And When She Was Good, Laura Lippman: "Mega-award-winning author Lippman here offers a stand-alone novel… based on a short story, "Scratch a Woman," taken from Lippman's 2008 collection Hardly Knew Her and nominated for both an Edgar and an Anthony." Library Journal

The Bartender's Tale, Ivan Doig: Doig writes about the West—and wins awards for his stunning novels. "Doig gives us a poignant saga of a boy becoming a man alongside a town and a bygone way of life inching into the modern era." Publisher's Weekly

Bones are Forever, Kathy Reichs: #1 New York Times bestselling author and producer of the Fox hit series Bones, with her new novel featuring forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan.

Hostage, Elie Wiesel: "Nobel Peace Prize winner Wiesel continues to remind us of the brilliant possibilities of the philosophical and political novel." Kirkus

A Hundred Flowers, Gail Tsukiyama: Much anticipated new novel by Tsukiyama about an ordinary family facing extraordinary times at the start of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

The Inn at Rose Harbor, Debbie Macomber: The first installment in a new series by the best-selling author of the Cedar Cove tales returns readers to the beloved Pacific Northwest town, where a new set of characters orbit a bustling bed and breakfast run by a mysterious newcomer.

Last to Die, Tess Gerritsen: "The first in this best-selling series to boast the "Rizzoli & Isles" brand name in the title, this book will appear just as the third season of TNT's successful Rizzoli & Isles TV series is ending." Library Journal

Line of Fire, Stephen White: White wraps up a best-selling series (featuring psychologist Alan Gregory), but not quite yet; this is the first of a two-parter.

No Way to Kill a Lady, Nancy Martin: Like her heroines, the Blackbird Sisters, Martin comes from a distinguished Pennsylvania family whose ancestors include Betsy Ross, a hanging judge, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, Jonathan Evison: Last year Evison was new to BRPL with West of Here. He won a spot in our hearts with his masterful storytelling, and his ability to mesh the small details of life with grand themes. We are excited about this new novel!

The St. Zita Society, Ruth Rendell: Three time Edgar Award Winner Rendell is a master! "Rendell creates characters that seem to forsake the page of a Kindle or a Nook, and live beyond the borders of her novels: readers wonder how they're faring in prison or in mourning." Publisher's Weekly

Sweet Talk, Julie Garwood: A new romantic thriller from one of the masters of the genre.

Time Untime, Sherrilyn Kenyon: Next in the Dark-Hunter series; note that Kenyon has been No. 1 on the New York Times best sellers list an eye-opening 15 times in the last two years! If you haven't tried her now is the time!

Wilder: The Chosen Ones, Christina Dodd: Dodd writes in a variety of genres—historical, romantic suspense, and paranormals. Learn more about her.
