Even Dogs In the Wild is a Scottish police procedural. I really enjoyed this, Rankin kept me guessing.
I think Ohio by debut author Stephen Markley is going to be an instant best-seller. The book will be published in August, and you don't want to miss it. "Markley’s novel is alternately disturbing and gorgeous, providing a broad view of the anxieties of a post-9/11 Middle America and the complexities of the humans who navigate them." ~ Publisher's Weekly.
I picked Rainsong to read because the title reminded me of Plainsong, one of my favorite books. The story starts slow, but I really liked it. It will be published in September. Here's the blurb from the BN site, "It unfolds as a compelling tale of grief, art, and the fragile, quiet ways in which time and place can offer a measure of redemption."
And, I picked up The Martin Chronicles, because of Martian Chronicles! Sometimes these things work out. This is a moving debut that perfectly captures the intense emotion, humor, and earnestness of young adulthood as Marty navigates a series of life-changing firsts: first kiss, first enemy, first loss, and ultimately, his first awareness that the world is not as simple or safe a place as he had once imagined. The book will be published in January 2019.
Don't you just love this title, Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral? I'm not big on "chick-lit", but this story was great, and it does Thelma and Louise, one better. “Radish sings the praises of sisterhood by creating an enticing world of women helping women to become the empowered individuals they were meant to be.” —Booklist
