Miracle Creek

Angie Kim

"He would've given anything not to be here today."


The Department of Sensitive Crimes

Alexander McCall Smith

"The case that Ulf had mentioned to Dr. Svensson at the end of his last therapy session had started, as many of the department’s cases did, with a simple report from the local police."

The Tale Teller

Anne Hillerman

They All Fall Down

Rachel Howzell Hall

"No one asked me if taking my daughter to the other side of the country was fine."


Metropolis

Philip Kerr

"Mathilde Luz was a good-looking girl all right and still wearing the clothes she’d been murdered in: the hat, the coat, and the dress all from C&A, but no less becoming for that."


Confessions of an Innocent Man

David Dow

"If you ask a lucky person to tell you what happened on the worst day of his life, he can do so without hesitation."
