Tethered
by MacKinnon, Amy
Clara Marsh is an undertaker who doesn't believe in God. She spends her solitary life among the dead, preparing their last baths and bidding them farewell with a bouquet from her own garden. Her carefully structured life shifts when she discovers a neglected little girl, Trecie, playing in the funeral parlor, desperate for a friend.
It changes even more when Detective Mike Sullivan starts questioning her again about a body she prepared three years ago, an unidentified girl found murdered in a nearby strip of woods. Unclaimed by family, the community christened her Precious Doe. When Clara and Mike learn Trecie may be involved with the same people who killed Precious Doe, Clara must choose between the stead-fast existence of loneliness and the perils of binding one's life to another.



Quote of the Day

"One is brought into a milieu that does not exist, but which, over the course of reading, one gets accustomed to and which, in one way or the other, one recognizes. It becomes real, intrusive and capturing and finally, uncompromising and intimate: like a mirror."

- Harry Martinson

From The Quotable Book Lover (Lyons Press)

The Likeness
by French, Tana
Another stunning psychological thriller from the author of IN THE WOODS. Cassie Maddox, former undercover detective is working in domestic violence, when she is called to the scene of a murder of a girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to Cassie herself. Stranger still, the victim's name is apparently Lexie Madison, an identity fabricated by Cassie years ago. In an effort to unearth the killer, Cassie is persuaded to go undercover as Lexie Madison, a graduate student at Trinity College who lives with four other English postgrads. Thoughtfully written with multi-faceted characters, this is a mystery to be savored. As layers of secrets are revealed, this mesmerizing novel will keep the reader riveted!--Tova Beiser
