The cover of One Fine Day You're Gonna Die  
This month's featured title is One Fine Day You're Gonna Die by Gail Bowen.

The Vancouver Sun said, "Gail Bowen's second psychological thriller for Orca's Rapid Reads imprint (targeted at adult readers wanting a short, involving read) most definitely has teen crossover appeal...[The] first-person narration is smooth, smart, dryly self-deprecating and economical...The novel, like Bowen's popular Joanne Kilbourn amateur detective series, explores the infinitely variable, intractable mystery of relationships. It is not only a rapid read, but one that is gripping and thoughtful."
