Periodically we publish reading recommendations from our staff members, and this month we feature some favorites from our circulation supervisor Patty Mangel. Enjoy!
- Cork O’ Connor series by William Kent Krueger. These take place in Minnesota and should be read in order so you get to know the family. Start with Iron Lake.
- Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny. I have been pleasantly surprised by how much I love these mysteries. The main detective is a man you’d love to call friend. Start with Still Life.
- For a Swedish mystery that isn’t quite as dark as some of the others, try the Fjällbacka series by Camilla Läckberg. Start with The Ice Princess.
- Try an Appalachian Mountains noir! One Foot in Eden or The World Made Straight by Ron Rash.
- Or, switch mountains and try a noir from the Ozarks by Daniel Woodrell.
- For a mystery that tells you who done it in the first paragraph, read A Secret History, the first novel by Donna Tartt.
- Want a heartwarming story that will make you laugh? Read Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman or Eat, Drink, and Be from Mississippi by Nanci Kincaid.
- For something a little fun and a little disturbing, read The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier.
