Hot days and sun are upon us. We hope everyone has a great summer and

What We're Reading ........


Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen

Hiaasen weaves another South Florida crime novel that kicks off
with some tourists hauling in a severed arm on their charter fishing
trip. Then it really gets weird. With a crazy cast of characters only he
could think up. Bad Monkey is a satisfying, and fun
summer read.

-Bob

 
The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by Neil Gaiman:
                                Seemingly simple tale about a friendless boy;
                                   full of magic yet entirely believable and moving
                                          You will find yourself re-reading this book
    and asking "how does Gaiman do it?"
                                                       The spare sentences convey
completely new worlds.
 A master storyteller. 
 Read it, you'll love it!
-Kim







Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead
An easy read, at times funny and disturbing, about a
dysfunctional family and cast of characters
 gathering for a wedding on an island
off the New England coast.

 -Sue


                                    


The Third Gate by Lincoln Child

A great thriller featuring murder, mayhem and ancient Egyptian
 curses that takes place in the largest swamp in the world in the
   middle of the Nile. Once you start it you may just finish it in one
     sitting!

-Lisa


Kill Room by Jeffrey Deaver.
 Lincoln Rhyme, a forensic expert, is mentally &
physically challenged when asked to solve a
case with a sniper and a knife-wielding assassin.
 Great forensics, a sick assassin, and Rhyme's
 unique sense of humor.

  No  Mistakes: How You Can Change Adversity Into Abundance  

     No Mistakes contains over twenty-five uplifting chapters, each contributed by a different author, that show how some of their darkest moments ultimately led to their greatest blessings. No Mistakes offers readers a chance to look beyond the mentality of "Why is this happening to me?" and instead invites readers to ask " How does this situation serve my higher good?"

Steven Noble 

  author of: Lost Generations  

 

It's the story of Dr. Jack Del Rio who tries to forget about the emergency care of a certain young woman that spun out of control twenty years ago.  At that time, a baby was missing, a young woman was fighting for her life, and Jack was unable to convince anyone a crime had most certainly occurred.  After twenty years a new team of detectives is hot on the trail of a dead baby discovered in a house in Newport, RI that dates back to that infamous week. Jack must now relive that tragic week in order to help the detectives, but what Jack doesn't realize is that his medical expertise is just what the detectives need to turn him into a suspect and defendant.
