WORMWOOD by Susan Wittig Albert — China Bayles’ friends and family are urging her to get some rest — and a Kentucky Shaker village seems the ideal place for it. But the restored modern version of the village, striving to become a popular tourist attraction, is plagued with misfortune and strife — some of it the likely result of sabotage. China and her friend Martha are hoping to get to the bottom of it. However, the case appears simpler at first than it is. There is tension behind the serene exterior. And after a shocking death occurs during her stay, China will plunge into the archives of another time to connect the sins of the past with a modern-day murder.
CAT POWER: A GOOD WOMAN by Elizabeth Goodman — Chan Marshall’s stark lyrics, minimal arrangements and wounded, smoky vocals were an instant indie hit in the '90s, but her mental instability nearly derailed her career. How this sensitive but headstrong Georgian daughter of an unstable mother and a relatively unknown musician father managed to make it big, burn out and rise up again to become not only the darling of the indie music scene, but also a fashion and Hollywood icon, is the fabric of this irresistible story. Covering her musical beginnings in the south and her booze-soaked rise to fame in New York City to her eventual breakdown and subsequent reclamation of herself and her music, it elves into the soul of this fragile but ferociously gifted young talent.
THE LAST SECRET by Mary McGarry Morris — Nora Hammond is a woman blessed with the perfect life: a charming husband, two bright teenage children, a successful career in the family’s newspaper business and an esteemed role in the charity work of her New England town. But Nora’s comfortable existence threatens to unravel when she learns of her husband’s longtime affair — and when the specter of a sordid incident from her youth returns with terrifying force. Confronted by shame and betrayal, Nora suddenly feels dangerously alone. With no one to turn to, she becomes easy prey to a ghost from her past: the cunning, relentless Eddie Hawkins.
