Prepare for your winter break with a couple of these Bestsellers


Things You Save in a Fire: A Novel by Katherine Center

"The novel is at its best in the fire station...its window into firefighter culture is fascinating. But Things You Save In a Fire has a greater ambition, too: shedding a light on trauma victims and the devastating effects of ignoring emotional fallout from a harrowing experience."

Under Currents: A Novel by Nora Roberts

"[Under Currents] is brilliantly plotted and unrelentingly propulsive. It is a beautifully written story about the fragility of life and the power of the past and the need to fight back... a highly recommended novel for this summer."


Vendetta in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel (In Death, Book 49) by J. D. Robb



"A rousing futuristic hunt for a serial killer of victims no one will mourn."

The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware

"Let’s just say that if you’ve got an Echo, you’re going to unplug it as soon as you finish the book…  What Ware does beautifully is infuse The Turn of the Key with a creepy Gothic sensibility. For all of the novel’s contemporary touches—particularly the house’s malevolent smart technology—she has delivered an old-fashioned horror story, peopled by children with ‘eyes full of malice,’ a dour housekeeper straight out of Rebecca and an inscrutable handyman."

Whisper Network: A Novel by Chandler Baker

“A delicious and timely thriller...Part soapy shocker (one of the characters is keeping a very big secret) and part legal thriller (excerpts from depositions offer a glimpse into the third act). Think Big Little Lies meets the famous 2017 list of men in the media industry accused of sexual harassment.”


Window on the Bay: A Novel by Debbie Macomber

“This heartwarming story sweetly balances friendship and mother-child bonding with romantic love.”



The World That We Knew: A Novel by Alice Hoffman

“[A] hymn to the power of resistance, perseverance and enduring love in dark times…gravely beautiful…Hoffman the storyteller continues to dazzle.”
