A new book I highly recommend is Jamie Ford’s “Love and Other Consolation Prizes.” This book, inspired by a true story, tells the story of half-Chinese orphan Ernest Young who was chosen to be raffled off to a good home at the 1909 World’s Fair in Seattle. The Book Club group enjoyed this one!
“Without Warning” is a new J.B. Collins novel by Joel C. Rosenberg. The world is waiting to see how the most powerful nation on earth will respond to the ISIS terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol building during the State of the Union address.
A new nonfiction work is “Code Girls: The Untold Story if the American Women Code Breakers of World War II” by Liza Mundy.
Harlan Coben has written “Don’t Let Go.” New Jersey detective “Nap” Dumas has never truly recovered from the trauma he experienced his senior year of high school. His twin brother, Leo, and Leo’s girlfriend were found dead on the railroad tracks. Also Nap’s girlfriend, Maura, broke up with him and then disappeared. Nap has been searching for Maura and the reason for his brother’s death for fifteen years. The truth he uncovers leads to more questions with dark and sinister answers.
“Sleeping Beauties” is the new novel by Stephen and Owen King. In this futuristic story set in a small Appalachian town women go to sleep and are shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. They then go to a place filled with peace and harmony. All except Eve Black who appears to be immune. The men are divided about her - is she a medical anomaly or a demon? This leads to violence in an all male world.
