Popular author Lisa Scottoline heads up the Hall of Fame for the month of March with Loyalty. “Franco Fiovanti dreams of owning his own lemon grove. Determined to secure a better future, he will do anything to prove his loyalty to the baron. When asked to kidnap a little boy, Franco makes a decision that changes his life and alters Sicily forever. It takes a bit for the main characters to come together, but this quickly becomes an emotional, action-packed epic of love and justice, set during the rise of the Mafia.” (3-28) Karen Troutman

The Kind Worth Saving is by Peter Swanson. “Henry Kimball is back—dismissed from his police job and working as a private investigator. Client Joan hires Henry to investigate her cheating husband, but as he pieces together past events, he starts to realize something else may be going on. The ending provides new insight and depth into Henry’s life and relationships with lots of twists and turns for mystery readers to enjoy.” (3-7) Cari Dubiel

The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise by Colleen Oakley is a fun read. “After a freak accident derails Tanner’s college soccer career, she moves in with Louise, an older woman whose family thinks she needs a caregiver. But there’s more to Louise than Tanner expects—and when Louise’s past comes to light, the two go on the lam. This one’s great for fans of lively intergenerational fiction and A Thousand Miles to Graceland.” (3-28) Nanette Donohue

Jesse Q. Sutanto’s latest is Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers. “Written with wickedly sharp humor and a tightly woven plot, the book is also about the hurt that families can give and the unexpected joys of found family. Vera is a delight as she bosses everyone around, investigating her main suspects even as she weaves bonds of friendship with and between them. Also, the description of the tea and food were mouthwateringly delicious! (3-14) Laura Eckert

Master of suspense, Alex Finlay, brings us What Have We Done. “One night, five teenagers who grew up together in a group home commit a murder and take off into the rest of their lives. Twenty years later, they each face an assassin sent to kill them. Now, the race is on to figure out who is behind the killers. This was a fantastic roller coaster of a thriller with lots of twists and turns.” (3-7) Linda Quinn
