ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE by Louise Penny

“Series devotees will revel in both Penny’s evocation of Paris—every bit as sumptuous as her rendering of Three Pines—and in the increased role she allots to librarian Reine-Marie, whose research skills are crucial to untying the Gordian knot at the mystery’s core.”–Booklist, starred review

THE DARKEST EVENING by Ann Cleeves

“This fair-play mystery brims with fully developed suspects and motives that are hidden in plain sight. Skillful misdirection masks the killer’s identity. This page-turner is must reading for fans as well as newcomers.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

JACK by Marilynne Robinson

“An elegantly written proof of the thesis that love conquers all—but not without considerable pain.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Myriad manifestations of pain are evoked, but here, too, are beauty, humor, mystery, and joy as Robinson holds us rapt with the exactitude of her perceptions and the exhilaration of her hymnal cadence, and so gracefully elucidates the complex sorrows and wonders of life and spirit.”–Booklist, starred review

TO SLEEP IN A SEA OF STARS by Christopher Paolini
