Indie Next List

Check out some of the recommendations from independent booksellers in the April Indie Next List.

Highlights from the list include:

A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
In this tale of psychological suspense, Catherine Land answers Ralph Truitt's ad for a "reliable wife". Set in 1907 rural Wisconsin, the book, with its haunting tension and stunning conclusion, offers a fresh take on the mail order bride scenario.

Revenge of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz
This is the third installment in Lutz's mystery series chronicling the wacky adventures of San Francisco private investigator Isabel "Izzy" Spellman. If you're a fan of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, you might give this series a try.

Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton
This amazing book chronicles the unlikely friendship between a rape victim and the man she wrongly identified as her attacker. Picking Cotton is a moving meditation on the power of forgiveness.

All three of these titles are available from PCLS.

I am looking forward to trying "The Revenge of the Spellmans", since I enjoy Stephanie Plum so much. Sounds like the character is similar to the main character in my book, Caroline Baker. Thanks for the tip.
