Library News: November 23rd, 2023

This week we are featuring two adult fiction books which are new to our shelves.

The Secret: Jack Reacher by Lee Child and Andrew Child. In 1992, eight respectable, outstanding citizens have been found dead across the United States.

The deaths all look like accidents, they do not appear to be connected, and they do not raise much interest.  However, one victim, who fell from a hospital window and died, generates some unexpected attention. The secretary of defense takes a keen interest in this victim and promptly calls for an interagency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher is assigned as the army's representative. His mission is to uncover the truth. Knowing Jack Reacher, the question will be whether he brings the bad guys to justice the official way or his own way?

Flight: A Novel by Lynn Steger Strong. Just days before Christmas, siblings Henry, Kate, and Martin have joined together with their spouses and children at Henry's house in upstate New York.  This is the first Christmas the siblings are without their mother, and the first that has not occurred at their mother's Florida home. Over the next few days, old resentments and instabilities arise as the brothers and sisters, with a hoard of children afoot, attempt to perform familiar holiday rituals. They must also decide what to do with their mother's house, their sole inheritance. Tensions begin to rise, but the whole group is forced to refocus and come together when a local mother and her daughter unexpectedly need help.
