Description

Reta Winters, 44-year-old successful author of light summertime fiction, has always considered herself happy, even blessed.

by Arnaldur Indridason

One of the German survivor's leaves the crash site with a suitcase handcuffed to his wrist, and is never seen again. Since that time U.S. military intelligence has attempted and failed several times to find that plane. Now over fifty years later they have found the plane and are willing to go to great lengths to keep it a secret... read the rest of Mara's review.

White Truffles in Winter
by N.M. Kelby
If you have ever worked in a restaurant or are enough of a foodie to recognize the name Escoffier, I would recommend you pick up White Truffles in Winter by N. M. Kelby. This fictionalized account of the life of chef extraordinaire, Auguste Escoffier is a sensual and even lusty recounting of Escoffier in the kitchen as well as his relationships with his wife, poet Delphine Daffis, and his mistress, Sarah Bernhardt... read the rest of Patti's review.
