January’s roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes Janet Evanovich’s PLUM LOVIN’, a Stephanie Plum "between-the-numbers" novel that finds the bounty hunter in search of a "relationship expert" wanted for armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon; DADDY’S GIRL, a legal thriller from Lisa Scottoline that introduces readers to a law professor whose imperfect but settled world is turned upside down; Jonathan Santlofer’s ANATOMY OF FEAR, a unique work of fiction that mixes prose and pictures to create a breathtakingly original novel of suspense; BODY SURFING by Anita Shreve, in which a live-in tutor finds herself caught up in a destructive web of old tensions and bitter divisions; PUSS ’N CAHOOTS, Rita Mae Brown’s 14th Mrs. Murphy mystery (co-written with her feline partner-in-crime-detection, Sneaky Pie Brown); and THE FRIDAY NIGHT KNITTING CLUB, Kate Jacobs’s debut novel that revolves around a knitting group whose members gather once a week to work on their latest projects and temporarily escape their lives.
Among our nonfiction highlights are A WOMAN IN CHARGE, an exhaustively detailed biography of Hillary Rodham Clinton by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Carl Bernstein; THE LONG ROAD HOME, in which veteran ABC News reporter Martha Raddatz delivers a grim yet inspiring account of a single battle in the Iraq war from the perspective of the soldiers who fought in it; LOVE YOU, MEAN IT, an incredibly moving story of four women who come together to form a support group called the Widows’ Club following the deaths of their husbands on September 11, 2001; and SETTING THE TABLE, in which restauranteur Danny Meyer shares the groundbreaking business philosophy that serves as the foundation for every success he has achieved: "the virtuous cycle of enlightened hospitality."
