Ghost Writer by Rene Gutteridge. Reviewed by Word Lily. This mystery sounds intriguing.

Franklin and Winston: An Intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship by John Meacham. Reviewed by Carrie at Reading to Know. I really already had this one on my radar, but Carrie reminded me that I want to read it. Winston Churchill, whatever you may think of his politics, was a fascinating man, and the same could be said of FDR.

The Name of This Book Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch. Jennifer at 5 Minutes for Books gave this one to daughter Amanda, and it was a hit.

Murder on the Cliffs by Joanna Challis. Reviewed at S. Krishna’s Books. Daphne du Maurier investigates a murder in a setting reminiscent of Rebecca. If it’s done well, this concept could be amazing.

The Confederate General Rides North by Amanda Gable. Recommended at A Bookshelf Monstrosity.

Island of the World by Michael O’Brien. Laura says it’s a “best book ever.”
