The Heist

By Janet Evanovich, Lee Goldberg
$28.00
FBI Special Agent Kate O'Hare is known for her fierce dedication and discipline on the job, chasing down the world's most wanted criminals and putting them behind bars. Her boss thinks she is tenacious and ambitious; her friends think she is tough, stubborn, and maybe even a bit obsessed. And while Kate has made quite a name for herself for the past five years, the only name she's cared about is Nicolas Fox--an international crook she wants in more ways than one. 

Audacious, handsome, and dangerously charming, Nicolas Fox is a natural con man, notorious for running elaborate scams on very high-profile people. At first he did it for the money. Now he does it for the thrill. He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail--particularly Kate O'Hare, who has been watching his every move. For Nick, there's no greater rush than being pursued by a beautiful woman . . . even one who aims to lock him up. But just when it seems that Nicolas Fox has been captured for good, he pulls off his greatest con of all: he convinces the FBI to offer him a job, working side by side with Special Agent Kate O'Hare. 

Problem is, teaming up to stop a corrupt investment banker who's hiding on a private island in Indonesia is going to test O'Hare's patience and Fox's skill. Not to mention the skills of their ragtag team made up of flamboyant actors, wanted wheelmen, and Kate's dad. High-speed chases, pirates, and Toblerone bars are all in a day's work . . . if O'Hare and Fox don't kill each other first.

Mysteries with a Supernatural Element

Bristol House (Hardcover)

By Beverly Swerling
$27.95
ISBN-13: 9780670025930
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Viking Adult, 4/2013
Other Editions of this Title

Brenda's Review: Recovering alcoholic and architectural historian Annie Kendall is hired by the Shalom Foundation to travel to London and find several long-lost pieces of Judaica.  Hoping to get her life back on track, Annie is eager to get started.  Her research leads her to year 1535 when a Carthusian monk named Dom Justin (the Jew of Holborn) is believed to have secreted the objects out of England.  The two timelines...one past, one present...intertwine to build an intriguing story.  Well written and very entertaining, I think this is excellent read for fans of C J Sansom and Ariana Franklin.  

Author Beverly Swerling will be here on April 12.  Don't miss this one!

Published: Tor Books, 4/2013
Other Editions of this Title

John's Review: Kowal’s Glamourist Histories combine elements of Regency fiction, espionage, mystery, and a little bit of fantasy.  They’re well researched, and beautifully written.  The books are perfect for fans of Jasper Fforde, Gail Carriger, or any fan of historical fiction. 

Jane and Vincent have returned home to rest. All of London is worried about the unnaturally cold weather, and the Luddite uprising is causing unrest. As the Glamourists work on their latest commission they find themselves drawn into Vincent’s family drama. Jane must also try to find a suitable husband for her younger sister.

Mary Robinette Kowal will sign at MBTB on Wednesday, April 10. 


The Fate of Mercy Alban (Paperback)

By Wendy Webb
$15.99
ISBN-13: 9781401341930
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Voice, 2/2013
Other Editions of this Title
Long-buried family secrets, a packet of old love letters, and a lost manuscript plunge Grace into a decades-old mystery about a scandalous party at Alban House, when a world-famous author took his own life and Grace’s aunt disappeared without a trace. The night has been shrouded in secrecy by the powerful Alban family for all of these years. Her mother intended to tell the truth about that night to a reporter on the very day she died—could it have been murder? Or was she a victim of the supposed Alban curse? Grace soon realizes her family secrets tangle and twist as darkly as the mansion’s secret passages.
John's Review: If you're a fan of gothic fiction you will LOVE this book.  It has all the elements of a great gothic; a big house, family secrets, an old curse, and more that I can't mention because it will spoil the twists.   I can't recommend this highly enough, especially if you're bummed that Barbara Michaels isn't writing anymore!
Wendy Webb will sign at MBTB on Saturday, April 13 !
