Everhart writes about the tension between mother and daughter with bravery and wit, unearthing the
little things that can seesaw a relationship between trust and resentment. And Im sure I wont be the only
one who sees glimpses of Harper Lees young Scout in Dixies stubbornness and naivet. Like To Kill a

labeled as charming. But there is a wistful magic in seeing the world again through a childs viewpoint,
even if that world is not as shiny and innocent as one would hope.

To read Michelle Frances The Girlfriend is to immerse yourself in two British mindsets. One is the class
system, so nuanced, so nevertheless powerful it denies entry to those not privileged to be raised in it. The
second is the convenient marriage, the reluctance to divorce no matter how sterile (or adulterous) it lives.
How this plays out forms the plot, with deadly twist, of The Girlfriend.

DEAD CALM
A Mattie Winston Mystery
Annelise Ryan
As the ninth installment in USA Today bestselling author Annelise Ryans acclaimed
series opens, Mattie Winston, the wry, often politically incorrect, nurse turned
coroner and mother of a toddler, is adjusting to life as the newly married wife of
homicide detective Steve Hurley. But the honeymoon will have to wait when the

wrong side of town

As deputy medical examiner and homicide detective respectively, the couple are dispatched to a grisly crime scene at the Grizzly Motel, a seedy
joint for illicit liaisons on the outskirts of Sorenson, Wisconsin. A man and woman are found dead next to each other in bed in what initially
appears to be a grim but straightforward murder-suicide. An affair gone sour?

has had a maternal figure touch her life. In this stand-alone hardcover, Charlotte
Hubbard celebrates the joys and challenges of motherhood, setting her inspiring
tale amid the warmth and tradition of an Amish Missouri farm community.

For Leah Otto, marrying Jude Shetler is a long-held dream come true. As a young girl, she was captivated by his good looks and talent as an
auctioneer. When Jude, now a widower with three children, begins to court her, Leah doesnt hesitate. Other men may not appreciate her tomboy
ways, but Jude values Leahs practical nature and her skill with the animals she tends, and both enter the marriage with joy and optimism.

boundaries and taking far too many risks, while five-year-old Stevie deeply misses his mother. Leah, more at ease in a barn tending her goats and
chickens than in a kitchen, struggles with her housekeeping duties.

Dorothy Marcic
The killer was behind barsa woman who had confessed to the cold-blooded
murder of her husband. But Dorothy Marcic suspected a more sinister tale at the
heart of her beloved uncles violent death. And nothing would stop her from
getting to the truth.

The brutal murder of LaVerne Stordock, a respected family man and former police detective, shocked the residents of his rural Wisconsin
community. On the surface, the case seemed closed with the confession of Stordocks second wife, Suzanne. But the trail of secrets and lies
that began with his death did not end with his widows conviction.
Ever since she was a teenager, Dorothy Marcic was haunted by unresolved questions surrounding the killing of her beloved uncle. Though she
led a busy life as a playwright, theatrical producer, and university professor, she couldnt put her doubts to restespecially after the conniving

In 2014, Marcic embarked on a twoyear mission to uncover the truth. She collected and studied court documents, talked to more than 60
people connected to the case, and spent more than 14 hours interviewing the alleged killer. The more she investigated, the clearer the picture

THE MANSON WOMEN AND ME
Nikki Meredith
A stunning and insightful look at one of the most notorious murders of the 20th
centuryand into the very heart of evil. Broadcast journalist and psychotherapist
Nikki Meredith reveals her surprising personal relationships with two of the
women involved in the Manson familys Tate/LaBianca murders. Exploring the
dark theme of the human capacity for cruelty, she follows in the tradition of
bestselling authors Katherine Ramsland and Jeffrey Toobin in going behind the
headlines to find the deper, more shocking truth.

In the summer of 1969, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel carried out horrific acts of butchery on the orders of the charismatic cult leader
Charles Manson. At their murder trial the following year, lead prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi described the two so-called Manson Women as human
monsters. But to anyone who knew them growing up, they were bright, promising girls, seemingly incapable of such an unfathomable crime.
Award-winning journalist Nikki Meredith began visiting Van Houten and Krenwinkel in prison to discover how they had changed during their
