Water for Elephants
By Sara Gruen

I loved this book even more each time I read it! Seriously, once is not enough. Of all the books I’ve read over the past few years, this one has a special place in my heart and takes its place at the top of my list.

 
Sin in the Second City
By Karen Abbott

Fans of The Devil In The White City will adore this non-fiction exploration of Chicago’s most popular brothel during the turn of the 20th Century.

 
The Girl Who Stopped Swimming
By Joshilyn Jackson

This one is just off the presses. I was lucky enough to get my hands on an advance copy and could not put it down. Run, don’t walk!

 
A Poisoned Season
By Tasha Alexander

If you think the ladies of Victorian England are all prim and proper then you owe it to yourself to read all about Lady Ashton in Alexander’s riveting historical suspense novel.

 
The Blue Zone
By Andrew Gross

Warning: Don’t read this if you need to get a good night’s sleep because this novel will keep you turning pages into the wee hours of the morning. And lucky for us, his new book The Dark Tide hits bookstores March 18th.

 
Red Leaves
By Thomas H. Cook

Truly one of the most beautifully written mysteries I’ve ever encountered. It’s hard to believe that something so seemingly quiet and simple could pack such a powerful punch. Cook is a master.

 
Life Class
By Pat Barker

I fell in love with this book about a group of artists, set in London against the backdrop of WWI. The writing reads like poetry and the complex characters are so beautiful drawn, it will take your breath away.

 
Sister Carrie
By Theodore Dreiser

This classic novel, which set off quite a scandal when it was first published in the early 1900s, touches upon such despair and heartache, it will haunt me (in a good way) forever.

 
Big City, Bad Blood
By Sean Chercover

This thriller combines the grit of Chicago with the glitz of Hollywood. Chercover takes P.I. fiction to a whole new level.

 
Whistling in the Dark
By Lesley Kagen

This book has it all: charming characters, great prose, humor, sadness and plenty of twists and turns.
