BCD Abbott
The End of Everything by Megan Abbott. Read by Emily Bauer. 6 discs. 6+ hours.
“Thirteen-year-old Lizzie Hood is the last person to see her best friend, Evie, before she disappears. They've been inseparable for years, and Lizzie knows everything about her-or does she? Lizzie knows enough to pursue clues the police dismiss, but in all her reflections there are flashes of darker moments and unsettling questions. Her narration is full of quick glimpses of another story, just there on the edges, that create layers of suspense.”

What the astronauts discover is that the object is not a piece of space debris but a cry for help from another civilization.”

You’re Next by Gregg Hurwitz. Read by Scott Brick. 12 discs. 14+ hours.
“Someone recognizes Mike Wingate's picture in the newspaper and begins to destroy Mike's life. But why? Tagged a terrorist, Mike winds up on the run from the cops and a nasty crew. He and a friend from his foster home days follow a faint trail back to the surprising source of the plot. The bad guys are suitably evil and the mystery satisfying, but Hurwitz's (They're Watching) real success is depicting Mike's hard-won life as a husband, father, and successful businessman. A first-rate thriller.“

BCD Nair
The Girl in the Garden by Kamala Nair. Read by Anitha Gandhi. 8 discs. 9 hours
“Nair's well-crafted debut novel weaves secret gardens and faraway jungles with a juicy tale of friendship, family, and fidelity. Rakhee is ten years old when she accompanies her mother to their ancestral village in India, far from her home and father in Minnesota… The unexpected twists and dark secrets lurking make it difficult for readers to put this engrossing story down. A strong cast of well-developed characters will further capture their emotions.”

BCD Robards
Justice by Karen Robards. Read by Angela Dawe. 10 discs. 11+ hours.
BCD Robotham
The Wreckage by Michael Robotham. Read by Sean Barrett. 12 discs. 13+ hours.
“The serpentine plot is rooted in truth; tens, perhaps hundreds, of millions in cash shipped into Baghdad in the days following the U.S. occupation did disappear. The CIA, MI6, Iraqi bagmen, disaffected London Muslims, and a creepy West Bank assassin all attempt to thwart our protagonists, and some of them have a nearly compelling rationale for their actions. All those factors, plus the almost palpable fear of violence in Baghdad after the U.S takeover, makes The Wreckage thoroughly compelling.”
