NEW FICTION BOOKS:

Fatal Intrusion by Jeffrey Deaver – Carmen Sanchez is a tough Homeland Security agent who plays by the rules. But when her sister is attacked, revealing a connection to a series of murders across Southern California, she realizes a conventional investigation will not be enough to stop the ruthless perpetrator.

The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave – Liam Noone was many things to many people. To the public, he was an exacting, self-made hotel magnate fleeing his past. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving albeit distant family man who kept his finances flush and his families carefully separated. To Nora, he was a father who often loved her from afar – notably, a cliffside cottage perched on the California coast where he fell to his death.

The Banned Books Club by Brenda Novak – Despite their strained relationship, when Gia Rossi’s sister, Margot, begs her to come home to Wakefield, Iowa, to help with their ailing mother, Gia knows she has no choice. After her rebellious and at-times-tumultuous teen years, Gia left town with little reason to look back. But she knows Margot’s borne the brunt of their mother’s care and now it’s Gia’s turn to help, even if it means opening old wounds.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty – The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job – she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to – but today is her 28th birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Funny Story by Emily Henry – Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat) and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.
