If it's mid-week, it's time to delve into a good mystery! We'll be sharing some new and "new to you" titles each week. Just published yesterday, local award-winning author Hank Phillippi Ryan's Mother Daughter Sister Stranger is "a psychological thriller with a bevy of secrets" (Booklist)! Sisters Eliza and Bea Ramsey are the sole survivors of a plane crash which killed both of their parents. Eleven years later, Bea's young daughter Piper sleeps over at Eliza's house, but Bea never arrives to claim her the following day. While Eliza fears the worst, she also begins to wonder if Bea's disappearance was planned. Someone knows the family's sinister history, and holds the key to their shared past. But first, they are about to write a devastating final chapter. Can Eliza protect her niece from the Ramseys' horrifying legacy? Mother Daughter Sister Stranger is available in regular print through the CW MARS catalog: https://zurl.co/6yLfm
