With the empathy and compassion that we can expect from Kiernan, comes The Hummingbird. Deborah Birch is an experienced hospice nurse, her current patient an eccentric, rude, set-in-his-ways retired professor with a history that he refuses to share. She's up for the challenge. But her personal life is also in need of tender care. Her husband is home from his third deployment to Iraq. With each return he is a changed man, but this third return is the greatest change. He is not the man she married at all: tortured, closed off, resistant to her affection, flat out a different man. Deborah is willing to to stick by him, and help comes to her from a place she least expected: her hospice patient.
While Kiernan's The Curiosity certainly dealt with the ethical and moral issues that he is known for, this story is clearly one that Kiernan had close to his heart. The writing is compassion personified, the story is compelling and as hopeful as it is heartbreaking.

Rachel is far from being the most likeable person or reliable witness, so when she goes to the police after observing something out of the ordinary on her daily train ride, her whole life spirals out of control. Everything she knows to be true of herself--present AND past--changes. This is my kind of suspense novel.

This book took me by surprise. Not my usual genre choice, I was immediately drawn into Vianne and Isabelle's story: two sisters whose survival in Nazi occupied France take different paths.What each sister chooses to do, how they respond to occupation, shows us what we might do in the most challenging of moments. A great read.

Jennifer McMahon's newest novel is creepy to its dark core.

When a loved one passes, we want nothing more than to bring them back.

What if you could? What about the repurcussions?

Set in the town of West Hall, VT, a town with old legends and superstitions, McMahon's The Winter People tells the story of Sarah Harrison Shea and her mysterious death in 1908, and of present day Ruthie, her mother Alice, and Katherine...and how the legend of Sarah's tragic story has connected them all. The Winter People will keep you reading well into the night, make your hair stand on end, make you check under the bed and, most important, keep the closet door shut tight.

An intense his-and-her look at the unraveling of a marriage. Not a thriller--not even a mystery--we know from the start that Jodi is going to kill Todd, but the classic why, sinister how and fine details of the disintegrating relationship are revealed over the course of this clever novel. (FYI, this novel is often compared to Gone Girl, if you liked Gone Girl you will like The Silent Wife, but they are NOTHING alike).
