Yesterday during Library Journal's "Editor's Picks" webinar, our very own Jen Enderlin (Vice President and Associate Publisher, St. Martin's Press) and Kelley Ragland (Editorial Director, Minotaur Books) gushed about the following four summer titles that they're incredibly excited to be working on:
THE CARETAKER
A.X. Ahmad
Coming in May!
A disgraced Sikh Indian Army captain becomes ensnared in a U.S. Senator's shadowy world while working as a caretaker on the Senator's estate.
"Weaving together Singh’s Sikh faith with very personal moments, taut action sequences, and events with international significance, Ahmad’s thriller should have broad appeal." -Library Journal (starred review)
"Beyond the masterfully crafted high-adrenaline story, readers will be fascinated by Ranjit's Sikh faith, rarely seen in American fiction." -Booklist (starred review)
Download our Spring 2013 Debut Chapter E-Sampler to starting reading THE CARETAKER now!
ALWAYS WATCHING
Chevy Stevens
Coming in June!
Family secrets and missing memories abound in the latest from the New York Times bestselling author.
"Real psychological thrills from the author of the best-selling STILL MISSING." -Library Journal
The e-galley of ALWAYS WATCHING is available to download from Edelweiss now. Get whitelisted!
LADIES' NIGHT
Mary Kay Andrews
Coming in June!
The perfect beach read about lifestyle blogger Grace Stanton whose life torpedos after she drives her cheating husband's pricey sports car straight into the family swimming pool.
"Bound to be big." -Library Journal
LOST
S.J. Bolton
Coming in June!
A killer is taunting the cops, and London police officer Lacey Flint must pull herself together if she wants to help before it's too late.
"Pay attention to Bolton, a two-time Mary Higgins Clark Award winner and an ITW Thriller Award, CWA Gold Dagger, and Barry Award nominee." -Library Journal
Read Bolton's article on Goodreads called "Why We Need Our Libraries."
We'll post a link to the archived webinar as soon as it becomes available.

If you missed Booklist's Book Group Buzz webinar (for shame!), we've got the scoop for you until the webinar is archived.
You can download the full title list from all publishers here. (Warning! The excel file downloads immediately.)
All of our buzzed books are shown above, but here are a few snippets from Talia's buzz to tempt you to tune in next time:
"What do
Edith Wharton, Daphne du Maurier, Jane Austen, "Upstairs, Downstairs," and
People magazine have in common? THE AMERICAN HEIRESS has been compared to all
of them." On THE AMERICAN HEIRESS
"A dead mother. An abusive father. A plot to escape. A sister has been left behind!" On THE SISTERS
"I have to take a second to thank Julia for writing some steamy moments between Reverend Claire and Chief of Police Russ. What could be better?" On ONE WAS A SOLDIER
"If you
have a puppy, had a puppy, or have puppy-owning friends, you must start a
puppy book club just to read this book." On THE PUPPY DIARIES
"Are we
looking at those kittens? Hello? Kittens anyone?!" On BEST FRIENDS, OCCASIONAL ENEMIES
Check out our dedicated book club website, Reading Group Gold, for more recommendations.

If you missed Booklist's "Beyond Bestsellers: High-Demand Mysteries in Libraries" webinar, then you missed some very enthusiastic mystery recommendations from our very own, Talia, but don't fret! The webmasters over on the Booklist site just posted an archived recording of the entire presentation (find it here).
Readers want more than just bestsellers, says Readers' Advisory expert and Booklist columnist Joyce Saricks, and librarians have an obligation to alert their patrons to wonderful authors who don't necessarily top the sales charts. Saricks will share her discoveries about what really circulates and how librarians can help spread the news. Representatives from four publishers—Macmillan, Severn House, AudioGO, and Felony & Mayhem—will preview the best titles from their forthcoming lists. Booklist Online Senior Editor Keir Graff moderates.
