This is a delightful book! I devoured it in one sitting. It's a wonderful collection of letters between the author and employees of a bookstore in London.

This is the third in a series which really should be read in sequence....the other two being A Can of Peas and Dandelions in a Jelly Jar. It's a wonderful series revolving around family and farming in the midwest.

The Beach House is a breathtaking legal thriller of deceit and revenge with a finale so shocking, it could only have come from the mind of James Patterson.

From the back of the book: Jonathan Argyll has finally done something right...he's sold an overpriced Titian to a well-endowed museum in L. A. Not bad for an art dealer who thinks selling paintings is the most unpleasant part of his job. And never mind that the Moresby Museum is known more for tackiness than for taste. Argyll's just anxious for the deal to be done...and he's come to L. A. to drop off the painting and pick up the check. But it turns out there are a few devils loose in the City of Angels. Like the sneaky art dealer whom Argyll suspects of smuggling a Bernini bust out of Italy. And the museum's imperious owner, who's got a lot more money than sense...and is murdered right before both the smuggler and the bust disappear..

From the back of the book: The Herdmans were absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. They lied and stole and smoked cigars (even the girls) and talked dirty and hit little kids and cussed their teachers and took the name of the Lord in vain. So it surprised just about everybody when they decided to take part in the town's Christmas pageant.
The Herdmans had never heard of the Christmas story, but the way they interpreted it, you'd think the story of Jesus came right out of the F.B.I. files. (They called the Wise Men a bunch of dirty spies.) It was a Christmas pageant to remember.

This is an extra copy I picked up at the library to have for trade. I have not read it but hear it's a great read. From Publishers Weekly: "(This) big-hearted novel ...is populated with many of the same characters readers found endearing the first time around: and the story of a mother grappling with grief over the loss of a child is genuinely moving."

"Stuart Woods, famous for his Stone Barrington private eye novels, has created a whole new series with its own unique voice. The Holly Barker police procedurals are fun to read because the author imbues a subtle sense of humor in many of the characters....Mr. Woods just keeps getting better with each book he writes."

Body Detectives is an introduction to the five senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. The simple rhyming text tells us how we learn about the world from our eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin.

From the back cover:
He sat quietly in his soundproof, windowless basement trophy room, surrounded by the spoils of his hunt, planning his next in painstaking detail. The game required restraint, vigilance. But he hadn't thought twice about the pseudonymous letters he'd sent to Thomas Edward Bender on Death Row. In Bender he'd seen his soul-mate. But Bender was caught. Howard Michael Starr-man of a thousand faces, who wielded his knife like an artist, leaving no traces at all---was free....
Adam Reed witnessed Bender's execution. Now as he sorted through Bender's last effects, preparing to write his biography, he found letters signed "Michael Sturgess." P.O.B. Santa Rosa,California. Sturgess was more than a fan. He wanted to get into Bender's head, to know his every thought and feeling. Then Reed read about the Santa Rosa Slasher, killer of twenty-three women, suspected of seven more. That was when he informed the authorities and agreed to become the bait to lure a possible suspect into the noonday sun...
