Home in Harmony by Philip Gully, reviewed by Gail: “This book was a welcome change because it was about a Quaker minister, Sam Gardner of Harmony, Indiana. It is full of anecdotal material that will have you laughing, or at least really enjoying it. His parishioners are all so different and each one brings a special flavor to the book. It was a joyful read.”
Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton, reviewed by Kay: “Best book I’ve read in recent memory. Combination thriller and love story. Can’t recommend it strongly enough.”

Starvation Lake by Brian Gruley, reviewed by Kay: “Excellent first novel of a newspaper writer who returns home to rural Michigan to expose the dark underbelly of the town’s hockey culture.”
Blindside by Catherine Coulter, reviewed by Norma: “A real page-turner. A mixture of the FBI at work and love at its best. Catherine Coulter is a great author.”

Race for the Dying by Steven F. Havill, reviewed by Kay: “Excellent historical novel of frontier surgery from the author of Posadas County mysteries.”
