NEW BOOKS

The Rose Arbor by Rhys Bowen. In 1968 London, obituary writer Liz Houghton, to break into the newsroom at a London newspaper, helps her best friend, a police officer, investigate a high-profile case and uncovers a mystery dating back to World War II that is linked to the recent disappearance of a young girl and a murder.

The Widow’s Husband’s Secret Lie by Freida McFadden. My husband is dead. I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car. My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back. So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?

Wives Like Us by Plum Sykes. With the help of a pig farmer-ess moonlighting as a Personal Assistant, a male model moonlighting as a stable hand and a London barrister moonlighting as a gentleman farmer, can Ian restore harmony to The Bottoms?

Written on the Mist by Naomi Rawlings. Set against the sprawling backdrop of Alaska, this sweeping book brings to life the rich history of taming a land that was never meant to be tamed and one family’s fight for justice amid the adversity of changing times.

Whispers on the Tide by Naomi Rawlings. Dr. Quinn meets Bridgerton in this historical novel set on the Alaskan frontier. Maggie McDougal is determined to save her family’s business after her parents’ sudden deaths. And if that means leaving the sandy shores of Lake Michigan and traveling across the country to Washington Territory in search of her brother so he can claim the business, then so be it. Anything is better than watching the family shipyard she loves fall into her uncle’s greedy, conniving hands.
