A Good Neighborhood by Therese Anne Fowler | St. Martin’s Press
Greetings all,
I could never have anticipated how A Good Neighborhood’s themes would resonate with the strange year that was 2020. Divisions among neighbors. Heightened racial and environmental issues. Struggles for young adults in this troubled country. But the story didn’t foresee all of that; it reflected a history of it. Really, it’s a modern fable about mostly well-intentioned people caught up in difficult situations — a timeless, cautionary tale of love and power that asks big questions about life today.
All the best,
Therese Anne Fowler

Haunted Hibiscus (Tea Shop Mystery #22) by Laura Childs | Berkley
Dear Reader,
This is one of my most action-packed mysteries yet! It’s the week before Halloween and teashop owner Theodosia Browning and her tea sommelier Drayton attend a “literary-themed” haunted house in a dilapidated mansion known as the Gray Ghost. But halfway through their visit, the guest author is found twisting from a third-floor window as purple lights cast flickering images. The police and Theodosia’s boyfriend Detective Riley come screaming in, but when Riley goes to the dead girl’s house, he’s shot! A murder and a shooting seem too coincidental for Theodosia who throws herself into her own shadow investigation. With pacing, plot twists and action reminiscent of a thriller (this is a thrillzy!), it’s no wonder Book Riot named Laura Childs Tea Shop Mysteries to their list of “25 of the All-Time Best Cozy Mystery Series.”
Happy reading!
Laura Childs
