The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck
For fans of: The Nightingale, Sarah's Key, The Light Between Oceans
Set at the end of World War II in a crumbling Bavarian castle that once played host to all of German high society, this is the powerful and propulsive story of three widows whose lives and fates become intertwined. An affecting, shocking, and ultimately redemptive novel from the author of the New York Times Notable Book The Hazards of Good Breeding.
"The Women in the Castle is a vivid and gripping tale of endurance in the wake of World War II…. The writing is magnificent, as is Shattuck’s ability to render unimaginable circumstances with tremendous clarity and compassion. A joy to read, this is a beautiful and important book."
—Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest

Mississippi Blood by Greg Iles
For fans of: Memory Man by David Baldacci, The Stranger by Harlan Coben
In the exhilarating final volume in the epic Natchez Burning trilogy, Greg Iles’s bold and ambitious story of blood and honor, Penn Cage meets the endgame as the sins of the past continue to haunt the present.
"Iles wraps up his massively ambitious Natchez Burning trilogy with a book that is (in keeping with its predecessors) compelling, dark, surprising, and morally ambiguous…. This trilogy is destined to become a classic of literary crime fiction."
