Burglars Can't Be Choosers by Lawrence Block

Eight weeks after a heart transplant saves his life, former FBI agent Terry McCaleb discovers that his new heart came from a murder victim, leading Terry to become involved in tracking down the killer.










The Black Box by Michael Connelly

 Love You More by Lisa Gardner
 Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor. His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren, it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter? As the homicide investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break the case.

Life After Life--two new books 2013

An alert Circ person who orders large print materials for our library has pointed out that there are two 2013 titles with the same title.  One is Life After Life by Jill McCorkle and the other is Life After Life by Kate Atkinson.  Two entirely different books, both by top notch writers.

Therefore, if you are reserving this title for someone, be sure you have the right author.  It is also possible that library patrons may get on the wrong list by mistake.

Thank goodness for our alert staff members!
