By Joanne Fluke

Hannah has felt as bitter as November in Minnesota since Ross vanished without a trace and left their marriage in limbo.  Still, she throws herself into a baking frenzy for the sake of pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving-themed treats while endless holiday orders pour into The Cookie Jar.  Hannah even introduces a raspberry Danish pastry to the menu, and P.K., her husband’s assistant at KCOW-TV, will be one of the first to sample it.  But instead of taking a bite, P.K., who is driving Ross’s car and using his desk at work, is murdered.  Was someone plotting against P,K, all along or did Ross dodge a deadly dose of sweet revenge?  Hannah will have to quickly sift through a cornucopia of clues and suspects to stop a killer from bringing another murder to the table…

The Hush

By John Hart

It’s been ten years since the events that changed Johnny Merrimon’s life and rocked his hometown to the core.  Since then, Johnny has fought to maintain his privacy, but books have been written of his exploits; the fascination remains.  Living alone on six thousand acres of once-sacred land, Johnny’s only connection to normal life is his old friend, Jack.  They’re not boys anymore, but the bonds remain.  What they shared.  What they lost.  But Jack sees danger in the wild places Johnny calls home; he senses darkness and hunger, an intractable intent.  Johnny will discuss none of it, but there are things he knows, the things he can do.  A lesser friend might accept such abilities as a gift, but Jack has felt what moves in the swamp:  the cold of it, the unspeakable fear.
