Genre of the Month:
It is the lazy, hazy days of summer. What better time to pick up
a cookbook written by a famous cook or chef and try out an
exciting new recipe. From the classics, such as Julia Child and
James Beard, to the up-to-date television personas, such as
Rachael Ray and Bobby Flay, there are innumerable tempting
tantalizing tastes to try. Enjoy! |
Two books that go great together! Read them back to back and explore common themes.
While these two novels take place in different countries, the theme of love between people from different cultures and the barriers they face, is universal. |

Laurie
R. King is a native of California and writes a contemporary mystery
series about a policewoman, Kate Martinelli, in San Francisco, an area
that she knows well. However, Ms. King is probably best known for her
Sherlock Holmes novels with a new twist. It is late in Holmes life and
he has a new assistant, Mary Russell, who is a young woman of talent and
wisdom. Their collaboration makes for lively adventures. Ms. King also
writes psychological suspense novels that have loose ties by locality or
secondary characters. She is an award winning author (Edgar Allen Poe
Award, Mystery Writers of America; John Creasey Dagger Award; Macavity
Award, etc.) who we hope you will enjoy discovering.
