This is a book set during WWII, but not about WWII, and that alone made me anxious to pick it up (I'm suffering from WWII fiction overload!).In 1939, 30 year old Hetty Cartwright arrives at the venerable Lockwood Manor with the mammal collection from London's Natural History Museum. The museum was being dismantled and distributed around the countryside in an attempt to keep collections safe from the anticipated bombings of London. Hetty takes her job very seriously, despite being derided as a woman and barely tolerated by the Lord of the Manor.It isn't long after her arrival that Hetty shares something with Lucy Lockwood - the daughter of the Lord and a young woman who was thought to be fragile. Hetty and Lucy both felt that things inside Lockwood moved around at night and that humans might not be responsible.Bonded by their girlhood and sense of unease, the women become close. But it may not be enough to protect them from whoever is stalking Lockwood's corridors at night.This is not a paranormal book, nor exactly a mystery. Debut author Jane Healey has given us a full-bodied read that will live in the imagination long after the final page is turned.

Gladwell, the author of five big NYT bestsellers, including The Tipping Point and Outliers, returns with Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About People We Don't Know.And in typical Gladwell style, he gives us an easily readable book chock full of examples and studies to illustrate his point - that we humans really aren't that good at "reading" each other's intentions and feelings.From explaining how 'coupling' - circumstances plus action, not just one in a vacuum - must be taken into consideration, to 'transparency' - how we tend to take things at face value - to 'inherent truthfulness' - our tendency to believe what we are told until the opposite has just too much weight to ignore - Gladwell moves us through his thought process with examples ripped from the headlines.He discusses how torture at Guantanamo Bay, Amanda Knox's study-abroad murder conviction, Ferguson police shootings, and the Penn State football program scandal were all affected by the way people perceived the motivations and actions of other people.If you are interested in the way the world works, you owe it to yourself to read Malcolm Gladwell.

This one might have passed me by if a customer hadn't raved about Terry Hayes' I Am Pilgrim.
A far-ranging thriller about an American spy who is called back from "retirement" when intelligence gets word of an inpending attack on the U.S.
Seemingly unrelated events - a murder in NYC in which the killer clearly used Pilgrim's book as a blueprint, the kidnapping of three people whose remains are found in a remote corner of Afghanistan, a biotech expert found eyeless in a junkyard in Damascus, and a billionaire whose death in Turkey was ruled an accident - all lead to one man and a furious race to discover his plot.
Very well conceived with hooks at every turn - I devoured this 600 page tour-de-force, and I think all thriller and espionage fans will, too!

We've sold Emily St. John Mandel's books for a long time, but for most of the world, she became a household name with the publication of Station Eleven, which sold 1.5 million copies in 32 languages.So with Station Eleven as her last novel, the pressure was on to turn in an amazing new novel. And she's done it with The Glass Hotel.Nothing like Station Eleven, The Glass Hotel ranges from Vancouver Island to Dubai and tells the tale of seemingly disparate lives colliding - through a Ponzi scheme and through two disappearances at sea.The vivid characters and their trajectories would keep you turning the pages even if there was no common thread because Mandel is a writer at the top of her game.Many people will buy this book because they recognize the author's name. The store itself will keep them reading far into the night.
