The Darkest Evening by Ann Cleeves

Inspector Vera Stanhope, driving home in a blizzard, discovers an abandoned car with an infant in it. Rescuing the baby brings Vera into a tangled web of her own upper class relatives, and a murder. Vera is a mass of contradictions - a middle aged woman, cranky and disheveled, but obsessed with her police work and with finding the murderer of a young single mother. This mystery is a great read. Vera is realistic and her loyal team is well developed. Added bonus-- the Northumberland setting. ~ Mary R.



Loved this book! Interesting story about young women killed in Salem, MA who were related to victims of the witch hysteria of the 1600s. Looking forward to more books by this author. ~ Miriam V.


Notorious Nineteen by Janet Evanovich 

Fun read with bounty hunter Stefanie Plum. Gets into her usual troubles, looses a few cars, and gets the criminal in the end. Good, relaxing, fun read. ~ Karen S.



Gone for Good by Harlan Coben 

What do you do when you find a current picture of your dead brother? What happened to your ex-girlfriend all those years ago? Who killed her? And who is attacking people you care about now? This book was one that could not easily be put down. ~ Jean P.
