Published: Ecco, 2009
Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Anne, a wife and mother is living the Beverly Hills good life. She leads book groups for directors, screenwriters, producers, and actors. It's not that she planned to do this, it just happened because she's so well read, so brilliant, so delightfully British. But from the opening scene in which we see her highly connected, Hollywood deal-maker husband packing to leave, she must use her literary brilliance to maintain her equilibrium and to fight ferociously for the life she knows that she deserves. Anne ultimately confronts one of the thorniest issues of our time in this finely crafted and deeply moving novel, --Bob Sommer, Changing Hands Bookstore (Tempe, AZ)

The Angel's Game(Hardcover (Cloth))
by
Ruiz Zafon, Carlos
Format: Hardcover (Cloth)
Price:
$26.95
Published: Doubleday Books, 2009
Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
In the tradition of Dickens, who wrote books that enjoyed massive success in their time, The Angel's Game is a guaranteed page turner with many twists and turns of plot, a touch of horror, and much suspense. The story takes us back to the gothic universe of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, the Sempere and Son bookshop, and the winding streets of Barcelona's old quarter, in a masterful tale about the magic of books and the darkest corners of the human soul. The book is an examination of the power of books to change our lives in ways we don't even realize.--Milane Christiansen, The Book Works (Del Mar, CA)

by
Hall, Tarquin
Format: Hardcover (Cloth)
Price:
$24.00
Published: Simon & Schuster, 2009
Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Vish Puri, part Hercule Poirot and part Precious Ramotswe--with a nod to Sherlock Holmes -- deploys his team of undercover operatives at Delhi's Most Private Investigators, Ltd, with shrewd skill. He's an old fashioned, principled man not afraid of modern technology as it changes the face of India where strict class divisions and gender roles still rule. Irresistible, this quirky story should appeal to readers of every stripe, mystery and non, and it provides at least one excellent surprise as Puri cracks a case. Although this debut may seem like a riff on Smith, Puri is uniquely his own man.--Barbara Peters, The Poisoned Pen (Scottsdale, AZ)

I loved it!--Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books (Mystic, CT)

Brooklyn(Hardcover (Cloth))
by
Toibin, Colm

$25.00

In a quiet and compassionate novel, Toibin gives us a rich and intricate story of a young Irish woman who unexpectedly leaves her small town and her family for a vibrant place in fifties America called Brooklyn. We watch her mature and change, and ultimately we witness her transgressive choice of what she will call love and home.

Dark Places(Hardcover (Cloth))
by
Flynn, Gillian
Format: Hardcover (Cloth)
Price:
$24.00
Published: Shaye Areheart Books, 2009
Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Gillian Flynn has a genius for writing compelling stories about repellent characters. As in her previous novel, Sharp Objects, an Edgar Award finalist, Dark Places focuses on a deeply flawed protagonist, who over the course of the novel, wins some measure of reader sympathy if not empathy. Told alternatively in Libby Day's current search for the killer of her family, which occurred when she was a child, and flashbacks to the events leading up to this horrific event, Dark Places mesmerizes even as it horrifies. An unflinching look at a seldom seen side of America -- the raw struggle of the rural poor, far from the ideal of the family farm. This exceeds the promise shown in Sharp Objects.--Joe, Anderson's Bookshop (Naperville, IL)

This is a perfect read and I was absorbed in the book to the end.--Lillian Kinsey, Bohannons' Books (Georgetown, KY)
