Adult Fiction
Mr. Monk on the Road by Lee Goldberg. Monk drugs his agoraphobic brother and brings him along on a RV based road trip. Goldberg would rather sell this as an ebook. Does Shalhoub get paid for each book cover or did he sign his rights away like Princess Leia?
Caveat Emptor by Ruth Downie. Romam doctor Gaius Ruso is back in Britannia and stuck investigator a missing tax man. I've never read one of these novels but will. If you like these try out the novels of Steven Saylor (no relation).
Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart.
The Neighbors Are Watching by Debra Ginsberg. Sounds like you should move.
Damage by John Lescroart. Orange cover.
Other Eyes by Barbara D'Amato. Author investigating drug use by ancient cultures has killer after her when she might be finding a cure for drug addiction.
Gideon's War by Howard Gordon. Diplomatic negotiator is sent to escort his brother, a rogue agent, back to the U.S. Things go wrong.
Love Letters by Katie Fforde. Chickk Bookk.
Stiltsville by Susanna Daniel. Gal visits and then moves to the neighborhood of homes built on pilings in Miami's Biscayne Bay. Author lives in Madison. Looks like author did her own photo for the bio. I liked that episode of Miami Vice where they set a shootout in Stiltsville. Advance to the last chapter at 31:30. Oh, heck, here it is anyway.
Janus Stone by Elly Griffiths. That sounds like a British name. Yep, she "lives Brighton, on the English coast."
Strategic Moves by Stuart Woods.
The Nomination by William G. Tapply. Supreme Court nominee sets out to clear out the skeletons in his closet with the help of a paid murderer.

Snow and a Critique of Winter Footwear
Snow
We received about 5" of snow yesterday and the night before.
Commons Park across the street from the library.
Library Page coming in after an early release from school due to the snow.
Critique
This was the Page's shoe selection for the day. Her feet were soaked and I had no sympathy.
