The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden

Sydney Shaw’s dating life was a disaster until she met the perfect guy, Tom. A handsome and charming doctor, he says and does all the right things… but when an investigation into the most recent murder in a string of killings starts to point in his direction, everything starts to unravel. Sydney doesn’t want to believe that her dream guy is a monster, but if she can’t figure out who the real killer is soon… she fears she might be next. This book kept me on my toes the whole time and the twists at the end were ones that I definitely didn’t see coming. It's a great thrilling read! Available at the library and through Libby.

The Mountains We Call Home by Kim Michele Richardson

Books are powerful. Being able to read & write opens doors and hearts and minds. In this third return to Kentucky and the world of Cussy Lovett that’s exactly the journey we’re taken on. Incarcerated for marrying outside their “race”, Cussy and Jackson are separated to serve their terms. She of course finds her way to the prison library and uses her talents as a book woman to care for her fellow inmates. There’s so much history to be learned and joy as the cast of characters Richardson creates begin to discover the freedom found in literacy. While the characters in the book may be fictional you just know their experiences are based in reality. Ultimately this was a satisfying & emotional conclusion to the Book Woman of Troublesome Creek series. It’s billed as a standalone but I highly recommend starting at the first book. Available at the library and through Libby. ~ Leslie M.
