Happy Thanksgiving!
2016 has been a doozy so far with cicadas, oak mites, water damage, construction, and a presidential campaign the likes of which have never been seen. As we head towards a new year, I choose to focus on the things I'm thankful for: stores like Target realizing that Thanksgiving is a sacred holiday and staying closed; Main Street construction wrapping up for the winter before (fingers crossed) Thanksgiving weekend; having my brother home for the first time in three years and having our entire immediate family together for the first time in over eight years; my mom's turkey gravy and pumpkin pie; my Learned Owl family that has been working so hard to get the store ready for the holiday season; our amazingly supportive family, friends, and community that allow us to do what we love every day.
Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday, and looking forward to seeing you in the store soon. Happy reading!
- Kate

by Camilla Lackberg
[Pegasus Books, $25.95]
It seems Sverin was a man whom everybody liked yet nobody really knew - a man with something to hide. His high school sweetheart, Nathalie, has just returned to Fjallbacka with her five-year-old son; perhaps she can shed some light on who Sverin really was. But Nathalie has her own secret. If it's discovered, she will lose her only child. As the investigation stalls, the police have many questions, but there is only one that matters: Is there anything a mother would not do to protect her child?
by Emily Littlejohn
[Minotaur Books, $25.99]
Secrets and lies can't stay buried forever in Cedar Valley. In the summer, hikers and campers pack the small Colorado town's meadows and fields. And in the winter, skiers and snowboarders take over the mountains. Season by season, year after year, time passes and the lies, like the aspens and evergreens that surround the town, take root and spread deep. Now someone has uncovered the lies, and it is his murder that continues a chain of events that began almost forty years ago. Detective Gemma Monroe's investigation takes her from the seedy grounds of a traveling circus to the powerful homes of those who would control Cedar Valley's future.
