“The Alibi Man” by Tami Hoag
 |
| “I think she started out as a romance writer, and I don’t really like any of those books. But, she wrote “The Alibi Man” and “Dark Horse,” both of which are murder mysteries. Super easy reads.” – Kiki Dreyer Burke, public relations manager |
“The Royal We”
by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan
 |
| “Basically, this is just “chick lit” loosely based on Will and Kate’s famous royal relationship. It’s so light and delightfully fluffy, and I loved every second of it.” – Nina Frondorf, children’s services programmer, Newport Branch |
“The Secret History” by Donna Tartt
 |
| “I love the New England Ivy College setting, and the exquisite character development in this book. Plus, it’s just a really good story.” – JC Morgan, director |
“Original Sin” by P.D. James
 |
| “These are centered around macabre murders.” – Dawna Haupt, library accountant |
“Origin” by Dan Brown
 |
| “Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A Harvard symbology professor is thrust into a fast-paced adventure in which he has to gather clues with the help of a smart, beautiful partner (plus, as and added bonus in “Origin,” an A.I. friend) in a fascinating part of the world to unlocks a revolutionary discovery about life, religion and science with a totally unpredictable twist at the end. Rinse and repeat. Needless to say, I’m a sucker for it.” – Jim Pleshinger, PR specialist |
“The Charley Davidson” series by Darynda Jones
 |
|
“Charley Davidson is a part-time private investigator and a full-time grim reaper. In the first novel, she is trying to figure out the identity of the man in the black cloak who has followed and protected her since birth.” |
