Read to Death at the Lakeside Library

By: Holly Danvers

Perfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Ellery Adams, Rain Wilmot must find a novel solution in order to catch another killer—before her book club members are picked off one by one. Summer is in full swing as tourists flock back to the Northwoods and travel to Lofty Pines, Wisconsin. For Rain Wilmot, owner of the Lakeside Library, this is the perfect opportunity to bring back her mother’s summer book club. But the summer sun starts to really heat up when one of the club’s members, Lily Redlin, is found dead in her own home not long after the first meeting. Alongside her sidekick and neighbor Julia Reynolds and the charming Jace Lowe, Rain discovers that the murder is seemingly inspired by the book the club recently discussed Agatha Christie’s classic mystery novel Sparkling Cyanide. But who would kill Lily, and more importantly, why? The deeper Rain dives into the story, the more confusing and complicated the plot becomes. Was Lily murdered to cover up a tragic accident that occurred years ago involving an old classmate? Or were the rumors true—did Lily really possess a priceless original Laura Ingles Wilder manuscript and someone killed her for it? And what about the mysterious letter Lily received just before her death from a supposed long-lost relative? Was it a hoax? With a long list of suspects and motives, Rain realizes that all leads come back to people involved in the book club. Rain and her friends take a page from Agatha Christie’s book by hosting a reenactment of the club’s first meeting to flush out the killer. Will Rain’s plan succeed—or will this librarian’s book be checked out for good?

Time and Time Again

By: Dennis Danvers

Author of Circuit of Heaven and End of Days Some dream the unimaginable. Others dare to live it… When love begins to border on objection. Marion Mead is researching her new novel when the wealthy and mysterious Raymond Lord invites her to his restored plantation in rural Virginia. Marion's book is based on a true story about an 18th-century woman who deserted her husband to run off with a charming yet murderous thief, and Raymond possesses a journal written by the heroine's great-granddaughter. But when Marion arrives at Greenville plantation, she is thunderstruck by her sudden attraction to her host. Not since her husband's tragic death four years before has she felt such passion; Raymond is the most beautiful man she has ever met, and he fully returns her ardor. She knows instantly that they will...they must...become lovers.... But, as they collaborate on her novel, an unquiet chill stirs in her heart. Events that happened centuries ago begin to echo in Marion's own life, and her lover is suddenly a stranger. “I would know you anywhere, anytime,” he whispers to her darkly. “I am not who you think I am,” he warns. Haunting threads of the past seem to be weaving their way into the present...and Marion must try desperately to alter fate before she loses her love...or her very life. “Danvers is a polished writer…. Time and Time Again is a love story…[that] says volumes about the power of love and the limits of imagination.”—Teresa Ducato, Booklist “Dennis Danvers is fast becoming one of the great suspense writers of today….If you enjoyed Ghost, you will delight in this fast-paced tale.” —Harriet Klausner, The Talisman “Ingenious…original…I was reminded of Laura, Rebecca, and Wuthering Heights….” —Tom De Haven, author of Funny Papers

The Watch

By: Dennis Danvers

DENNIS DANVERS is the author of the acclaimed novels Circuit of Heaven, The Fourth World, End of Days, Wilderness, and Time and Time Again. An ambitious and compelling novel, The Watch tells the story of Peter Alexeivich Kropotkin, a former prince who renounced his riches to become an anarchist, and his deathbed pact with the mysterious visitor who gives Peter a new life in the future—a seeming miracle with a darker edge that soon comes into focus. Praise for THE WATCH "[A] time-travel romp that offers fresh occasion for the philosophical musings that undergirded his earlier novels. . . . He wrings genuine emotion from a decision that Kropotkin must make when given the chance to bring his theoretical ideas to fruition, at a price that calls into question his deepest ethical beliefs."—New York Times Book Review "Danvers' look at Richmond through Kropotkin's eyes is a delight. . . . [His] evident enthusiasm for Kropotkin and his philosophy of mutual aid are the spark to a passionate and charming book." —Denver Post "Clearly, subtly, agreeably articulated. Danvers spins a grand yarn."—Kirkus Reviews "As entertaining as it is enlightening, [The Watch] is Danvers' best yet." —Richmond Times-Dispatch
