Gone Tomorrow : A Reacher Novelby Lee ChildA Jack reacher story. Once again many layers to the plot. That kept it interesting. But, I found this one to be a bit more graphic in the violence. But the story moved along. He tries to determine why a woman committed suicide and the fall out from her espionage. For me too graphic only eh. Submitted by Elizabeth

Ghostly Embraceby Brenda HurleyI would have never picked this book out on my own; however, it came highly recommended. And they were right...... I LOVED it!!! After a carpenter is murdered by his own wife, he is "stuck" on earth. As he begins to travel to new homes, he is full of anger. As time goes on, he begins to heal and experience true feelings of love, empathy and caring. I will not tell you what happens as he transforms with his new look on "life." Submitted by Michelle

Window on the Bay : A Novelby Debbie MacomberJenna and Maureen were college friends who planned to go to Paris one day. Well life happened and they married and had families so the trip was put on hold. Years later they are divorced and facing an empty nest so the plan for Paris is on the horizon again. Maureen is a librarian and has a patron who talks with her for book suggestions every week. Is he interested in more than book tips. They seem to be opposites but she is attracted to him. Jenna is a nurse whose first husband was a doctor and would never marry one again until she meets Dr. Rowan. The author writes from the different characters inner thoughts and feeling. Great characterization, fast moving plot and believable characters are combined in this book. Submitted by Ann
