches Jack Morgan, head of Private, the world’s largest investigation agency, with a desperate plea to track down his daughter and grandchildren who have disappeared without a trace. What at first seems to be a simple missing persons case soon escalates into something much more deadly.
‘Coming To Find You’: Nancy’s mother and stepfather have been brutally killed. After a trial that gripped the nation, her stepbrother has been convicted of the double murders. But the end of the trial is just the beginning of a new nightmare for Nancy. I can’t say I enjoyed this book. I read it but was glad when I was finished so I could try another!
‘The House of Kennedy:’ The Kennedys have always been a family of charismatic adventurers, raised to take risk and excel, living by the dual family mottos: “To whom much is given, much is expected” and “Win at all costs.” And they do-but at a price. This was interesting almost written like one of James Patterson’s novels. A good read.
‘The Book of Doors’: This is a new author for our library. A debut novel full of magic, adventure and romance. Cassie Andrews works in a New York City bookstore, shelving books, making coffee for customers and living an unassuming ordinary life—until the day one of her favourite customers, a lonely yet charming old man, dies sitting at his usual table in the store. Cassie is devastated. She always loved his stories, and now she has nothing to remember him by. Nothing, that is, but the last book he was reading and one other he left for Cassie. But the other book, covered in faded, cracked leather, is no ordinary book. It is the Book of Doors, and so the adventure begins. A good read.
Lots of new books to get through the winter, even though Spring is in the air, I think winter is not quite finished with us yet.
