Michelle's Pick Of The Week

Our Readers' Advisor gives us some of her favourites each week.

Search the unknown of a mystery....

The Ninth Daughter by Barbara Hamilton
In Massachusetts 1773 Abigail Adams unwittingly becomes involved in a murder investigation, a missing friend plus protecting her patriot husband and friends after she finds a dead body at her friends’ house. Abigail unravels a conspiracy carefully to protect the secret organization and their families. Not only a great read but a little bit of history as well.

My Sister's Keeper The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny
Inspector Gamache is called back to Three Pines to investigate a brutal murder in the tiny village. As he arrives to utter chaos, the author exposes us to a bizarre sequence of events unravelling to allow us to feel the horror within the community. The author shows us that things are not always as they seem. A riveting and compelling mystery.

Whisper to the Blood by Dana Stabenow
Kate Shugak of rural Alaska is back in her 16th mystery. Kate finds herself immersed in attacks, murder, corporate takeover, and being appointed the president of the Niniltna Native association. There is nonstop action as Kate works hard to solve the crimes, to fulfill her duties and roll with the punches. The author has given a tense thriller, incredible imagery of Alaska- a very good read.
