A book list for a lover of lots of different kinds of fiction by Melanie Lynne Hauser

The Cazalet Chronicles (Washington Square Press)
by Elizabeth Jane Howard

I'm a bit obsessed with World War II right now (one of the projects I'm working on is set in this period), and this is a grand saga of a British family that takes place in this time.

 
Suite Francaise (Vintage)
by Irene Nemirovsky

An amazing book written during the Nazi occupation of France and only recently discovered by the daughter of the author who died in a concentration camp soon after completing the book.

 
The Secret Confessions of the Applewood PTA (Avon A)
by Ellen Meister

Just out in paperback, this is a fun, satirical book by my friend that would definitely appeal to fans of Super Mom.

 
Dirty Martini (Hyperion)
By J.A. Konrath

The 4th book in the Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels series of urban mysteries written by my pal.

 
A Poisoned Season (William Morrow)
by Tasha Alexander

2nd book in a series of historical suspense novels, set in Victorian England and featuring a spunky heroine and lots of antiquities and sumptuous costumes also by my friend.
