New Books in Favorite Series!


There are several popular series authors who have new books out in November.  Many of these will be on reserve, so if you want to read these you may need to get your name on the list!
Sue Grafton fans, rejoice!  Kinsey Millhone is back, though she ‘s a little worse for wear after a punch in the face leaves her with two black eyes and a broken nose.  That’s just the start of the complications in V is for Vengeance, the long awaited new entry in the series that started with A is for Alibi.  Reserve it today!
Before Catherine Coulter became famous for her FBI thrillers, she wrote some wonderful historical romances.   The Prince of Ravenscar is her newest book and a sequel to the Sherbrooke Twins. In fact, the author suggests you reread the latter before reading the new book.  Where can you find a copy of The Sherbrooke Twins?  Why, your local library! We have copies in large print, paperback and on CD!
Did you love Wicked?    Out of Oz is the fourth and final book in Gregory Maguire’s inspired re-imagining of the Land of Oz.  Maguire brings back some  of his beloved characters and gives us a good look at that Kansas girl, Dorothy Gale.
When ships suddenly begin exploding, Kurt Austin is called to investigate and uncovers a dictator’s plan to use an incredible weapon to extort tribute from the world’s governments.  Devil’s Gate by Clive Cussler is another thrilling chapter in the Numa Files series!
For Harry Bosch, time is ticking down.  He only has three years before he’ll have to retire from the force, and he’s anxious to solve as many cases as he can before then.  Harry should know to be careful what he wishes for, when two cases suddenly show up on the same day, both with horrifying implications. Best-selling author Michael Connelly is in top form with The Drop.  Reserve it today!
Fall means it’s time for a new Margaret Maron book! In Three Day Town,  Judge Deborah Knott and her deputy sheriff husband are visiting the Big Apple,  but their hopes for their long delayed honeymoon are dashed when their doorman is murdered and a box is missing.  Maron fans will be delighted to know that the investigating officer is none other than Sigrid Harald, who was featured in Maron’s first mystery series.
Flavia is back!  Everyone’s favorite eleven year old chemist /sleuth has an ingenious plan to ensnare Father Christmas, but first she has another murder to solve.  Alan Bradley has concocted another winning tale with I Am Half Sick of Shadows  A Flavia de Luce Novel.
James Patterson’s new book is Kill Alex Cross.  Need we say more?
Eragon fans, the wait is over!  Inheritance, the fourth and final book in the saga, is out this month.  Christopher Paolini became a media sensation as a nineteen year old best-selling author.  Now 27, his books have been licensed into 49 different languages!
If you like off-beat—and we mean really offbeat—mysteries, then Tim Dorsey may be the author for you.  His protagonist is Serge Storms, a psychopathic serial killer with a strong sense of justice, sort of like a gregarious and outgoing Dexter.  The new book in the series is When Elves Attack, A Joyous Christmas Greeting from the Criminal Nutbars of the Sunshine State.
