Fiction
Bloodmoney by David Ignatius. Ignatius was on the radio talking about this "CIA in Pakistan" novel and how current events match much of the plot. Plot: CIA agents getting killed and lady looking into it finds they are funded by insider trading.
Ambush Creek by Phil Dunlap. U.S. Marshall in Arid-zona is looking for three shifty bounty hunters. Cover photo has a really shiny revolver.
Spur and the Sash: Middle Tennessee, 1865 by Robert Grede. Wounded Union soldier is assigned to protect a farm in rural Tennessee at the end of the Civil War. Wisconsin author is from Milwaukee area. I think.
The Collaborator by Gerald Seymour. I like Seymor's thrillers. He does good work. This one has an Italian college student in London willing to give up her brother, a killer for the Naples mafia.
Troubled Man by Henning Mankell. "A Kurt Wallender Novel." Stockholm, Sweden cop looks into the disappearance of a naval officer.
Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen. Must be a chick book. The cover model has her back to the camera, her hair is tied up, she is wearing some summer dress with thin shoulder straps. There are flower blossoms all over the cover.
Call Me Irresistible by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Romance by a popular author. Her other books have checked out 222 times.
Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown. This must be about my wife and her siblings. Ha! That joke doesn't get old.
Claire Dewitt and the City of the Dead by Sara Gran. Gran does good work. She and Abbott, Junior share a blog. A mystery novel.
Detroit Electric Scheme by D.E. Johnson. A good review from Booklist "The surprise ending leaves you gasping and shaking your head at Johnson’s masterful plotting and the menacing tension that forces otherwise good characters to behave despicably. Every bit as powerful as Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley series, this gem of a debut showcases an author to watch very closely."
Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz and David Hayward. Here's info on the book tour.
Bury Your Dead by Louis Penny. Another murder mystery in Quebec.
Great Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe by Edgar Allen Poe. I did not know he may have died from rabies.
Quick and the Thread by Amanda Lee. Paperback mystery. I was Entertainment Weekly's summer issue and they were listing upcoming paperbacks. Each one was the paperback printing of a hardcover. No original paperbacks listed at all.
My One and Only by Kristan Higgins. Romance with a small dog on the cover.
