IN THE STACKS

“A Walk Along the Beach”

Debbie Macomber

Always a comfortable and comforting read, Macomber offers a tale of two sisters with a long history of interdependence and moving on. The challenges of making long needed changes personally and new business risks add plots twists.

Macomber always offers a little romance and heavy doses of the importance of family. The weather has been perfect to curl up with a “feel good” read. This one fits the bill.

“Thick as Thieves” Sandra Brown

A great crime mystery— twenty years ago four people pulled the ultimate heist and just almost got away with a half a million dollars.

Within hours one was in the hospital, one was in jail, one was dead, and one did get away. Still dealing with much personal trauma, the daughter of the one who got away finds that the other two survivors are watching her every move.

Perhaps this daughter knows more than anyone might have guessed. These years later one of the men is a war hero— having evaded a jail sentence by enlisting in the military—and the other has become a district attorney—a corrupt one.

The stage is set as all these players begin turning on each other. What will happen?
