I swore I’d never move back to Alder Creek. Not after losing Dad at sixteen, when grief turned every familiar corner into a reminder of what I’d lost. Not after building a successful career at one of Chicago’s top architecture firms. But when Mom traded Colorado winters for Florida beaches, someone had to deal with our family home. Three weeks should be plenty. Renovate, sell, move on . I definitely didn’t plan on Evan Spencer—my best friend’s handsome older brother and my secret high school crush. Back then, he was the star football player with a million-dollar smile. Now he runs the town’s most successful construction company alongside his sister. When he offered to help renovate the house, I couldn’t say no. Not when he speaks about Dad with such genuine respect. Between his quiet understanding, his adorable dog’s enthusiasm, and friendships that picked up right where they left off, Alder Creek is making me question every reason I had for leaving. But I have a plan, and it doesn’t involve falling for my old crush or letting Alder Creek feel like home again. Returning Home is the first novel in the Alder Creek series. It’s a cozy small-town romance with all the sizzling chemistry and none of the spice. Each book can be read on its own, but you’ll see familiar faces along the way.

Sweden’s most tenacious detective races to unlock the twisted logic behind a madman’s crimes: “Lyrical, meticulous, and stunningly suspenseful” ( St. Petersburg Times ). On Midsummer’s Eve, three friends gather in a secluded meadow in Sweden. In the beautifully clear twilight, they don eighteenth-century costumes and begin a secret role-play. But an uninvited guest soon brings their performance to a gruesome conclusion. His approach is careful; his aim is perfect. Three bullets, three corpses. And his plans have only just begun to take shape. Meanwhile, Inspector Kurt Wallander is just back from vacation. Constantly fatigued, he soon learns his health is at risk—but there’s no time for rest when a fellow officer is murdered. Wallander soon discovers that the two grisly crimes are connected. A serial killer is on the loose, and the only lead is a photograph of a strange woman no one in Sweden seems to know. Forced to dig into the personal life of a trusted colleague, Wallander steps into a nightmare worse than any he could have imagined. Can he find his way out of the darkness before it’s too late? A pulse-pounding thriller and an incisive investigation into the mysteries of human nature, One Step Behind is “typical of the dense, intricate intelligence that Mankell brings to detection and crime writing” ( The Washington Post Book World ).
