author on Jul 29, 2019

“‘A Walk in the Dark’ by Gianrico Carofiglio is a stylish legal thriller set along Italy’s southern coast combines wit, wisdom and romantic intrigue. An anti-Mafia prosecutor and member of the Senate, Carolfiglio is a best-selling novelist in Italy. When Martina accuses her ex-boyfriend of assault, Guido Guerrieri agrees to accept her case even though he knows it could cost him his career.” — Maryann, Canio’s Books

“‘The Red Daughter’ by John Burnham Schwartz. This fascinating novel about Svetlana Stalin, who defects from Russia in the ’60s, is a stirring portrait of the child of the most reviled man in history. The story is told through ‘diaries/letters,’ including from the young American lawyer who brought her to America and who happens to be the author's father. This reimagining is based on his experience. Read this!” — Melanie, BookHampton

“‘Lost Roses’ by Martha Hall Kelly is a sweeping new novel, inspired by true events, follows three equally indomitable women from St. Petersburg to Paris under the shadow of World War I. Martha Hall Kelly brings an epic moment in time alive to the reader – allowing us to see the splendors of Russia and historic fall of Russia’s Imperial dynasty against the story of three strong women. A rollercoaster ride that was inspired by true events! You can’t put this down!' — Jane, Bedside Reading
