FICTION NONFICTION

Other Indie FavoritesAter Her: A Novel, by Joyce Maynard (William Morrow, $25.99) “Loosely based on a true Marin County, California, murder case in the late 1970s, Maynard’s newest work is part thriller, part love story, and part family narrative. Two young, inseparable sisters enjoy spending their school vacation time on the mountain near their home until a series of murders intrude on their games and bring danger and division into their lives. After Her is a masterful piece of storytelling with bits of humor to offset the suspense.” —Carol Hicks, Bookshelf, Truckee, CA

The Returned: A Novel, by Jason Mott (MIRA, $24.95) “What would you do if someone you loved—someone who meant the world to you and made your life complete—died? What would you do if 50 years later that person showed up on your doorstep never having aged and without any recollection of where they had been? This is the question that faces people around the world in Mott’s intriguing novel. Part science fiction, part family drama, part philosophical treatise on human nature, The Returned delves deep into the human psyche without forsaking a genuinely riveting story that will leave you breathless in the end!” —Heather Christman, Warwick’s, La Jolla, CA

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteHand for a Hand: A DCI Andy Gilchrist Investigation, by T. Frank Muir (Soho Crime, $14.95) “A dismembered hand is found on a golf course green with a note addressed to Scottish DCI Andy Gilchrist consisting of just one word: Murder. The subsequent investigation gets too close to home for Andy when family members become involved. Set in historic St. Andrews with dour characters and dreary weather to set the mood, this first in a new series is a real nail-biter until the last page.” —Rita Moran, Apple Valley Books, Winthrop, ME
