“World War I affected not only those who served, but those who stayed at home. Inspector Ian Rutledge has returned from the war but has brought back his own horrors and guilt. Now, he is faced with two cases, which, he suspects, may be connected. Filled with unexpected twists and turns plus the personal angst of Rutledge himself, The Red Door is one more satisfying chapter in the life of Inspector Rutledge, his family, and cohorts.” — Wendy Foster Leigh, The King’s English, Salt Lake City, UT

“As WWII begins, Lavender Stone’s life in London comes to an abrupt end when she learns that her husband has run off with another woman.

You will adore this story.” — Ann Holman, The King’s English, Salt Lake City, UT

“Imagine a small town in Western Maine that is suddenly cut off from the rest of the world. Now, imagine what would happen next. King’s latest is a story of good versus evil; the helpless and the helpful; people facing a terrible, senseless reality. This is Stephen King’s best book since The Stand, and is destined to be a classic. Really.” — Rita Moran, Apple Valley Books, Winthrop, ME

“In Wolf Hall, Mantel offers a new view of the reign of Henry VIII: from inside the head of Thomas Cromwell, as he ponders ways to increase the size of Henry’s exchequer and aid the king’s efforts to get Anne Boleyn into his bed through the sanctity of marriage. Mantel exposes Cromwell’s thoughts as he frets over his family, his friends, even his enemies. A brilliant novel that encapsulates the Tudor era in the lushest of evocative prose.” — Kathy Ashton, The King’s English, Salt Lake City, UT

“Gail Collins, a New York Times columnist, interviewed hundreds of people from not only the women’s movement but, also, the civil rights movement, and her history encompasses the major events from the 1950s to the present, putting society’s changes into context. This amazing book is necessary reading for everyone.” — Barbara Hoagland, The King’s English, Salt Lake City, UT
