    1. Believing The Lie

      Average rating: 3/5

      Believing The Lie

      By Elizabeth George

      Penguin Group USA, Inc | January 10, 2012 | Hardcover

      After writing sixteen Inspector Lynley novels, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George has millions of fans waiting for the next one. As USA Today put it, "It''s tough to resist George''s storytelling, once hooked." With Believing the Lie, she''s poised to hook countless more.

      Inspector Thomas Lynley is mystified when he''s sent undercover to investigate the death of Ian Cresswell at the request of the man''s uncle, the wealthy and influential Bernard Fairclough. The death has been ruled an accidental drowning, and nothing on the surface indicates otherwise. But when Lynley enlists the help of his friends Simon and Deborah St. James, the trio''s digging soon reveals that the Fairclough clan is awash in secrets, lies, and motives.

      Deborah''s investigation of the prime suspect-Bernard''s prodigal son Nicholas, a recovering drug addict-leads her to Nicholas''s wife, a woman with whom she feels a kinship, a woman as fiercely protective as she is beautiful. Lynley and Simon delve for information from the rest of the family, including the victim''s bitter ex-wife and the man he left her for, and Bernard himself. As the investigation escalates, the Fairclough family''s veneer cracks, with deception and self-delusion threatening to destroy everyone from the Fairclough patriarch to Tim, the troubled son Ian left behind.

    2. Death Comes To Pemberley

      Average rating: 3/5

      Death Comes To Pemberley

      By P.d. James

      Knopf Canada | December 6, 2011 | Hardcover
      In a marvellous, thrilling re-creation of the world of Pride and Prejudice, P.D. James fuses her lifelong passion for the work of Jane Austen with her own great talent for writing crime fiction.

      The year is 1803, and Darcy and Elizabeth have been married for six years. There are now two handsome, healthy sons in the Pemberley nursery, Elizabeth''s beloved sister Jane and her husband, Bingley, live within seventeen miles, the ordered and secure life of Pemberley seems unassailable, and Elizabeth''s happiness in her marriage is complete. But their peace is threatened and old sins and misunderstandings are rekindled on the eve of the annual autumn ball. The Darcys and their guests are preparing to retire for the night when a chaise appears, rocking down the path from Pemberley''s wild woodland, and as it pulls up, Lydia Wickham, an uninvited guest, tumbles out, screaming that her husband has been murdered.

      Death Comes to Pemberley is a powerful work of fiction, as rich in its compelling story, in its evocation of place, and its gripping psychological and emotional insight, as the very best of P. D. James. She brings us back masterfully and with delight to much-loved characters, illuminating the happy but threatened marriage of the Darcys with the excitement and suspense of a brilliantly crafted mystery.

      Nine Dragons

      By Michael Connelly

      Little, Brown And Company | October 13, 2009 | Hardcover
      LAPD Detective Harry Bosch is off the chain in the fastest, fiercest, and highest-stakes case of his life.

      Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L.A. neighborhood, a store Bosch has known for years. The murder of John Li, the store''s owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li''s family that he''ll find the killer.

      The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory. He brings in a detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation--not just of languages but also of the cultural norms and expectations that guided Li''s life. He uncovers a link to a Hong Kong triad, a lethal and far-reaching crime ring that follows many immigrants to their new lives in the U.S.

      And instantly his world explodes. The one good thing in Bosch''s life, the person he holds most dear, is taken from him and Bosch travels to Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he''s lost. In a place known as Nine Dragons, as the city''s Hungry Ghosts festival burns around him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad''s ferocity.

      One for the Money (Movie Tie-In Edition): Movie…

      By Janet Evanovich

      St. Martin's Press | November 22, 2011 | Mass Market Paperbound

      The dynamite blockbuster that started it all-now a major motion picture starring Katherine Heigl as Stephanie Plum!

      ONE FINE MESS
      Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems (since losing her job as a lingerie buyer for a department store). Stephanie needs cash-fast-but times are tough, and soon she's forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family...

      ONE FALSE MOVE
      Stephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie's bail bonding company. She's got no experience. But that doesn't matter. Neither does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got into her pants, to the time Steph hit him with her father's Buick, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water-wanted for murder...

      ONE FOR THE MONEY
      Abject poverty is a great motivator for learning new skills, but being trained in the school of hard knocks by people like psycho prizefighter Benito Ramirez isn't. Still, if Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she'll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight-and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man...

