Adult Fiction

Sins of the Fathersby J.A. Jance: J.P. Beaumont has to contend with the fact that no matter how fast you run, you can’t get away from what you’ve done, and that even in retirement, murder is still the name of his game.

The Shape of Nightby Tess Gerritsen: After an unspeakable tragedy in Boston, Ava Collette flees to a remote village in Maine where she rents an old house named Brodie’s Watch. In that isolated seaside mansion, Ava finally feels at peace until she glimpses the long-dead sea captain who still resides there.

He becomes desperate for a helping hand to return him to his beloved owner. But when he’s taken in by a young boy volunteering at a retirement home, it just might be Harvey who does the helping.

That’s So Rude!by Mike Berestain: Sometimes you get up on the wrong side of the bed. But that’s no excuse to be rude, especially for Sister! Soon even Brother is in a sour mood. Good thing Mama Bear is there to set the Bear family straight.
