front of the library!
Cat
in a Red Hot Rage by Carole Nelson Douglas, finds Temple Barr
and Midnight Louie up to their tails in froufrou, chapeaux, and murder
when the Red Hat Sisterhood convention hits Las Vegas. After a woman
is found strangled with an official Red Hat Sisterhood purple scarf,
and Temple's landlady Electra is accused of the murder, she begs
amateur sleuth Temple to find the real killer by posing as a
pink-hatter, an under-fifty member.
American
Outrage by Tim Green, follows Jake Carlson, one of the
nation's top television journalists. Jake is used to dragging himself
through the dirt to get to the truth, but when his adopted son, Sam,
asks him to help find his birth mother, Jake is stunned by the ugly
secrets he unearths: an international crime syndicate, a child
trafficking ring, and a corrupt politician. Initially galvanized by a
career-making exclusive, Jake--and his son--are soon the victims of
brutal violence and Jake realizes some sins of the past should never
be uncovered.
Dream
When You're Feeling Blue by Elizabeth Berg, is the story of
three sisters living in Chicago at the time of World War II, their
lively Irish family, and the men they love.
In The
Blue Bottle Club by Penelope J. Stokes, four friends gather in
a cold, dusty attic on Christmas day in the wake of the depression of
1929 to make a solemn pact, placing tiny pieces of paper holding their
life wishes into a blue bottle. Life takes the girls' dreams of love,
fame, and success on a twisted path of difficulty caused by seduction,
betrayal, and loss--and nothing turns out as expected. Sixty-five
years later, local news reporter Brendan Delaney stumbles upon the
bottle, discovering the most meaningful story of her career and
possibly the meaning missing from her own life.
Ten
Thousand Charms by Allison Pittman, follows the lives of
Gloria, a former prostitute who has a son by a man who will never know
or care, and John MacGregan, a miner left with a newborn daughter when
his wife died during childbirth. They strike a bargain: Gloria will
care for little Kate McGregan and John will raise her son, Danny--but
marriage isn't mentioned. When John seeks his fortune in the new
Oregon Territory, Gloria, the children go with him. Over time, Gloria
pretends that her dreams of her own family have come true--but when
her fantasy turns to fear, where will she turn for comfort and the
love she longs for?
