FICTION
Peace Like a River / Leif Enger
FIC, LT
Three children growing up without a mom live with their dad. A family tragedy occurs when the eldest son kills someone, and the family then has to deal with it, as well accepting a “new” mom in the family. I loved this family. I had to read the book again as soon as I finished it the first time.
(Lillian, clerk at CLL)
Raining Cat Sitters and Dogs / Blaize Clement
FIC, LT
Meet Dixie Hemingway, cop turned pet-sitter, who cares for chatty parrots, finicky felines, and rehabilitated racing dogs, and solves crimes in an exotic Florida setting. This is the fifth book in an entertaining, humorous series.
(Beth from CMM)
A Reliable Wife: A Novel / Robert Goolrick
BCD, FIC, LT
A man in 1907 rural Wisconsin places an advertisement for a “reliable wife”. This is a slow, stylized story which turns into a smoldering Gothic tale where nothing is as it seems.
(Ruth from SCS)
This book gets off to a slow start but builds into an intriguing and enjoyable read. Set in Wisconsin in 1907, the characters and story develop into what becomes a suspenseful and unexpected ending.
(Vicki from CLL)

Something Wicked This Way Comes / Ray Bradbury
BCD, EB, FIC, LT
