December 2022 - New Books

We’ve read so many great books in 2022 and still some more to come in December! We’d like to highlight a few new releases to get the holiday reading season started.  We know you’ll want to place holds on these as soon as you can so you can cozy up with some hot cocoa, twinkly lights, and a good read! 

Michelle Gallen. Factory Girls

Taking a summer job at a local shirt factory in 1994, Catholic Maeve Murray, who grew up during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, looks forward to saving money for University while working alongside Protestants and an untrustworthy English boss in this darkly comic novel.

Cormac McCarthy. Stella Maris

Told entirely through the transcripts of the narrator's psychiatric sessions, this intimate portrait of grief and longing follows 20-year-old Alicia Western as she, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, contemplates the nature of madness, her hallucinations and her own existence in 1972 Black River Falls, Wisconsin.

Hannah Morrissey. The Widowmaker

When she witnesses the murder of a cop that is linked to a 20-year-old cold case involving the disappearance of a business mogul, down-on-her-luck photography Morgan Mori collides with a detective determined to make a name for himself as she exposes her own dark demons to solve this mystery.

Rachel Kepelke-Dale. The Ingenue

When the family estate is bequeathed to a man she shares a complicated history with, former piano prodigy Saskia Kreis is forced to reexamine her own past and the romantic relationship that changed the course of her life for answers.

Darby Kane. The Last Invitation

Invited to join a secret club of powerful women, the Sophie Foundation, who mete out justice to men who behave very, very badly, Jessa Hall soon realizes the high and deadly price of admission and discovers that once in the group, it's impossible to get out.

John le Carré. A Private Spy

During his lifetime, le Carré wrote numerous letters to writers, spies, politicians, artists, actors and public figures. This collection is a treasure trove, revealing the late author's humor, generosity, and wit--a side of him many readers have not previously seen.
