Here are the notable new book releases for Tuesday, January 7th:
Our own Mamie Potter devoured this new mystery: “While on retreat in the North Carolina mountains, my book of choice was a mystery. The opioid crisis is a big player in this story of a policewoman, Mickey, searching for her sister Kacey through the seamy side of Philadelphia. Women are being murdered there, and the suspects are many, including some of the supposed good guys. The complexity and complications of the sisters’ relationship deepen throughout the book. There were several twists and turns I didn’t see coming, especially the identity of the murderer. It was a great book to read voraciously as the rain, wind, and cold drove us indoors for a good part of the week.”
Assistant Manager Amber Brown is very excited for the latest in the Wayward Children novella series: “Seanan McGuire strikes again in her latest installment of what is rapidly becoming my favorite series! We get to visit Jack and Jill in their world to see what's happened since Jack carried her dead twin back through their door, and Jack is joined by some friends from the School for Wayward Children. Such a short book, yet McGuire still manages to also tackle issues of self-image and obsessive-compulsive disorder in a thoughtful, progressive way. I try to not choose favorites within a series, but this one is definitely near the top.”
