January 2009

January’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes KILLER HEAT by Linda Fairstein, a page-turning mix of cutting-edge legal issues and forensics, New York City history and spine-tingling suspense; Janet Evanovich’s PLUM LUCKY, a Stephanie Plum Between-the-Numbers holiday treat celebrating St. Patrick's Day, complete with little men in green, a racehorse, Atlantic City casinos and the mysterious Diesel; FIREFLY LANE, in which Kristin Hannah follows accomplished, independent Tully Hart and loyal, capable Kate Mularkey through three-and-a-half decades of friendship; THINGS I WANT MY DAUGHTERS TO KNOW, Elizabeth Noble’s heartfelt novel that celebrates the love between a dying mother and her daughters and the endless possibilities of life; THE WINTER ROSE, the second book in Jennifer Donnelly’s The Tea Rose trilogy that follows the story of Charlie Finnegan (now Sid Malone) and aristocrat India Selwyn Jones; and THE GEOGRAPHY OF BLISS, which takes readers from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in Eric Weiner’s case, moments of "un-unhappiness."
