Reading is a great escape during these uncertain times. Some new titles include “Perfect Little Children” by Sophie Hannah.

As she watches Flora from across the street she sees something terribly wrong. Ten years have gone by and Flora looks the same, only older. But her children look exactly as they did when they were five and three. How is it possible they are still the same two perfect little children Beth knew more than a decade ago?

Jonathan Kellerman has written “The Museum of Desire.” LAPD Lieutenant Milo Sturgis and psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware are called to investigate an inexplicable massacre at a deserted mansion in Bel Air. In this psychological thriller they encounter a crime so vicious it defies evil.