      During an intimate dinner party, a cat burglar breaks into the home of A-list actor Marcus Dowling. When his wife walks in on the thief, the situation quickly teeters out of control, leaving an empty safe and a lifeless body.

      The same night, a woman and her infant child are ruthlessly gunned down in an abandoned garage. The killer hasn''t left a shred of evidence, except for a foreboding and cryptic message: WCF, the letters written in blood-red letters.

      With two deranged killers on the loose Detective Lindsay Boxer calls on the Women''s Murder Club to help her stop the insane killers. But someone is leaking information to the press--details that only those on the inside could know. As allegations fly that Lindsay is the source, she has to wonder--how much she can trust her closest friends?

    1. The Impossible Dead

      The Impossible Dead

      By Ian Rankin

      ORION PUBLISHING GROUP | October 11, 2011 | Trade Paperback
      Malcolm Fox and his team from Internal Affairs are back. They''ve been sent to Fife to investigate whether fellow cops covered up for a corrupt colleague, Detective Paul Carter. Carter has been found guilty of misconduct with his own uncle, also in the force, having proved to be his nephew''s nemesis. But what should be a simple job is soon complicated by intimations of conspiracy and cover-up - and a brutal murder, a murder committed with a weapon that should not even exist. The spiralling investigation takes Fox back in time to 1985, a year of turmoil in British political life. Terrorists intent on a split between Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom were becoming more brazen and ruthless, sending letter-bombs and poisonous spores to government offices, plotting kidnaps and murder, and trying to stay one step ahead of the spies sent to flush them out.

      Fox has a duty to get at the truth, while the body count rises, the clock starts ticking, and he fights for his professional and personal life.

      Smokin' Seventeen: A Stephanie Plum Novel

      By Janet Evanovich

      Random House Publishing Group | November 15, 2011 | Mass Market Paperbound

      Where there's smoke there's fire, and no one knows this better than New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum.
       
      Dead bodies are showing up in shallow graves on the empty construction lot of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds. No one is sure who the killer is, or why the victims have been offed, but what is clear is that Stephanie's name is on the killer's list. Short on time to find the murderer, Stephanie is also under pressure from family and friends to choose between her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and the bad boy in her life, security expert Ranger. Stephanie's mom wants her to dump them both for a former high school football star who's just returned to town. Stephanie's sidekick, Lula, suggests a red-hot boudoir "bake-off." And Joe's old-world grandmother gives Stephanie "the eye," which may mean that it's time to get out of town.

      With a cold-blooded killer after her, a handful of hot men, and a capture list that includes a dancing bear and a senior citizen vampire, Stephanie's life looks like it's about to go up in smoke.

    3. This Body Of Death: An Inspector Lynley Novel

      Average rating: 3/5

      This Body Of Death: An Inspector Lynley Novel

      By ELIZABETH GEORGE

      HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | June 6, 2011 | Hardcover

      New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George is back with a spellbinding tale of mystery and murder featuring Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley.

      On compassionate leave after the murder of his wife, Thomas Lynley is called back to Scotland Yard when the body of a woman is found stabbed and abandoned in an isolated London cemetery. His former team doesn't trust the leadership of their new department chief, Isabelle Ardery, whose management style seems to rub everyone the wrong way. In fact, Lynley may be the sole person who can see beneath his superior officer's hard-as-nails exterior to a hiddenâ€"and possibly attractiveâ€"vulnerability.

      While Lynley works in London, his former colleagues Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata follow the murder trail south to the New Forest. There they discover a beautiful and strange place where animals roam free, the long-lost art of thatching is very much alive, and outsiders are not entirely welcome. What they don't know is that more than one dark secret lurks among the trees, and that their investigation will lead them to an outcome that is both tragic and shocking.

      A multilayered jigsaw puzzle of a story skillfully structured to keep readers guessing until the very end, This Body of Death is a magnificent achievement from a writer at the peak of her powers.

      Dexter By Design: A Novel

      By Jeff Lindsay

      Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group | October 13, 2011 | Hardcover
      The macabre, witty New York Times bestselling series (and inspiration for the #1 Showtime series, Dexter) continues as our darkly lovable killer matches wits with a sadistic artiste-who is creating bizarre murder tableaux of his own all over Miami.

      After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. Married life seems to agree with him: he's devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies are nicely under control. But old habits die hard-and Dexter's work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice…and his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight.

      The discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a Miami beach chair) naturally piques Dexter's curiosity and Miami's finest realize they've got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business.
