Novel Ideas

Whether you are looking for a "beach read" or want to transport yourself from staycation to summer adventure, check out Bailey Library's Reading Room for the latest 2012 books.

Mystery buffs can choose from Stolen Prey by John Sandford, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn or the Skeleton Box by Bryan Gruley.  James Patterson fans will be enthralled with Private Games or might enjoy Eleventh Hour. 
                                                                      

Looking for romance?  Check out Last Boyfriend by Nora Roberts or a fun & flirty Lizzy and Diesel novel entitled Wicked Business by Janet Evanovich.  Another Janet Evanovich novel (written along with Dorien Kelly) is Love in a Nutshell that delivers romantic suspense, small-town antics, secretive sabotage and lots and lots of beer!
