Death Comes To The Village by Catherine Lloyd
Kurland St. Mary series Book #1
Nominated by Carol
Description
A wounded soldier and a rector's daughter discover strange goings-on in the sleepy village of Kurland St. Mary in Catherine Lloyd's charming Regency-set mystery debut.
Major Robert Kurland has returned to the quiet vistas of his village home to recuperate from the horrors of Waterloo. However injured his body may be, his mind is as active as ever. Too active, perhaps. When he glimpses a shadowy figure from his bedroom window struggling with a heavy load, the tranquil façade of the village begins to loom sinister. . .
Unable to forget the incident, Robert confides in his childhood friend, Miss Lucy Harrington. As the dutiful daughter of the widowed rector, following up on the major's suspicions offers a welcome diversion--but soon presents real danger. Someone is intent on stopping their investigation. And in a place where no one locks their doors, a series of thefts and the disappearance of two young serving girls demands explanation. . .
As Robert grapples with his difficult recovery, he and Lucy try to unearth the dark truth lurking within the village shadows, and stop a killer waiting to strike again.

Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham
Standalone
Nominated by Carol
Description
On the right side of the law—sort of—Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. His office is a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, and fine leather chairs. He has no firm, no partners, and only one employee: his heavily armed driver, who also so happens to be his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddie. Sebastian drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. He defends people other lawyers won’t go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because Sebastian believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial—even if he has to bend the law to secure one.

Nominated by Carol
Description
Winter gripped the city. Terror gripped it, too. They found four corpses in four days, each more hideous than the last.
At first the cops thought they were dealing with a psychopath. But soon they heard eerie sounds in the ventilation system—and saw unearthly silver eyes in the snow-slashed night.
In a city paralyzed by a blizzard, something watches, something stalks…

The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly
#1 in the Mickey Halley Series
Nominated by Brenda
Description
Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers -- they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice.
A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal -- this time to save his own life.

Nominated by Brenda
Description
This gripping tale unfolds in a peaceful Minnesota town, where crime is something that just doesn't happen. But when a young boy disappears, it marks the beginning of a unspeakable nightmare. There are no witnesses, no clues, only a note, cleverly taunting, casually cruel. Has a cold-blooded kidnapper struck? Or is this the reawakening of a long-quiet serial killer? Now, a tough-minded investigator on her first, make-or-break case, and a local cop who fears that big city evils have invaded his small town, are hunting for a madman. Together, they must outsmart a killer who knows no bounds...and protect a town that may never feel safe again.

The Cairo Diary by Maxime Chattam
Standalone
Nominated by Sushicat
Description
British-occupied Cairo, 1928: Several young children have disappeared and were then found, horribly mutilated, in the tombs just outside the city. Panic is spreading among the locals after a cloaked giant is sighted. Has a ghoul from One Thousand and One Nights been brought to life? British inspector Jeremy Matheson follows the trail of the monster, which takes him into the depths of underground Cairo, as well as deep into his own tortured past.
Mont-Saint-Michel, 2005: Marion has taken refuge in the wind-swept and remote monastery located on a spit of land on the west coast of France. In the wake of a scandal, caused by her own revelations, that is now reverberating through the French capital, she has been spirited away from Paris and brought here by the French Secret Service for her own protection. When she finds a diary dating from 1928 in the monastery library, penned by Jeremy Matheson and hidden inside the jacket of an Edgar Allan Poe book, she is inexorably pulled into the past as she follows his investigation. Soon she feels she is being watched, and taunting notes and riddles urge her to give back what is not hers. Could one of the brothers or sisters at the monastery be behind this? And who is the old man Marion befriends?
The two stories intertwine and culminate in an absolutely baffling climax in this cinematic bestselling thriller from France. Meticulously researched and fast-paced, Maxim Chattam's The Cairo Diary is a stunning mystery.

The Lost Army of Cambyses by Paul Sussman
# 1 of 3 in the Yusuf Khalifa Series
Nominated by Eadie
Description
In 523 BC, the Persian pharaoh Cambyses dispatched an army across Egypt’s western desert to destroy the oracle at Siwa. Legend has it that somewhere in the middle of the Great Dune Sea his army was overwhelmed by a sandstorm and lost forever. Two and a half millennia later a mutilated corpse is washed up on the banks of the Nile at Luxor, an antique dealer is savagely murdered in Cairo, and a British archaeologist is found dead at the ancient necropolis of Saqqara.
The incidents appear unconnected, but Inspector Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor police is suspicious, as is the archaeologist’s daughter, Tara Mullray. Lured into a labyrinth of intrigue, violence, and betrayal by a mysterious hieroglyphic fragment and rumors of a mythic lost tomb, what began as a search for the truth becomes a race for survival. Confronted by both present day adversaries and ghosts from their pasts, Khalifa and Mullray find themselves on a trail that leads into the desert’s unforgiving, burning heart, and the answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world.

LOL! Yes I guess I dd at that. They were two books that I absolutely knew I could get in some form. I really wanted to vote for the Hunters...but didn't trust that the library could get it. I have found most of Kuzneski's books nearly impossible to get here...and if you can they cost an arm and a leg and your first born:) And wouldn't you know that the library has every John Gilstrap book EXCEPT, Scott Free!

>Oh No...it's my arm and leg that I'm not wiling to part with:) There were times that I threatened to give him to a band of gypsies. He turned out to be a very fine, upstanding, making his parent's proud man...so can't complain too much.

>37 Andrew-theQM: We used Survey Monkey for input on our programs and other activities when I was at the Zoo. Everyone found it really easy to use...even those that were not particularly computer savvy. I took the survey and I don't see why this wouldn't work for our voting. I never set the survey up so I don't know how easy it is to actually create. I could see the results of the favorite Ann Cleeve's book but not the voting for the November read.

>39 Carol420: It took me a while to work out how to use it but now I have done that hopefully should be relatively simple in the future.

Good to know it works, I wasn't sure but can see other uses for this.

So a big thank you to Sushicat, she made me go back and try again and managed to succeed on this occasion! Rather overawed by options on first occasion. As for the question, I just had to think of a quick question but it was a good one! :)

Looking good. You're right about the options. There's another nice one where you could make us sort the reads by preference. Also, you can sort the results in such a way that the one with the most votes comes on top. How did you get the results to show at the end?

The library will probably have to get the book from the UK so reading it in November may not be possible.
49Andrew-theQM
We'll keep a weather eye on this. If people can't get the book in time we can postpone it until people can get it and replace it with something else (could bring one of the December books forward).
50Andrew-theQM
Have just checked Amazon.com, they have the book available so hopefully the library might be able to pick it up in the US. According to them if I was in the US I could have it by 31st October.
