One for the Money by Janet Evanovich
Slightly mindless, entertaining and funny, at least at the beginning. It painted a good picture of the caricature people might have in their minds of the New Jersey underworld. The appeal is in the main character, Stephanie Plum, who is on the one hand kind of vulnerable and sexy and on the other hand fearless and determined.
The Call by Yannick Murphy
The unusual format (paragraphs labelled with repeating categories), lends appeal. This is the story of a rural Vermont veterinarian, his family, love and forgiveness. Recommended!
Northwest Corner by John Burnham Schwartz
This slightly dark, yet redemptive story is about what happens to two families after a tragic accident which occurred in Schwartz's Reservation Road. Events occur which look like the son will follow in the footsteps of his ruined father but in the end, it's his father's support and love which saves him. The bonds of love that were in place before the accident, ultimately prevail.
